Energy transport theories are being revisited at the nanoscale, as macroscopic laws known for a century are broken at dimensions smaller than those associated with energy carriers. For thermal radiation, where the typical dimension is provided by Wien's wavelength, Planck's law and associated concepts describing surface-to-surface radiative transfer have to be replaced by a full electromagnetic framework capturing near-field radiative heat transfer (photon tunnelling between close bodies), interference effects and sub-wavelength thermal emission (emitting body of small size). It is only during the last decade that nanotechnology has allowed for many experimental verifications - with a recent boom - of the large increase of radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale. In this minireview, we highlight the parameter space that has been investigated until now, showing that it is limited in terms of inter-body distance, temperature and object size, and provide clues about possible thermal-energy harvesting, sensing and management applications. We also provide an outlook on open topics, underlining some difficulties in applying single-wavelength approaches to broadband thermal emitters while acknowledging the promise of thermal nanophotonics and observing that molecular/chemical viewpoints have been hardly addressed.Selective 1D TOCSY is a powerful tool in the assignment of NMR spectra of organic molecules. Here an order of magnitude improvement in selectivity, allowing overlapping multiplets to be excited separately, is achieved in a single scan using the very recent GEMSTONE method. The new experiment is illustrated using an antibiotic and a mixture of diastereomers.Three new NiII/ZnII heterometallics, [NiZnL'2(OMe)Cl]2 (1), [NiZnL''(Dea)Cl]2·2DMF (2) and [Ni2(H3L''')2(o-Van)(MeOH)2]Cl·[ZnCl2(H4L''')(MeOH)]·2MeOH (3), containing three-dentate Schiff bases as well as methanol or diethanolamine (H2Dea) or o-vanillin (o-VanH), all deprotonated, as bridging ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. The Schiff base ligands were produced in situ from o-VanH and CH3NH2 (HL'), or NH2OH (HL"), or 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol (H4L'''); a zerovalent metal (Ni and Zn in 1, Zn only in 2 and 3) was employed as a source of metal ions. The first two complexes are dimers with a Ni2Zn2O6 central core, while the third compound is a novel heterometallic cocrystal salt solvate built of a neutral zwitterionic ZnII Schiff base complex and of ionic salt containing dinuclear NiII complex cations. The crystal structures contain either centrosymmetric (1 and 2) or non-symmetric di-nickel fragment (3) with NiNi distances in the range 3.146-3.33 Å. The exchange coupling is antiferromagnetic for 1, J = 7.7 cm-1, and ferromagnetic for 2, J = -6.5 cm-1 (using the exchange Hamiltonian in a form Ĥ = Jŝ1ŝ2). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/4-hydroxytamoxifen-4-ht-afimoxifene.html The exchange interactions in 1 and 2 are comparable to the zero-field splitting (ZFS). High-field EPR revealed moderate magnetic anisotropy of opposite signs D = 2.27 cm-1, E = 0.243 cm-1 (1) and D = -4.491 cm-1, E = -0.684 cm-1 (2). Compound 3 stands alone with very weak ferromagnetism (J = -0.6 cm-1) and much stronger magnetic anisotropy with D = -11.398 cm-1 and E = -1.151 cm-1. Attempts to calculate theoretically the exchange coupling (using the DFT "broken symmetry" method) and ZFS parameters (with the ab initio CASSCF method) were successful in predicting the trends of J and D among the three complexes, while the quantitative results were less good for 1 and 3.A novel enhanced chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) for ultrasensitive and excellent precisive determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was reported. The method made full use of poly[(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-co-(methacrylic acid)] (P(NIPAM-co-MAA)) microspheres as new potential signal enhancers and magnetic fluorescent nanoparticles as internal standards for better precision. This protocol involved a sandwich format, in which the antigen in the sample was captured by the immobilized antibodies on the surface of magnetic fluorescent beads and recognized by the other antibodies labeled with acridinium ester (AE)-loaded P(NIPAM-co-MAA) microspheres. The combination of the remarkable sensitivity of the enhanced CLIA method and the use of P(NIPAM-co-MAA) microspheres as anti-cTnI carriers for acridinium ester signal amplification provided an extremely sensitive limit of blank (LoB) at 0.097 pg mL-1, a limit of detection (LoD) at 0.116 pg mL-1, and a limit of quantitation (LoQ) at 0.606 pg mL-1, much greater than those achieved by the classical chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA, Getein). Moreover, the intra-day variable coefficient can be improved to 1.21-2.12%, and inter-day variability was 2.01-3.49% under the application of magnetic fluorescent beads as an internal standard. The sensitivity and precision have reached a high level, comparable with the current commercial detection kits. The results showed a good correlation with a commercial chemiluminescence assay (CLIA, Abbott), with a correlation coefficient of 0.9883. This proposed method has been successfully applied to the clinical determination of cTnI in the human serum.Correction for 'Mirror twin boundaries in MoSe2 monolayers as one dimensional nanotemplates for selective water adsorption' by Jingfeng Li et al., Nanoscale, 2021, 13, 1038-1047, DOI 10.1039/D0NR08345C.Proton transfer along the hydrogen bonds of DNA can lead to the creation of short-lived, but biologically relevant point mutations that can further lead to gene mutation and, potentially, cancer. In this work, the energy landscape of the canonical A-T and G-C base pairs (standard, amino-keto) to tautomeric A*-T* and G*-C* (non-standard, imino-enol) Watson-Crick DNA base pairs is modelled with density functional theory and machine-learning nudge-elastic band methods. We calculate the energy barriers and tunnelling rates of hydrogen transfer between and within each base monomer (A, T, G and C). We show that the role of tunnelling in A-T tautomerisation is statistically unlikely due to the presence of a small reverse reaction barrier. On the contrary, the thermal populations of the G*-C* point mutation could be non-trivial and propagate through the replisome. For the direct intramolecular transfer, the reaction is hindered by a substantial energy barrier. However, our calculations indicate that tautomeric bases in their monomeric form have remarkably long lifetimes.
