Latent fingerprint imaging is a crucial tool for national security and crime recognition, requiring environmentally sustainable, nontoxic materials. To address this need, we have developed a green fluorescence-emitting material, THCHO, that binds effectively to latent fingerprints, enabling clear, high-resolution visualization. The solution produces strong green fluorescence that highlights fingerprint imprints with exceptional detail and contrast.

It is caused by degenerative changes or overuse of the tendon connecting the elbow joint to the forearm muscle. Plyometric and TheraBand FlexBar (Theraband, Akron, OH, USA) exercises can relieve elbow discomfort, soreness, and weakness.

Nonetheless, its poor intrinsic electronic conductivity has led to inferior electrochemical performance in terms of rate capability and long cycling performance. To address this problem, a combined strategy is adopted, such as (1) carbon coating and (2) high valent Sn ion doping in the lattice site of vanadium in the NVP cathode.

BiFeO (BFO) with a LiNbO-type structure (space group 3) is an ideal negative electrode model system as it delivers a high specific capacity (770 mAh g), which is proposed through a conversion and alloying mechanism. In this work, BFO is synthesized via a sol-gel method and investigated as a conversion-type anode model-system for sodium-ion half-cells.

In the present work, a process for the synthesis of black gold (BG) using a citrate assisted chemical route and m-ZrO by a hydrothermal method at 200 °C has been developed. Further, different concentrations of black gold are being used to decorate the surface of zirconia by exploitation of surface potential of zirconia and gold surfaces.
