The molecular energy transfer is crucial for many different physicochemical processes. The efficiency of traditional resonance energy transfer relies on dipole-dipole distance between molecules and becomes negligible when the distance is larger than ∼10 nm, which is difficult to overcome. Cavity polariton, formed when placing molecules inside the cavity, is a promising way to surmount the distance limit.

This study elucidated the radiation response characteristics of a Gafchromic radiochromic film subjected to low photon doses of ≤50 mSv, which corresponds to the annual whole body effective dose limit for radiation workers in Canada. Radiochromic films are investigated for possible use as a complementary tool for the Canadian Armed Forces that can be worn in addition to their existing personal dosimetry to quickly assess personal radiation dose received from radiological hazards without reliance on electronics. The films were exposed to varying photon energies emanating from x-ray generators and radioisotopes, specifically cesium-137, cobalt-60, and americium-241.

Anticipating intramolecular excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process within dinuclear Ir-photocatalytic system via the covalent linkage is seminal, yet challenging. Indeed, the development of various dinuclear complexes is also promising for studying integral photophysics and facilitating applications in catalysis or biology. Herein, this study reports dinuclear [Ir(bis{imidazo-phenanthrolin-2-yl}-hydroquinone)(ppy)] (1) complex by leveraging both ligand-centered redox property and intramolecular H-bonding for exploring dual excited-state proton-transfer assisted PCET process.

Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) technology has emerged as a promising therapeutic tool for human health conditions like cancer due to its ability to regulate gene silencing. Despite FDA-approved, their delivery remains localized and limiting their systemic use. This study used single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with polyethylene glycolated (PEGylated) phospholipids (PL-PEG) derivatives for systemic siRNA delivery.

, prevalent in the oral cavity, is significantly linked to overall human health. Our molecular comprehension of its role in oral biofilm formation and its interactions with the host under various pathological circumstances has seen considerable advancements in recent years, primarily due to the development of various genetic tools for DNA manipulation in this bacterium. Of these, counterselection-based unmarked in-frame mutation methods have proved notably effective.
