Photoluminescence (PL) spectra from diamond nanoparticles containing negative nitrogen vacancy centers were measured by using a single multimode fiber endoscope combined with a high-sensitivity spectroscopy system. A laser light spot was produced at the distal end of the endoscope and the PL spectra from a temperature-controlled ensemble of diamond nanoparticles were measured. After calibrating the sensitivity and wavelength of the spectroscopy system, the temperature dependence of the zero-phonon line peak wavelength similar to those previously reported was obtained.

Naegleria fowleri, is the causative agent of Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), a lethal acute brain inflammation with high mortality. The virulent and reproductively active trophozoite stage of N. fowleri migrates to central nervous system (CNS) by entering through nasal passage and causes severe neural infection, brain disease and inflammation with high mortality.

A green chemical shear-thickening polishing (GC-STP) method was studied to improve the surface precision and processing efficiency of monocrystalline silicon. A novel green shear-thickening polishing slurry composed of silica nanoparticles, alumina abrasive, sorbitol, plant ash, polyethylene glycol, and deionized water was formulated. The monocrystalline silicon was roughly ground using a diamond polishing slurry and then the GC-STP process.

An attenuation of visible probe radiation identified in earlier absorption studies of microwave plasma-activated CH/H/Ar gas mixtures is shown to arise from nanoparticles in under-pumped regions on opposing sides of a reactor used for diamond chemical vapor deposition. The present modeling studies highlight (i) ejection of Si-containing species into the gas phase by reactive radical etching of the quartz window through which the microwave radiation enters the reactor, enabled by suitably high window temperatures () and the synergistic action of near-window H atoms and CH radicals; (ii) subsequent processing of the ejected material, some of which are transported to and accumulate in stagnation regions in the entrance to the reactor side arms; and (iii) the importance of Si in facilitating homogeneous gas phase nucleation, clustering, and nanoparticle growth in these regions. The observed attenuation, its probe wavelength dependence, and its variations with changes in process conditions can all be rationalized by a combination of absorption and scattering contributions from Si/C/H containing nanoparticles with diameters in the range of 50-100 nm.

Upon exposure to biological environments, nanoparticles are rapidly coated with biomolecules, predominantly proteins, which alter their colloidal stability, biodistribution, and cell interactions. Despite extensive efforts to investigate the nanoparticles' fate, only a few studies use high-resolution characterization methods that allow in-depth characterization, and the existing methodologies are unable to differentiate particles internalized at the onset of incubation from those taken up toward the end of an incubation period. In this study, these limitations related to incubation disparities are overcame and precisely monitored the spatiotemporal displacement of colloidally stable protein corona-coated nanoparticles within cells.
