I am thrilled to announce that our latest research article is featured as the cover page of Advanced Photonics Research Vol. 5 No. 5 2024! 🎉 Our paper presents a revolutionary, yet straightforward and simple solution by using only one additional optical element, that boosts pulsed laser ablation in liquids (#PLAL) productivity by four-fold, marking a significant leap in #nanoparticle #synthesis #scalability. Our aim is to bring PLAL into the industry as a #green nanoparticle synthesis for #catalyst, especially for water-splitting application to accelerate green hydrogen production. Enormous thanks to my exceptional co-authors for their invaluable contributions to this work. #nanotechnology #greenhydrogen #watersplitting #research #paper #coverpage #AdvancedPhotonicsResearch Cover Page Abstract: In article number 2300290, Bilal Gökce and co-workers present a cost-effective solution that enhances pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) productivity four-fold compared to single-beam PLAL. The cover art showcases the proposed multi-beam method, illustrating the nanoparticle production rate increase while maintaining nanoparticle quality.

Exciting news! My former team (at Queen's U) of PhD students and PDFs, including Hriday Bhattacharjee, Dianne Lee, PhD, Cathleen Crudden, Zhe She and myself, have conducted recent research on using NHCs as tethers for Toll-like receptors on Au-based electrodes. This innovative work builds on previous research where thiol-based tethers were replaced with NHC-based tethers. Check out our latest research on nanotechnology and electronic characterization! #nanotechnology #research

We have recently celebrated a very special anniversary. A little over 20 years ago, Science magazine published a curious paper entitled: "Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films", authored, among others, by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. The two scientists went on to win a #Nobel Prize just 6 years later, awarded for "groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". Back then, the term #graphene, which is now ubitoqous, was not known and the whole world of opportunities offered by the completely new class of two-dimensional materials was just opening up. As the scientific world celebrates the beginning of graphene's third decade, we are working hard to turn its promise into reality. You can find that very first paper here: https://lnkd.in/dyFy-Y9B

It is my pleasure to share our recent research article titled "Inverse Opal Optical Tamm State for Sensing Applications" has been published in the Journal of Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications. In this work, we explore the excitation of optical Tamm states in inverse opal-based 3D photonic crystals, where the fabrication process avoids the use of corrosive chemicals. Upon infiltration of non-reactive solvents like methanol and ethanol into the IO, we observed a significant shift in the optical Tamm state, consistent with our simulations. These results highlight the potential of IO-based OTS as an effective sensing tool. This work would not have been possible without the guidance of my supervisors, Dr. Kapil Debnath and Dr. Shivakiran Bhaktha B.N., and the invaluable contributions of our collaborator, Dr. Andrea Chiappini.

**The Hidden World of Quasi-Crystals: A New Frontier in Material Science** Quasi-crystals, first discovered in 1982 by Dan Shechtman, challenge traditional notions of symmetry in materials science. Unlike regular crystals, which repeat patterns periodically, quasi-crystals exhibit a form of order that is non-repeating yet highly structured. This phenomenon allows for unique properties such as low thermal conductivity and high structural stability. Recent research reveals their potential applications in creating more efficient energy storage systems and advanced coatings. With ongoing studies exploring their role in biomaterials and photonics, quasi-crystals are positioning themselves as a groundbreaking component in the next generation of material science. #MaterialScience #QuasiCrystals #Innovation

In the latest paper published as a Front Cover story in Nanoscale Horizons, Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering (IOM) scientists demonstrate the first formation of stable, multistate switchable monolayers of polyoxometalates (POMs), which can be electronically triggered to higher charged states with increased conductance in the current–voltage profile at room temperature. The layers composed of lanthanide-phthalocyanine functionalized polyoxovanadates have been lithographically processed on Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) by the tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to machine patterns with diameters ranging from 30 to 150 nm2. The obtained results open up exciting opportunities for the future simulation and ultimate implementation of such POM-based hybrid organic–inorganic compounds as potential molecular memristors in energy-efficient in-memory computing technologies.
