AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
To obviate the use of radioactive materials, a simple unipolar electrical neutralizer based on a corona discharge was developed to neutralize electrospray aerosols used when coupling capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) to condensation nucleation light-scattering detection (CNLSD). The electrical neutralizer could be operated with either a positive or negative corona to generate ions to neutralize oppositely charged aerosols generated by electrospray and allow sensitive detection with CNLSD. The device could further be operated with organic solvents as well as aqueous buffer. The parameters affecting the corona discharge and neutralization process were studied and optimized. Compared to a CNLSD system using a radioactive neutralizer, the system with the electrical neutralizer showed higher signal and signal-to-noise ratio for test compounds, which indicated better neutralization efficiency of the charged aerosol. Highly reproducible results were obtained with the robust and durable electrical neutralizer with both CLC- and CE-electrospray-CNLSD systems.

The electrocatalytic synthesis of multicarbon compounds from CO is a promising method for storing renewable electricity and addressing global CO issues. Single-atom catalysts are promising candidates for CO reduction, but producing high-value multicarbon (C) products using a single-atom structure remains a significant challenge. In this study, a fluorine doping strategy is proposed to facilitate the reconstruction of isolated Cu atoms, promoting multicarbon generation.

Rapid and sensitive detection of virus-related antigens and antibodies is crucial for controlling sudden seasonal epidemics and monitoring neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination. However, conventional detection methods still face challenges related to compatibility with rapid, highly sensitive, and compact detection apparatus. In this work, we developed a Si nanowire (SiNW)-based field-effect biosensor by precisely controlling the process conditions to achieve the required electrical properties via complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible nanofabrication processes.

In this study an (AlGa)O barrier layer is inserted between β-GaO and GaN in a p-GaN/n-GaO diode photodetector, causing the dark current to decrease considerably, and device performance to improve significantly. The β-GaO/β-(AlGa)O/GaN n-type/Barrier/p-type photodetector achieves a photocurrent gain of 1246, responsivity of 237 A W, and specific detectivity of 5.23 × 10 cm Hz W under a bias of -20 V.

The charge state of a quantum point defect in a solid-state host strongly determines its optical and spin characteristics. Consequently, techniques for controlling the charge state are required to realize technologies for quantum networking and sensing. In this work, we demonstrate the use of deep-ultraviolet (DUV) radiation to dynamically neutralize nitrogen- (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers.

Inflammatory cytokines cooperate to maintain normal immune homeostasis, performing both a protective and a pro-inflammatory action in different body districts. However, their excessive persistence or deregulated expression may degenerate into tissue chronic inflammatory status. Advanced therapies should be designed to deploy selective cytokine neutralizers in the affected tissues.
