An Electrically Actuated Soft Artificial Muscle Based on a High-Performance Flexible Electrothermal Film and Liquid-Crystal Elastomer.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Liquid-crystal elastomer (LCE)-based soft robots and devices via an electrothermal effect under a low driving voltage have attracted a great deal of attention for their ability on generating larger stress, reversible deformation, and versatile actuat...

Label-free SERS detection of proteins based on machine learning classification of chemo-structural determinants.

The Analyst
Establishing standardized methods for a consistent analysis of spectral data remains a largely underexplored aspect in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), particularly applied to biological and biomedical research. Here we propose an effectiv...

Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation in a Neuromorphic Nanowire Network.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
A neuromorphic network composed of silver nanowires coated with TiO is found to show certain parallels with neural networks in nature such as biological brains. Owing to the memristive properties emerging at nanowire-to-nanowire contacts, where the A...

Performance Enhancement of Soft Nanotextured Thermopneumatic Actuator by Incorporating Silver Nanowires into Elastomer Body.

Soft robotics
To improve performance of thermopneumatic soft actuators, which have recently been developed for various industrial applications, we embedded different nanoscale materials into their elastomer bodies. This yields a significant enhancement in the actu...

ISFET and Dex-AgNPs based portable sensor for reusable and real-time determinations of concanavalin A and glucose on smartphone.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
In this paper, a portable real-time sensing device was built for Concanavalin A (Con A) and glucose detection using a smartphone. The ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) functioning at a low working point was selected as a small-size, low-p...

Deep Learning-Assisted Three-Dimensional Fluorescence Difference Spectroscopy for Identification and Semiquantification of Illicit Drugs in Biofluids.

Analytical chemistry
The fast identification and quantification of illicit drugs in biofluids are of great significance in clinical detection. However, existing drug detection strategies cannot fully meet clinical needs, and the on-site identification and quantification ...

Machine Learning Prediction of H Adsorption Energies on Ag Alloys.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Adsorption energies on surfaces are excellent descriptors of their chemical properties, including their catalytic performance. High-throughput adsorption energy predictions can therefore help accelerate first-principles catalyst design. To this end, ...

Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and antimetastatic activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Ficus ingens leaf.

Artificial cells, nanomedicine, and biotechnology
Cancer incidence is still increasing due to inadequate responsive treatments. Inertness and biocompatibility of nanoparticles synthesized using plant extracts have shown therapeutic applications and make it to be a good anti-cancer candidates. This s...

Influence of Nanosilver on Endothelial Function and Vascular Reactivity of Isolated Rabbit Carotid Artery.

Nigerian journal of physiological sciences : official publication of the Physiological Society of Nigeria
There is paucity of information on the effects and mechanism of action of Nanosilver on vascular tone andendothelial function in spite of the upsurge in nanotechnology application in biomedicine. The present study determined theeffect of Nanosilver o...

Synthesis of Ag/AgCl modified anhydrous basic bismuth nitrate from BiOCl and the antibacterial activity.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Novel nanocomposite of Ag/AgCl and a single phase of anhydrous basic bismuth nitrate (ABBN)-BiO(OH)(NO) with efficient antibacterial activity was prepared from BiOCl. Microstructure was characterized as AgCl nanotubes and Ag nanoparticles mixed with ...
