Insulator Material Deposited with Molybdenum Disulphide Prospective for Sensing Application.

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS) exhibits interesting properties for applications in micro and nano-electronics. The key point for sensing properties of a device is the quality of the material's surface. In this study, MoS layers were deposited on polymers by pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

Blue Laser for Production of Carbon Dots.

The synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) is gaining wide-ranging interest due to their broad applicability, owing to their small size and luminescence. CDs were prepared from charcoal via a one-step process using laser ablation in liquid without the use of reagents. The adopted method was based on the use of a commercially available continuous wave (CW) laser diode emitting a 450 nm wavelength and, for the liquid, a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, routinely used in the biological field.

Unveiling the Potential of Vitamin D3 Orodispersible Films: A Comprehensive FTIR and UV-Vis Spectroscopic Study.

Vitamin D3 is a crucial fat-soluble pro-hormone essential for bolstering bone health and fortifying immune responses within the human body. Orodispersible films (ODFs) serve as a noteworthy formulation strategically designed to enhance the rapid dissolution of vitamin D, thereby facilitating efficient absorption in patients. This innovative approach not only streamlines the assimilation process but also plays a pivotal role in optimizing patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes.

Patient, Parental, and Health Professional Perspectives on Growth in Children With CKD.

Rationale & Objective: Growth failure is a common problem among children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Reduced height is associated with psychosocial burden, social stigma, and impaired quality of life. This study describes the aspects of growth impairment that are most impactful from the perspectives of children with CKD, their parents, and health professionals.

Polyvinylalcohol Composite Filled with Carbon Dots Produced by Laser Ablation in Liquids.

Carbon dots (CDs), owing to their excellent photoluminescent features, have been extensively studied for physics preparation methods and for biomedical and optoelectronic device applications. The assessment of the applicability of CDs in the production of luminescent polymeric composites used in LEDs, displays, sensors, and wearable devices is being pursued. The present study reports on an original, environmentally friendly, and low-cost route for the production of carbon dots with an average size of 4 nm by laser ablation in liquid.
