Realization of Graphene Quantum Dots for Innovative Biosensor Development and Diverse Applications
This paper investigates quantum dots (QDs), which are miniature semiconductor structures with remarkable optical and electrical properties due to quantum confinement processes. Traditional QDs, such as CdTe, have been extensively investigated; however, they frequently exhibit toxicity and stability issues. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are emerging as a safer and more stable alternative to traditional QDs. GQDs are honeycomb-lattice carbon atoms with unique electronic and optical properties that…

Harmonic functions for recurrent symmetric $α$-stable processeses with non-local perturbations
Let ${\mathbf M}$ be the recurrent symmetric (relativistic) $α$-stable process on ${\mathbb R}^d$. Let ${\mathcal H}^{μ+ F} (:= {\mathcal H} + μ+ F)$ be a Schrödinger type operator with local and non-local perturbations $μ$ and $F$. If $μ$ and $F$ satisfy suitable conditions associated with Kato class, we prove the existence of ground state for a Schrödinger type operator relating to ${\mathcal H}^{μ+ F}$. Furthermore, we prove the ground state becomes a probabilistically harmonic funct…

Unlocking Surfactant Synergies for Fluorine Replacements: A Microfluidic Exploration of Emulsion Stability and Coalescence Dynamics
Fluorinated surfactants are widely utilized in various applications, including firefighting foams, coatings, and lubricants. Their wide utility is due to their unique properties, such as their ability to effectively lower surface/interfacial tension. However, the excessive use of fluorinated surfactants has raised environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity. The need for effective and sustainable surfactant replacements has therefore beco…

Fine-Tuning Hydrophilic-Hydrophobic Balance in Stimuli-Responsive PEGPNIPAM Micelles for Controlled Drug Delivery
Temperature-responsive polymeric micelles have great potential in drug delivery, enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing systemic toxicity. This study investigates the self-assembly of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-PNIPAM) block copolymers as nanocarriers for Doxorubicin (DOX) using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations. We systematically examined the effects of polymer chain length and hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance on micelle formation, stabil…
