Article Abstract
Square-shaped or rectangular nanoparticles (NPs) of lanthanum oxide (LaO) were synthesized and layered by convective self-assembly to demonstrate an analog memristive device in this study. Along with non-volatile analog memory effect, selection diode property could be co-existent without any implementation of heterogeneous multiple stacks with ~1 μm thick LaO NPs layer. Current-voltage (I-V) behavior of the LaO NPs resistive switching (RS) device has shown an evolved current level with memristive behavior and additional rectification functionality with threshold voltage. The concurrent memristor and diode type selector characteristics were examined with electrical stimuli or spikes for the duration of 10-50 ms pulse biases. The pulsed spike increased current levels at a read voltage of +0.2 V sequentially along with ±7 V biases, which have emulated neuromorphic operation of long-term potentiation (LTP). This study can open a new application of rare-earth LaO NPs as a component of neuromorphic synaptic device.

This study presents a sensitive and facile strategy for dual modulation of the catalytic activity of nanozymes through surface ligand engineering and size effects. Four different capped polymers, including poly(vinyl acrylate) (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polystyrenesulfonate (PSS), and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), were used to synthesize Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) to reduce aggregation and improve their catalytic activity. Notably, PVA-modified Pt NPs exhibited up to 3.

The increase in Ti-containing nanoparticles (NPs) in the environment resulting from the anthropogenic water activities has raised health concerns in recent years. The aim of this study was to differentiate Ti-containing engineered NPs (ENPs) from natural Ti-containing NPs (NNPs) in water exposure through water activities. This was achieved by characterizing the temporal and spatial distributions of Ti-containing NPs in the three recreation waters in Eastern Taiwan, using the Ti/Y elemental ratio method and single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sp-ICPMS).

Ultrafine nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted extensive research interest, especially in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the inherent sintering propensity of NPs has been a major obstacle to their catalytic stability. Here we report an isolation strategy to preserve highly dispersed ultrafine NPs under extremely harsh conditions.

Pd-based nanocatalysts hold significant promise for application in alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). To address the challenges of low Pd atom utilization and poor reaction kinetics in conventional Pd-based catalysts, a self-etching strategy has been developed to synthesize PdPb nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable size and abundant tensile strain. The nanoparticles demonstrated a markedly enhanced electrocatalytic performance.

Article Synopsis
- Abnormal tau protein changes are linked to Alzheimer's disease and can be caused by harmful particles in the body known as reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- Hydrogen gas can help reduce these harmful particles, but current ways to use it aren't very effective.
- Scientists created special tiny machines that use light to produce hydrogen gas right where it's needed, which might help in treating Alzheimer's disease in the future.
