A rapid synthetic technique is investigated for magnetic nanoparticles (CoCuFeCeO (x = 0, y = 0), (x = 0.05, y = 0), (x = 0, y = 0.5), and (x = 0.05, y = 0.5)). The structure, morphology, optical and magnetic performance of prepared nanoparticles are analyzed by powder XRD, XPS, FT-IR, SEM-EDAX, TEM, DRS, and VSM. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanoparticles for the removal of the Congo red (CR) dye and bisphenol A (BPA) from aqueous solution is examined by UV-visible spectrometer. Research indicates that the co-doping of Cu and Ce showed marked effect on the structural, optical, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties of the CoFeO nanoparticles. DRS showed that the CoCuFeCeO nanoparticles have lower band gap energy (0.78 eV) than other synthesized compounds. High removal percentage of CR and BPA (99.09% and 99.33%) was observed within 30 min and 180 min under visible and UV-light illumination respectively using CoCuFeCeO. The corresponding photocatalytic degradation kinetics and mechanism are analyzed.

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with aggressive, treatment-resistant tumors posing significant challenges. Current combination therapies and imaging approaches often fail due to disparate pharmacokinetics and difficulties correlating drug delivery with therapeutic response. In this study, we developed radionuclide-activatable theranostic nanoparticles (NPs) comprising folate receptor-targeted bimetallic organo-nanoparticles (Gd-Ti-FA-TA NPs).

Background: The development of heat transfer devices used for heat conversion and recovery in several industrial and residential applications has long focused on improving heat transfer between two parallel plates. Numerous articles have examined the relevance of enhancing thermal performance for the system's performance and economics. Heat transport is improved by increasing the Reynolds number as the turbulent effects grow.

Optic nerve gliomas (ONG) are benign central nervous system tumours and the most common tumours of the optic nerve in children, often occurring before age 20. These tumours are slow-growing and can be treated with surgery and/or radiation therapy. Surgical resection is, however, associated with significant morbidity and loss of vision in the affected eye.

Compact high-bandwidth single-beam optically-pumped magnetometer for biomagnetic measurement.

Optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM) has been of increasing interest for biomagnetic measurements due to its low cost and portability compared with superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID). Miniaturized spin-exchange-relaxation-free (SERF) OPMs typically have limited bandwidth (less than a few hundred Hertz), making it difficult to measure high-frequency biomagnetic signals such as the magnetocardiography (MCG) signal of the mouse. Existing experiments mainly use SQUID systems to measure the signal.

Topological interface states (TISs), known for their distinctive capabilities in manipulating electromagnetic waves, have attracted significant interest. However, in conventional all-dielectric one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) heterostructures, TISs strongly depend on incident angle, which limits their practical applications. Here, we realize an angle-independent TIS in 1DPC heterostructures containing hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) for transverse magnetic polarized waves.
