AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The temperature dependence of electrical transport properties was investigated for multilayered MoS2 field effect transistor devices with thicknesses of 3-22 nm. Some devices showed typical n-type semiconducting behavior, while others exhibited metal-insulator crossover (MIC) from metallic to insulating conduction at finite temperatures. The latter effect occurred near zero gate voltage or at high positive gate voltages. Analysis of Raman spectroscopy revealed the key difference that devices with MIC have a metallic 1T phase as well as a semiconducting 2H phase, whereas devices without the MIC did not have a metallic 1T phase. These results suggest that the metallic 1T phase may contribute to inducing the MIC.

The rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in underscores the urgent need for alternative treatments. This study evaluated the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of four metal ions (cobalt, copper, silver, and zinc) and colloidal silver against 15 clinical isolates, alongside conventional antimicrobials (florfenicol, tetracycline, tulathromycin, and tylosin). Colloidal silver demonstrated the most effective antimicrobial activity, inhibiting 81.

Multidrug-resistant infections pose a critical challenge to healthcare systems, particularly in nosocomial settings. This drug-resistant bacterium forms biofilms and produces an array of virulent factors regulated by quorum sensing. In this study, metal-tolerant bacteria were isolated from a metal-contaminated site and screened for their ability to synthesize multifunctional nanocomposites (NCs).

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health threat, driving the search for alternative treatments to conventional antibiotics. In this study, the antibacterial properties of honeybee venom (BV) and fungal red dye (RD) were evaluated against three multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Extracts of BV and RD exhibited dose-dependent antibacterial activity against the three tested bacteria, with their strongest effectiveness against (minimum inhibitory concentrations [MIC] = 3.

Fungal infections caused by yeast have increased in recent decades, becoming a major threat to public health. Antifungal therapy represents a challenging problem because, in addition to presenting many side effects, fungal resistance has been increasing in recent years. As a result, the search for new therapeutic agents has advanced with the use of new technologies such as nanoparticles (NPs).

Background: Recent advances in nanomedicine have derived novel prospects for development of various bioactive nanoparticles and nanocomposites with significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. This study aims to investigate some characteristics of the novel Se-NPs/CuO nanocomposite such as morphological, physicochemical, and optical properties, as well as to assess the antibacterial activity of this fabricated composite in different concentrations against some MDR Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical bacterial isolates.
Methods: The Se-NPs/CuO nanocomposite was fabricated using the chemical deposition method.
