Article Abstract

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) greatly facilitate capturing the ultrastructure of spatially and/or temporally rare events. Here, we present a protocol for targeting regions of interests (ROIs) in tissue endothelial cells (ECs) using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT). We describe steps for ROI targeting guided by vasculature patterns and positions of EC nuclei visualized by light and X-ray microscopy. The protocol is applicable to thin or translucent tissues that contain defined landmarks visible in both light and X-ray microscopy. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Reglero-Real et al..

Role of Liquid Composition in the Transient Liquid Assisted Growth of Superconducting YBaCuO Films.

Adv Mater

September 2025

Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona, ICMAB-CSIC, Campus de la UAB, Bellaterra, Catalonia, 08193, Spain.

The unparalleled loss-less electrical current conduction of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials encourages research on YBaCuO (YBCO) to unravel opportunities toward numerous applications. Nonetheless, production costs and throughput of the commercialized HTS Coated Conductors (CCs) are still limiting a worldwide spread. Transient liquid assisted growth (TLAG) is a non-equilibrium process displaying ultrafast growth rate which, when combined with chemical solution deposition (CSD), is emerging as a strong candidate to reduce the cost/performance ratio of YBCO superconductors.

This study comprehensively analyses two new ruthenium(III) complexes, [RuCl(Nic)][(CH)NH]DMF, 1, and [RuCl(3-HPA)][3-HHPA](EtOH), 2, (where Nic = nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), 3-HPA = anion of a 3-hydroxypicolinic acid), as potential antimicrobial agents, highlighting their physicochemical properties, nanoparticle formation, and cytotoxic activity. The complexes were fully characterised by a single crystal X-ray diffraction technique, Fourier-transform infrared, energy-dispersive X-ray, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. The synthesis of micro- and nanoparticles (NPs) of these complexes was performed using the liquid anti-solvent crystallisation method.

The Role of Operating Temperature on Pore-Scale Gas Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrolyzers.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

Bazylak Group, Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, 5 King's College Road, Toronto, ON, M5S 3G8, Canada.

In this study, the effects of operating temperature on pore-scale gas bubble transport in a carbon-based anode porous transport layer (PTL) of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is revealed using operando X-ray computed tomography (CT). Higher temperature operation (80 °C compared to 40 °C) led to a lower total gas bubble volume fraction in the PTL (0.25 to 0.
