Creating van der Waals (vdW) homojunction devices requires materials with narrow bandgaps and high carrier mobilities for bipolar transport, which are crucial for constructing fundamental building blocks like diodes and transistors in a 2D architecture. Following the recent discovery of elemental 2D tellurium, here, we systematically investigate the electrical transport and flicker noise of hydrothermally grown multilayer tellurium field effect transistors. While the devices exhibit a dominant p-type behavior with high hole mobilities up to ∼242 cm V s at room temperature and almost linear current-voltage characteristics down to 77 K, ambipolar behavior was observed in some cases.

The rise in antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens, particularly , has become a critical global health issue, necessitating the search for novel antimicrobial agents. uses various mechanisms to resist antibiotics, including the activation of efflux pumps, biofilm formation, and enzymatic modification of drugs. This study explores the potential of baicalein, a bioflavonoid from , in modulating tetracycline resistance in by inhibiting efflux pumps.

Organic aquaculture is a new approach in the modern farming system. As the capital investment is higher for setting up the organic aquaculture, it is essential to conduct an economic feasibility study with compare the conventional farming system. In the current study, economic feasibility of culturing Indian major carps (IMC) using conventional culture system and organic culture system (OCS) were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the potential of prodigiosin, a natural antimicrobial compound, to combat drug resistance and provide public health benefits by controlling bacterial growth and reducing oxidative stress.
  • A bacterium identified as Serratia sp. BRL41, isolated from ancient Barhind soil in Bangladesh, was found to produce prodigiosin and contained a gene cluster essential for its biosynthesis.
  • Prodigiosin showed significant antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with effective concentrations established through Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) testing.
