A morphological analysis of the liver of Wistar rats was performed 2 months after a single intravenous injection of porous silicon particles of different sizes (60-80, 250-300, and 500-600 nm; 2 mg/ml, 1 ml). Histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic methods showed the development of CD68 granulomas in all experimental groups. Injection of 60-80-nm porous silicon particles led to the formation of single large granulomas (>2000 μm), while 500-600-nm nanoparticles caused the formation of numerous smaller granulomas. The mechanism of involution of granulomas by apoptosis of Kupffer cells and the absence of subsequent connective tissue remodeling of the organ tissue is shown.

In this study, we investigate the electrodeposition of various metals on silicon. Mn, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Rh, and Pt were identified as promising candidates for controlled electrodeposition onto silicon. Electrochemical evaluations employing cyclic voltammetry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) associated with energy-dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques confirmed the deposition of Pd, Rh, and Pt as nanoparticles.

Environmental films form when airborne particles and molecular species adsorb on solid surfaces. Recent studies have characterized these films but overlook how collection methods and host-surface character (orientation, chemical functionality, or height) change the deposition process. In this work, environmental films are collected at a rural location on gold and silicon surfaces (water contact angles of ca.

Solid-state detectors with a low energy threshold have several applications, including searches of non-relativistic halo dark-matter particles with sub-GeV masses. When searching for relativistic, beyond-the-Standard-Model particles with enhanced cross sections for small energy transfers, a small detector with a low energy threshold may have better sensitivity than a larger detector with a higher energy threshold. In this paper, we calculate the low-energy ionization spectrum from high-velocity particles scattering in a dielectric material.

Due to the rapid increase in industrial and urban areas, environmental pollution is increasing worldwide, which is causing unwanted changes in air, water, and soil at biological, physical, as well as chemical levels that ultimately causing the negative effects in living things because of toxic level of chromium (Cr). However, nanotechnology is capturing great interest worldwide due to their stirring applications in various fields. For this purpose, a pot experiment was conducted to examine plant growth and exo-physiology in rice (Oryza sativa L.

Achieving precise and cost-effective etching in the field of silicon three-dimensional (3D) structure fabrication remains a significant challenge. Here, we present the successful fabrication of microscale anisotropic Si structures with an etching anisotropy of 0.73 using Cu-metal-assisted chemical etching (Cu-MACE) and propose a mechanism to elucidate the chemical behavior of Cu within the MACE solution.
