Detecting small lung tumors in mouse models by refractive-index microradiology
Refractive-index (phase-contrast) radiology was able to detect lung tumors less than 1 mm in live mice. Significant micromorphology differences were observed in the microradiographs between normal, inflamed, a...

Branched silver nanowires on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass for simultaneous amperometric detection of H2O2 and of 4-aminothiophenol by SERS
This study introduces a two-step method for the deposition of branched silver nanowires (AgNWs) on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass. This material serves as both an active surface-enhanced Raman-scattering...

Gold-decorated magnetic nanoparticles modified with hairpin-shaped DNA for fluorometric discrimination of single-base mismatch DNA
The authors describe the use of gold-decorated magnetic nanoparticles (Au/MNPs) in discriminating DNA sequences with a single-base (guanine) mismatch. The Au/MNPs were characterized through dynamic light scatt...

Copper-induced synthesis of palladium/copper popcorn nanoparticles as sensors for differential pulse voltammetric determination of dopamine
Popcorn nanoparticles (pop-NPs) consisting of a Pd/Cu alloy were synthesized using a seed-mediated growth method. The Cu and Pd atoms were co-deposited on a cubic Pd seed to reduce the energy of fault stacking...
