We report on the optical trapping characteristics of InP nanowires with dimensions of 30 (±6) nm in diameter and 2-15 μm in length. We describe a method for calibrating the absolute position of individual nanowires relative to the trapping center using synchronous high-speed position sensing and acousto-optic beam switching. Through brownian dynamics we investigate effects of the laser power and polarization on trap stability, as well as length dependence and the effect of simultaneous trapping multiple nanowires.

Semiconductor nanowires have become emerging photocatalysts in artificial photosynthesis processes for solar fuel production. For reduction reactions, semiconductor photocatalysts with high reducing powers are highly desirable, especially for chemicals that are extremely difficult to reduce. This study introduces a new semiconductor photocatalyst, scandium (Sc)-III-nitrides, which have higher reducing powers than all conventional semiconductor photocatalysts.

Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with their excellent optical and semiconductor properties have emerged as primary candidates for optoelectronic applications. While extensive research has been conducted on the 3D perovskite phase, the zero-dimensional (0D) form of this promising material in the NC format remains elusive. In this paper, a new synthesis strategy is proposed.

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare disorder resulting from a genetic mutation characterized by the accumulation of sphingolipids in various cells throughout the human body, leading to progressive and irreversible organ damage, particularly in males. Genetically-determined deficiency or reduced activity of the enzyme (alpha - Galactosidase; α-Gal) leads to the accumulation of sphingolipids in the lysosomes of various cell types, including the heart, kidneys, skin, eyes, central nervous system, and digestive system, triggering damage, leading to the failure of vital organs, and resulting in progressive disability and premature death. FD diagnostics currently depend on costly and time-intensive genetic tests and enzymatic analysis, often leading to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses, which contribute to rapid disease progression.

Boehmite nanoparticles and NaY nanozeolite were synthesized by co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods, respectively, and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA, BET, and SEM techniques. XRD and BET analyses demonstrated the formation of boehmite nanoparticles with a surface area of 350 m/g and high crystallinity NaY nanozeolite with a surface area of 957 m/g. In order to evaluate the effect of the content of the mesoporous boehmite nanoparticles on the catalytic performance of the Residue Fluid Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) catalyst, alumina active matrix-based and silica inactive matrix-based catalysts were prepared.

Atom probe tomography (APT) enables three-dimensional chemical mapping with near-atomic scale resolution. However, this method requires precise sample preparation, which is typically achieved using a focused ion beam (FIB) microscope. As the ion beam induces some degree of damage to the sample, it is necessary to apply a protective layer over the region of interest (ROI).
