Published: December 2016

The comproportionation reaction between Mn and Mn sources in the presence of 3,3-dimethylacrylic acid and azides has led to a new {Mn} molecular cluster with a spherical structure and dimensions of ∼2.2 nm, comparable in size to the smallest classical and magnetic nanoparticles.

Background: Repetitive head impacts (RHI) from contact sports can lead to long-term white matter injury visualized on FLAIR scans as white matter hyperintensities (WMH). The goal of this study was to preliminarily characterize the unique pattern and features of WMH in middle aged- to older adults with remote history of exposure to RHI from contact sports.

Method: 76 participants (38 with substantial RHI, 38 with minimal or no RHI) from the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center had a FLAIR MRI during their annual study visit.

Supercarbon assembly inspired two-dimensional hourglass fermion.

By using a tight-binding model, first-principles calculations, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we theoretically demonstrate that the C76-Td-assembled two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattice is stable at room temperature and is resistant to mechanical deformation. We disclose that each C76-Td mimics a single carbon atom (geometrically and electronically); hence, it plays the role of one supercarbon. This inspires that the 2D material exhibits an exotic hourglass-like fermion at the Fermi level.

The ability to control the growth and orientation of neurites over long distances has significant implications for regenerative therapies and the development of physiologically relevant brain tissue models. In this study, the forces generated on magnetic nanoparticles internalised within intracellular endosomes are used to direct the orientation of neuronal outgrowth in cell cultures. Following differentiation, neurite orientation was observed after 3 days application of magnetic forces to human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells, and after 4 days application to rat cortical primary neurons.

Association between axial elongation and corneal topography in children undergoing orthokeratology with different back optic zone diameters.

Eye Vis (Lond)

January 2025

Contact Lens and Visual Optics Laboratory, Optometry and Vision Science, Centre for Vision and Eye Research, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.

Purpose: To explore the associations between myopia defocus dosage (MDD), aberration coefficients (primary spherical aberration and coma), and axial elongation in children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) with back optic zone diameters (BOZD) of 5 mm and 6 mm over 2 years.

Methods: Data from 80 participants from two ortho-k studies were analyzed: 22 and 58 children wore lenses with 5-mm and 6-mm BOZD, respectively. Four MDD metrics were calculated from corneal topography data over a 5-mm pupil for the 1-month and 24-month visits: the circumferential, flat, steep, and volumetric MDD.

High temperature QDs organization and re-crystallization in glass supported MgO QDs doped PMMA film.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Condensed Matter Physics & Nanoscience Research Laboratory, Department of Physics and Material Science, Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology, Gorakhpur, 273010, U.P, India.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating composite films of poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) blended with magnesium oxide quantum dots (MgO QDs) at varying concentrations, and the films were annealed at 130°C for different durations to observe changes in their properties.
  • Analysis revealed that the initial crystallinity of the PMMA films decreased with annealing but slightly improved with the diffusion and coalescence of MgO QDs, leading to the formation of larger clusters that influenced the films' structural properties.
  • The research highlights the significance of temperature and molecular forces in the evolution of the film's morphology and stability, demonstrating unique energy dissipation mechanisms and the complex interplay of inter- and intra
