3D Printed Iron Pyrite via Meniscus Confinement: A Promising Material for Photovoltaic Solar Cells.

The meniscus-confined electrochemical 3D printing (MC-E3DP) process has emerged as a novel approach for fabricating sub-micron complex structures through localized electrochemical deposition from salt solutions of desired materials. This study reports, for the first time, the MC-E3DP fabrication of iron oxide (FeO) thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates. The FeO films are characterized using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-vis pectroscopy, confirming phase purity.

Engineering the Hot-Spots in Au-Ag Alloy Nanoparticles through Meniscus-Confined 3D Printing for Microplastic Detection.

The escalating concern surrounding microplastic (MP) pollution necessitates urgent attention and the development of rapid techniques for quantifying extremely low concentrations. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a promising method due to its simplicity, high sensitivity, and rapid quantification capabilities. Herein, the efficacy of gold-silver alloy nanoparticles (3DPAu-Ag) substrates for detecting poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) MPs is investigated.

Solanum tuberosum tuber-driven starch-mediated green-hydrothermal synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles for efficient photocatalysis and antimicrobial activities.

In this study, we are reporting for the first time the utilization of Solanum tuberosum tuber-driven, starch-mediated, green-hydrothermally synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (G-CeO NPs) for the antibacterial activity and photodegradation of cationic (methylene blue, MB) and anionic (methyl orange, MO) dyes separately and in combination, aimed at environmental remediation. The XRD analysis confirms the fluorite structure of G-CeO NPs, displaying an average crystallite size of 9.6 nm.

Dental Perspective of Rare Disease of Fanconi Anemia: Case Report with Review.

Fanconi anemia is an extremely rare genetic disease characterized by chromosomal instability that induces congenital alterations in individuals. It causes defective hemopoiesis ultimately leading to bone marrow failure. Patients are susceptible to recurrent infections and increased risk of hemorrhage, as well as delayed and poor wound healing.
