Coupling electric and magnetic dipoles in Janus nanoplatelets via surface-selective hybridization

Coupling electric and magnetic dipoles within nanoscale building blocks offers a promising strategy for creating hybrid materials with coupled magnetic and electric functionality. Here, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept approach for realizing this concept in Janus nanoparticles t...

Growth of NanotubularFlowers Using Environment-FriendlyElectrolytes and their Biomedical Applications

Abstract Plasma-induced electrochemical anodization (PA) is introduced as an alternative strategy for fabricating titanium oxide nanostructures using environmentally benign, chloride-based electrolytes. Unlike conventional anodization methods that rely on metallic cathodes and fl...

In Vitro Evaluationof Silica-Coated Bi2Se3 Nanoplatelets as PhotothermalNanomaterials

Abstract Silica-coated Bi2Se3 nanoplatelets were evaluated in vitro for their photothermal properties and biological response as a more biocompatible alternative to previously reported glycol-coated Bi2Se3 systems. The assessment was performed using HeLa cells under 808 nm laser...

Application of the Hirshfeld Atom Refinement to Determine the Spin State of the Novel Fe(III) Schiff Base Complex

The novel complex [FeIII(HL)(L)]·2dmf (1) was successfully synthesized by reacting iron chloride with dimethylformamide solution of the Schiff base ligand (H2L). The ligand was prepared in situ through the condensation of 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde and benzhydrazide. The compound 1...

Swarm Intelligence-Guided Hybrid Transfer Learning for Gastrointestinal Polyp Classification

Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with automated polyp classification from endoscopic images offering a promising avenue for improving early detection. Existing approaches rely on single convolutional neural network (CNN) backbones w...
