AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how laser alloying affects cobalt (Co) nanorods and aluminum (Al) nanoparticles mixed in liquid ethanol.
- After laser exposure, Co nanorods change shape into Co nanospheres that are coated with Al, altering their initial structure.
- The research also explores how the size of these nanoparticles evolves over time, finding an optimal laser exposure time that leads to the largest average size of the particles.
Article Abstract
Experimental results are presented on laser alloying of Co nanorods with Al spherical nanoparticles by laser exposure of their mixture in liquid ethanol. It is demonstrated that the initial morphology of the nanoparticles is modified upon laser exposure. The Co nanorods are transformed into Co nanospheres covered by a layer of Al. The evolution of the size distribution is studied as a function of the time of laser exposure. The average size of the nanoparticles has a maximum level with a corresponding optimal irradiation time. The results are discussed from the viewpoint of the interaction of molten nanoparticles inside a cavitation bubble filled with a liquid vapor.

Background: Due to their acidic nature, certain medications can have deleterious effects on tooth enamel. Fluoride is a popular method for reversing these effects. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of acidic medications, specifically anti-asthmatic drugs and vitamin C tablets, on enamel surfaces and to investigate the effects of fluoride following drug exposure.

The paper presents the results of modern research on the effects of electromagnetic terahertz radiation in the frequency range 0.5-100 THz at different levels of power density and exposure time on the viability of normal and cancer cells. As an accompanying tool for monitoring the effect of radiation on biological cells and tissues, spectroscopic research methods in the terahertz frequency range are described, and attention is focused on the possibility of using the spectra of interstitial water as a marker of pathological processes.

Controlled breakdown has emerged as an effective method for fabricating solid-state nanopores in thin suspended dielectric membranes for various biomolecular sensing applications. On an unpatterned membrane, the site of nanopore formation by controlled breakdown is random. Nanopore formation on a specific site on the membrane has previously been realized using local thinning of the membrane by lithographic processes or laser-assisted photothermal etching under immersion in an aqueous salt solution.

Antibodies to β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) cause thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome, however the role of β2GPI in coagulation in vivo is not understood. To address this issue, we developed β2GPI-deficient mice (Apoh-/-) by deleting exon 2 and 3 of Apoh using CRISPR/Cas9 and compared the development of thrombosis in wild-type (WT) and Apoh-/- mice using rose bengal and FeCl3-induced carotid thrombosis, laser-induced cremaster arteriolar injury, and inferior vena cava (IVC) stasis models. We also compared tail bleeding times and activation of platelets from WT and Apoh-/- mice in the absence and presence of β2GPI.

This study presents a novel optoporation technique using a titanium-coated TiO microstructure (TMS) device activated by an infrared diode laser for highly efficient intracellular delivery. The TMS device, fabricated with 120 nm titanium coating on a titanium dioxide (TiO) microstructure containing microneedles (height ∼2 μm and width ∼4.5 μm), demonstrates enhanced biocompatibility and thermal conductivity compared to the conventional TiO microstructure (MS).
