We describe a blue/green inorganic material, Ba-3(P1-x-MnxO4)(2) (I) based on tetrahedral MnO43-:3d(2) chromophore. The solid solutions (I) which are sky-blue and turquoise-blue for x <= 0.25 and dark green for x >= 0-50, ...

Barium erbium niobate (Ba2ErNbO6) has been developed as a new substrate for (Bi,Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox, [Bi(2223)] superconductor film. Ba2ErNbO6 (BENO) has a cubic perovskite structure with lattice constant, a = 8.318 Angstrom. ...

The construction of bacterial outer membrane models with native lipids like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a barrier to understanding antimicrobial permeability at the membrane interface. Here, we engineer bacterial outer ...

Base assisted divergent reactivity of isatins and allenoates has been achieved, which afforded diastereoselective spirofuran oxindoles and γ-functionalized allenoates. The DBU mediated Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction ...

A three layer ONIOM approach was used to study the interactions of hydrated alkali metal ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+ with a DNA fragment containing two phosphate groups, three sugar units, and a G center dot center dot ...

Microalga is the only feedstock that has the theoretical potential to completely replace the energy requirements derived from fossil fuels. However, commercialization of this potential source for fuel applications is ...

Although engineering education at the tertiary level in India is now more than 150 years old, it was only since independence that the IITs have been set up as institutions of national importance with an emphasis on ...

Nanotechnology for the treatment and diagnosis has been emerging recently as a potential area of research and development. In the present study, selenium incorporated guar gum nanoparticles have been prepared by ...
