TL;DR: A practical use of dual-lanthanide-chelated silica nanoparticles was evaluated in a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay of human hepatitis B surface antigen, showing much increased sensitivity and quantification ranges than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, demonstrating the suitability and advantages of these nanoparticles for bioassays.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for accurately predicting adsorption energies on transition-metal surfaces based on DFT calculations, using an adaptively weighted sum of energies from RPBE and optB86b-vdW (or optB88-vdw) density functionals.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of substrate bias voltage on plasma discharge characterization of high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS)-deposited TiAlSiN nanocomposite coatings was studied.

TL;DR: The strained Pd icosahedra were applied to immunoassay of biomarkers, outperforming both unstrained Pd octahedra and natural peroxidases and may serve as a strong foundation to guide the design of high-performance nanozymes.

TL;DR: DFT calculations indicate that the intrinsic activity of Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Ir, and Ru for the oxygen reduction reaction by Li forms a volcano-like trend with respect to the adsorption energy of oxygen, with Pt and Pd being the most active.
