The thickness of alcohol based monolayers on silicon oxide surfaces were investigated using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS). Advantages of using alcohols as building blocks…

A simple surfactant assisted solution-phase approach is demonstrated here for the preparation of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) nanoparticles with an average size of 30 nm. This solution-phase process…

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) serve a critical function in many devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). To optimize the performances of these…

This study investigated the effects of the neonicotinoid insecticide clothianidin on hepatic gene expression in juvenile sockeye salmon. Four genetically distinct pairs of wild sockeye salmon were…

The natural ability of geckos and spiders to climb almost all surfaces using the compliant, nano‐structured components on their feet provides motivation for making bio‐inspired adhesives. The goal of…

Degraded peatlands release 100-200 g-CO2 eqv. m-2 yr-1 in net emissions and account for more than 10% of global CO2 emissions. The success of bog restoration is dependent on creating suitable…
