Sixty-two human teeth, obtained from subjects aged 11 to 80 years, were used to determine the magnesium and fluoride concentration and distribution with age in human cementum. Transverse sections were prepared from the root region of teeth. Samples, each 30 microm thick, were abraded in sequence from the cementum surface and the cemento-dentine junction by an abrasive micro-sampling technique. Magnesium concentrations were lower in the cementum surface, and increased towards the cemento-dentine junction (CDJ), while fluoride concentrations were higher in cementum surfaces and tended to decrease towards CDJ. Fluoride distribution patterns were similar to that reported earlier while average fluoride concentration increased with age, however, either no change or decreasing tendencies were observed with magnesium.

Biomarker detection has emerged as an essential complementary approach for early-stage screening of tumors. Conventional methods are constrained by bulky systems, cumbersome operation steps, and low detection accuracy. Here, we demonstrate a dual-resonance optimally configured lossy mode resonance (LMR) immunoprobe for detecting prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a biomarker for prostate cancer (PCa).

In this study, we investigate an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterial composed of silver (Ag) and magnesium fluoride (MgF), which demonstrates a low conversion threshold, strong nonlinear response, and nonlinear absorption conversion. Particularly noteworthy is its highest nonlinear absorption (β≈-2 × 10cm/GW) occurring at the ENZ point (695 nm) under deposited condition.

The demand for increasingly fine detail in optical lithography for semiconductors necessitates the use of lower-wavelength lithographic light. This drives the need for lenses in optical lithography steppers made of vacuum ultraviolet-transparent (VUV-transparent) materials. In this work, the density functional theory (DFT) study of potassium magnesium fluoride KMgF is presented.

Article Synopsis
- Silver mirrors are commonly used in telescopes for their high sensitivity but are prone to damage from sulfurization and oxidation without protective coatings.
- This study focused on finding dielectric materials that adhere well to silver, with various coatings applied via electron gun evaporation at low temperatures.
- Results showed that aluminum oxide (AlO) and magnesium fluoride (MgF) had excellent adhesion to silver, and these multilayer coatings improved the reflectance of silver in the visible light spectrum.

Enzymes facilitating the transfer of phosphate groups constitute the most extensive protein families across all kingdoms of life. They make up approximately 10% of the proteins found in the human genome. Understanding the mechanisms by which enzymes catalyze these reactions is essential in characterizing the processes they regulate.
