TL;DR: In this paper, the strategy for synthesizing fluorescent protein-gold nanoclusters and the characterization methods employed to study these systems are discussed, as well as the promising future for fluorescent protein and gold nanomaterials as long as research continues to uncover fundamental structure-property relation ships.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the theory and practice of using hair as a biopsy tissue for trace elements and discussed the pros and cons of this methodology and examined the past and present use of hair trace-element levels as indicators of nutritional status, disease, heavy-metal poisoning and environmental exposure.

TL;DR: Moore et al. as discussed by the authors found that Fe is among the most likely to have an appreciable atmospheric contribution to its supply to surface ocean waters, and that the atmospheric flux of this element in a leachable form supports the idea that this source is the main contributor to the requirements of the biota.

TL;DR: In this paper, element-specific X-ray spectroscopy results on the structure and bonding of Au24Pt, a thiolate-protected bimetallic nanocluster, were reported.

TL;DR: It was found that cyclohexanethiolate ligands are significantly perturbed by toluene solvent molecules, resulting in structural changes that cause disorder on the surface of Au18(SR)14 NCs, making the NCs desirable for biomedical applications due to the high stability and also offering a structural-based explanation for the enhanced photoluminescence often reported for glutathione-protected Au NCs.
