Dark field transmission electron microscopy has been applied herein to visualize the interactions of inorganic nanomaterials with biological systems. This new application of a known technique addresses a deficiency in status quo visualization techniques. High resolution and low noise images can be acquired to locate and identify crystalline nanoparticles in complex biological matrices. Moreover, through the composition of multiple images taken at different angular beam tilts, it is possible to image a majority of nanoparticles present at a site in dark field mode. This facilitates clarity regarding the internalization of nanomaterials in cellular systems. In addition, comparing dark field images recorded at different angular tilts yields insight into the character of nanoparticle faceting.

Sesamol (SES) and linalool (LIN) are aromatic compounds that have neuroprotective effects. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anxiolytic activity of LIN and SES co-treatment on Swiss albino mice and analyze its possible mechanism through in silico study. In this sense, the mice were given the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABA) agonist diazepam (DZP; 3 mg/kg, p.

The growing demand for detection and sensing in the biomedical field is placing higher demands on technology. In clinical testing, it is expected to be able to realize both rapid large-field imaging and analysis of single particles (or single molecules or single cells), and it is expected to be able to grasp both the unique individuality of single particles in time and space during the complex reaction process, as well as the regular correlation between single particles in the same population distribution. Supported and promoted by the theory of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), dark-field microscopy, as a single-particle optical imaging technique with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, provides a powerful new means to address the above clinical detection needs.

2D photodetectors operating in photovoltaic mode exhibit a trade-off between response speed and photoresponsivity. This work presents a phototransistor based on SnS/ReSe heterojunction. Under negative bias, the energy band spike at the heterojunction interface impedes the carrier drifting so that the dark current is as low as 10 A.
