Synthetic cannabinoids, a class of new psychoactive substances, have emerged as a significant public health and social stability threat due to their structural diversity, rapid iteration, and stronger ...

Plastic pollution is a significant environmental issue, with microplastics (particles <5 mm) being particularly challenging to detect and quantify due to their small size. This study shows preliminary ...

New research into the anatomy of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) reveals a unique nanostructure in their skin that produces ...

Introduction The global microplastic detection market is witnessing significant expansion, propelled by increasing environmental concerns, rig ...

The obtained spectra by the novel solid-state NMR method achieved high signal intensity and good resolution in the indirect dimension, allowing for precise identification of various functional ...

Raman spectroscopy is a widely used method to investigate chemical molecules by analyzing their vibrational transitions. It utilizes inelastic scattering of the laser light irradiating the ...

Natural cement found in industrial waste reacts with ocean water to form rocks in just 35 years, instead of millions.

Carbon nanobuds (CNBs) represent an emerging nanostructure, in which fullerene molecules are covalently bonded to the outer surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The Raman spectra of CNBs ...

Those who were pushing the bill claim it will be a step toward addressing New York’s role in out-of-control plastic use.

Two new Raman modes below 100 cm–1 are observed in twisted bilayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition. The two modes are observed in a small range of twisting angle at which the intensity of ...
