Prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis method (PGNAA) was used to measure the talc content in flour. Neutron activation prompt gamma spectrum measured by NaI(Tl) detector has complex components, poor energy resolution, and high Compton plateau, how to obtain accurate element content from the prompt γ spectrum is one of the core problems of PGNAA. To reduce the systematic uncertainty caused by the variation of the neutron energy spectrum and γ self-absorption in different samples, the spectral decomposition method based on library least-squares was improved. As a result, the average relative deviation between the calculated values from measured spectra and the theoretical values based on the known composition was reduced from 6.1% to 0.3%. The relative uncertainty of 30 measurements on the same sample was reduced from 4.8% to 3.0%. The detection time can be reduced to 1 min, which meets the requirement of on-line measurement for talc in flour.

The efficient removal of CO from exhaust streams and even directly from air is necessary to forestall climate change, lending urgency to the search for new materials that can rapidly capture CO at high capacity. The recent discovery that diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks can exhibit cooperative CO uptake via the formation of ammonium carbamate chains begs the question of whether simple organic polyamine molecules could be designed to achieve a similar switch-like behavior with even higher separation capacities. Here, we present a solid molecular triamine, 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene (TriH), that rapidly captures large quantities of CO upon exposure to humid air to form the porous, crystalline, ammonium carbamate network solid TriH(CO)·HO (TriHCO).

As a classical low-cost technique, dip coating has not been used for printable electronics. Here, the study demonstrates large-area organic solar cells can be made by dip coating. The correlation is revealed among Van der Waals forces in precursor film, aggregation state of polymer, and fibrous orientation in active layer; the relationship is also expounded between fluid mechanics of the confined liquid in polymer scaffold and the continuity of the acceptor phase.

Radiotherapy (RT) effectiveness is limited by low DNA damage in tumor cells, surrounding tissue harm, and tumor radioresistance with active DNA repair. Herein, we have engineered a two-dimensional nanomaterial consisting of MXene nanosheets at its core, coated with gold nanorods and a cisplatin shell, and further modified with polyvinyl alcohol, referred to as APMP. The APMP exploits its distinctive electronic properties and photothermal effects to augment radiosensitivity and impede DNA damage repair mechanisms.

We report that self-supporting mesoporous platinum 3D nanowires with a single diamond (SD) morphology and a high specific surface area of 40.4 m g demonstrated enhanced stability toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). These were found to be superior to commercially available carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/C).

Aquaglyceroporins are channels that facilitate the flux of glycerol and water across lipid bilayers. Although structural information is available for several aquaglyceroporins, the details of how water and glycerol selectivity are maintained and how protons are excluded remain elusive. An approach to obtaining data on the hydrogen atom positions is to apply neutron macromolecular crystallography.
