Enhanced Directional Light Extraction from Patterned Rare‐Earth Phosphor Films
The combination of light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and rare earth (RE) phosphors as color‐converting layers comprises the basis of solid‐state lighting. Indeed, most LED lamps include a photoluminescent coating made of phosphor material, i.e., crystalline matrix suitably...
Tuning the Topological Landscape of DNA-Cyclodextrin Nanocomplexes by Molecular Design
Original molecular vectors that ensure broad flexibility to tune the shape and surface properties of plasmid DNA (pDNA) condensates are reported herein. The prototypic design involves a cyclodextrin (CD) platform bearing a polycationic cluster at the primary face and...
The Inorganic Nutrient Regime and the mre Genes Regulate Cell and Filament Size and Morphology in the Phototrophic Multicellular Bacterium Anabaena
The model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 exhibits a phototrophic metabolism relying on oxygenic photosynthesis and a complex morphology. The organismic unit is a filament of communicated cells that may include cells specialized in different nutritional tasks,...
Hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin over noble metal catalyst supported on biochars: Part II: Catalytic behaviour
Vanillin hydrodeoxygenation was investigated using noble metal (Pd, Au, Ru) supported on active carbon prepared from waste derived biochars, which were produced via pyrolysis in CO2 atmosphere. Chemical activation with ZnCl2 and HNO3 was also used in the preparation...
