Introduction: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. There are no non-invasive diagnostic tests, medical management requires suppression of oestrogens and surgical removal is associated with risk. Endometriosis is a complex genetic disease with variants in at least 27 genetic regions associated with susceptibility.

1D photonic crystals (1DPCs) are well known from a variety of applications ranging from medical diagnostics to optical fibers and optoelectronics. However, large-scale application is still limited due to complex fabrication processes and bottlenecks in transferring 1DPCs to arbitrary substrates and pattern creation. These challenges were addressed by demonstrating the transfer of millimeter- to centimeter-scale 1DPC sensors comprised of alternating layers of H Sb P O nanosheets and TiO nanoparticles based on a non-invasive chemical approach.

The development of novel, intrinsic two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnets presents the opportunity to vastly improve the efficiency of spintronic devices and sensors. The strong intrinsic antiferromagnetism and van der Waals layered structure exhibited by the bulk transition-metal oxychlorides provide a convenient system for the synthesis of such materials. In this work, we report the exfoliation of bulk FeOCl into and subsequent characterization of intrinsically antiferromagnetic thin-layer FeOCl nanosheets.

Worker size and geographical distribution of red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta Buren), black imported fire ants (Solenopsis richteri Forel), and their hybrid (S. invicta × S. richteri) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) were evaluated from colonies sampled across Tennessee.
