Article Abstract
A differential interference contrast microscopy technique that employs a photonic crystal fiber as a white-light source is used to measure both the real and the imaginary part of the complex dielectric constant of single 10 and 15 nm gold nanoparticles over a wavelength range of 480 to 610 nm. Noticeable deviations from bulk gold measurements are observed at short wavelengths and for individual particles even after taking into account finite-size surface damping effects.

The present research reports the synthesis of poly-[ethylene oxide]-based composite films (500 μm) containing metal nanoparticles (NPs) [Ag ( ∼ 6 nm), Cu ( ∼ 25 nm), and Fe ( ∼ 35 nm)] as the mobile phase. The novelty of the study is in the corroboration of a plausible mechanism for the generation of metal NPs through green synthesis using herbal extracts of (Tea) and (Neem). Density functional theory (DFT) is used to optimize the phytoreductants present in both biosources, wherein the reducing and/or stabilizing functional entities are primarily hydroxyl groups (-OH).

Arterial stiffening is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, particularly affecting organs with low vascular resistance, such as the brain and kidneys. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the clinical gold standard for arterial stiffness assessment; however, conventional equipment requires complex setups and trained operators, limiting real-world and point-of-care monitoring. Here, we introduce a tactile-transparent wearable (TTW) sensor that preserves physicians' tactile pulse palpation abilities while providing quantitative cardiovascular risk assessment by integrating flexible Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) electrodes and ultrathin graphene oxide dielectric films.

This paper reports the use of P18-8, a novel conjugated polymer combining poly-(1,4-phenylene-ethynylene) and poly-(1,4-phenylene-vinylene), in the fabrication of an organic diode with the structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P18-8/LiF/Al. The electrical properties of the fabricated device were characterized using impedance spectroscopy across a frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 MHz at various applied voltages. The current density-voltage (-) characteristic exhibited ohmic behavior at low applied voltages, while at higher voltages, it conformed to the space charge limited current (SCLC) theory.
