A Holistic Solution to Icing by Acoustic Waves: De-Icing, Active Anti-Icing, Sensing with Piezoelectric Crystals, and Synergy with Thin Film Passive Anti-Icing
Icing has become a hot topic both in academia and in the industry given its implications in transport, wind turbines, photovoltaics, and telecommunications. Recently proposed de-icing solutions involving the propagation of acoustic waves (AWs) at suitable substrates...
Nanoantennas Patterned by Colloidal Lithography for Enhanced Nanophosphor Light Emission
Los recubrimientos transparentes hechos de nanocristales dopados con tierras raras, también conocidos como nanofósforos, presentan una fotoluminiscencia altamente eficiente y una excelente estabilidad tanto térmica como óptica. Aquí, demostramos que un array de...
Outstanding MRI contrast with dysprosium phosphate nanoparticles of tuneable size
The use of high-field magnets for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is expected to experience the fastest growth rate during the present decade. Although several CAs for MRI scanners using high magnetic fields have been reported, they are mostly based on fluoride...
Carboxylate functionalized NaDy(MoO4)2 nanoparticles with tunable size and shape as high magnetic field MRI contrast agents
Uniform sodium-dysprosium double molybdate (NaDy(MoO4)2) nanoparticles having different morphologies (spheres and ellipsoids) and tunable size have been synthesized for the first time in literature. The procedure is based on a homogeneous precipitation process at...
