Steering charge transfer in CuInS2/BiOCl composites to enable sunlight-driven C–F bond cleavage of PFAS in water - Nature Water
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) resist most remediation technologies because of their exceptionally inert carbon–fluorine bonds. Here we report a visible-light Z-scheme photocatalyst composed of CuInS2 quantum dots anchored on BiOCl nanoplates (CuInS2/BiOCl) that overcomes this barrier.
Visible Lithiation Gradients of Bulk MoS2 in Lithium-ion Coin Cells
Visible Lithiation Gradients of Bulk MoS2 in Lithium-ion Coin Cells Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is sought out to replace graphite as the negative electrode in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to the higher theoretical capacity of bulk MoS2 (670 mAh/g) and its natural abundance. However, upon deep discharge (0.01 V) MoS2 suffers from rapid loss of performance.

This essay was written by a student of SIG University as part of the program completion requirements. It reflects the insights and knowledge gained through the course curriculum and collaborative learning experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________ In today’s changing world of procurement, more and more organizations are realizing that the old ways—like doing annual or biannual competitive bidding—aren’t working anymore.
Intermediate-range solvent templating and counterion behaviour at charged carbon nanotube surfaces - Nature Nanotechnology
Abstract The ordering of ions and solvent molecules around nanostructures is of profound fundamental importance, from understanding biological processes to the manipulation of nanomaterials to optimizing electrochemical devices. Classical models commonly used to describe these systems treat the solvent simplistically, an approach that endures, in part, due to the extreme difficulty of attaining experimental measurements that challenge this approximation.
Microbubble Plasma Processing for N‐Fertigation via Plasma Catalysis
This study reports about using a non-thermal plasma to generate nitrate and NH3 in presence of water, in which these are immediately absorbed; creating a fertigation solution, termed in literature ‘plasma activated water (PAW)’. The N-content has been optimised by a process-parametric study, yielding the second-best result reported in literature and the best when concerning scale-up ability.

27 - Was A Sunny Day 28 - The writing's on the wall Living in the Sonoran Desert, just North of Phoenix, I could give you a million photos of sunny days. Since the title of the theme, "Was A Sunny Day", I chose to use a photo of a sunset that came at the end of a 116-degree, sunny day. Thankfully we are on the backside of a sunny day. 29 - Road Trip We chose to get out of the blistering heat and head to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Methods and Results: PAW was prepared by discharging atmospheric pressure cold plasma beneath the surface of sterile distilled water. The study investigated the inactivation of biofilm cells and biofilm matrix. A complete killing of biofilm cells was achieved on both of E.
Going Old School In My Photography
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see? An old gray haired man snapping pictures of me (photo by author) Earlier this month, my son and I took a 7 day cruise and added 4 days in Anchorage. For the vacation I took a Fuji X-S20, a Fuji X-H1, a 13mm 1.4, a 27mm 1.2, a 50mm 1.7 and a 100-400mm zoom lens. Over the course of that vacation I took more than 2,400 photos, along with a couple of hours of video. After returning home and parsing through my files, I processed and kept about 250 files.

23 - Crushed 24 - Ordinary World Glaciers move by internal deformation of the ice, and by sliding over the rocks and sediments at the base. They weight of the snow, firn, and ice, and the pressure exerted by upstream ice deforms glacier ice, in a phenomenon known as creep. This creep of the ice pulverizes the landscape, crushing it into powder that is picked up by the glacier. In the photo above of the Matanuska Glacier, you can see the crushed rock in the dark bands of the ice.

18 - Roots - Human, or not. 19 - Back in Time - Interpret that as you will Last year was a brutal year for heat in the Sonoran Desert. I have lived here for 20 years and have not seen as many cacti falling over due to heat stress. As I was walking the other day I came across this one, with nothing but the roots of the cactus showing. If I could do something, I would like to go back in time to certain events in our country's history.
Transcriptional Signatures Associated with the Survival of Escherichia coli Biofilm During Treatment with Plasma-Activated Water
Abstract Biofilm formation on surfaces, tools and equipment can damage their quality and lead to high repair or replacement costs. Plasma-activated water (PAW), a new technology, has shown promise in killing biofilm and non-biofilm bacteria due to its mix of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), and in particular superoxide. However, the specific genetic mechanisms behind PAWs effectiveness, especially against biofilms, are not yet fully understood.
52 Week Photography Project: April 2024 Edition
April is a month of many memories for me. April was the month I was first married in, and April was the month I was first widowed in. April was the month that my current wife and I first traveled outside the USA. Week 14 — This Country After a long period of time of caring for my dying wife, and watching her die on April 18th, this trip to Mexico was good for my soul. My current wife Jennifer and I packed some bags and headed South to Mexico for 4 days of no children, no work and no worries.

Week 5 — Letter Late than Never — get typographical My first wife died of metastatic breast cancer in 2016 at the age of 44. I was a 45 year old widower with a 10 year old son. With no expectations of what direction my life would go, I ended up meeting Jennifer who was a divorced mother of 3 girls. We first formed a great friendship and saw that friendship blossom into a great love story. On her engagement ring I had #guti inscribed on her ring.
CONSERVATION CORNER: All roads lead to Rome
District Engineer, BCCD Let’s talk about Rome. (Pull this one out at parties to impress your family and friends!) Roman concrete is world renowned for its strength and durability. People are often perplexed why the Romans could’ve built such durable structures that have last 2,000 years and we can only get a fraction of that. Scientists have spent decades trying to recreate the Romans’ formula for their concrete. So far, they have identified some key factors.
CONSERVATION CORNER: Is concrete greener on the other side?
I had pleasure to be able to sit in a statewide meeting for Conservation Engineers where we talked about several topics, one of them being a new type of concrete being seen throughout the state and country. Below are some summarizations of the meeting and the topic itself, as far my knowledge takes me. In the past year there has been a big change in the concrete world here in the US.

Week 1 — Everything Old Is New Again The Mission church of San Xavier del Bac dates back to the late 1700’s when construction began in 1783 and was completed in 1797. In 1963 the United States government named San Xavier del Bac as a National Historic Landmark. San Xavier is a parish church that serves the Tohono O’Odham nation in Tucson, Arizona. Restoration of the church began in 1999 and continues through today, hence the theme — Everything Old is New Again.

The objective of our research was to investigate the effect of ultrasound alone and in combination with the chemotherapeutic drugs such as doxorubicin (DOX) and temozolomide (TMZ) on human glioblastoma (GBM) and the human epidermoid carcinoma cancer 2D and 3D cell cultures.
Short Story Competition 2023 finalists: Patrick Cullen's The Point of the Afternoon
What happened was that as we left the beach, we found a wallet in the sand by the steps under the lifeguard's tower. There was no licence or other identification, so it could have been anyone's. But it was stuffed full of cash - about $500 - more money than any of us had ever laid eyes on, let alone held in our hands, so it definitely wasn't ours. With our boards slung over our backs, we headed straight down through the mall to Big Al's.

10 lessons that made me a better actor
Here we go, 10 lessons that made me a better actor – and hopefully they will work for you too! #1 Punctuation matters When I first went to acting school, I was a pretty cocky young actor. I thought I had an incredibly good understanding of the craft, I had done some professional work and figured I was pretty ahead of the pack. Well in the bastardised immortal words of Ygritte the wildling ‘You know nothing Pat Cullen.’ It turns out folks that punctuation really matters.
Production of phosphorene nanoribbons
Abstract Phosphorene is a mono-elemental, two-dimensional (2D) substance with outstanding, highly directional properties and a bandgap that depends on the number of layers of the material1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Nanoribbons, meanwhile, combine the flexibility and unidirectional properties of one-dimensional nanomaterials, the high surface area of 2D nanomaterials and the electron-confinement and edge effects of both.
Commentary: Thinned ranks of court officers leave courtrooms vulnerable
There is a crisis in our courts threatening the safety and security of judges, lawyers, court officers and the thousands of members of the public who use the courts every day — including prospective jurors, who would be less likely to want to do their civic duty if they knew how dangerous the state courts are. It has been a crisis in the making for at least a decade, perpetuated by staffing shortages, hiring freezes and misguided or hypocritical spending choices.
The Potential of Cold Plasma for Safe and Sustainable Food Production
3D communities of sessile microorganisms either in mono or mixed populations, which provide protection to microbial contaminants against antimicrobial or decontamination treatments. commonly referred to as the fourth state of matter, where increases in a material’s internal energy converts its state from solid to liquid to gas and ultimately to an ionized state of the gas, ‘plasma’, which exhibits unique properties.
