The Role of Thickening Agent Proportions in Optimizing Nanoemulsion Gel for Dermatophytosis Treatment by Zhang X, Wu CC, Jiang H, Zhao JF, Pan ZJ, Zheng Y

“…A series of α-pinene NGs (αNG1, αNG2, αNG3) containing 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% (w/w) Carbomer 940 were developed and evaluated for stability, rheological properties, and skin irritation; assessed for ex vivo skin permeation, deposition, and fluorescent imaging of drug distribution within skin layers; and tested in vivo for efficacy against Trichophyton rubrum infection in guinea pigs, with PAS (Periodic Acid–Schiff) staining confirming fungal clearance.Results: The steady-state skin flux rates of α-pinene over 24 hours were αNG1 (46.93± 2.52 μg/cm²/h) > αNG2 (26.01± 2.65 μg/cm²/h) > αNG3 (11.36± 1.69 μg/cm²/h). …”

Observation of Body‐Centered‐Cubic Cu Nanocluster with Partial Cu(0) Character by Pu Gao, Jing Du, Weijie Hong, Mingzai Wu, Yan Feng, Yanjun Ding, Manzhou Zhu

“…The synthesis of non‐face‐centered‐cubic (FCC) Cu nanoclusters (NCs) with Cu(0) character is still challenging due to their instability. Herein, a Cu(0)‐containing Cu NC is first reported to contain a metallic framework of 23 Cu atoms with a body‐centered‐cubic Cu@Cu8 core, stabilized by 6 triphenylphosphine (TPP) and 18 4‐methylbenzenethiolate ligands, as determined by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. …”

Improving the Spectral Response of Black Dye by Cosensitization with a Simple Indoline Based Dye in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell by Md. Akhtaruzzaman, Ashraful Islam, Mohammad Rezaul Karim, A. K. Mahmud Hasan, Liyuan Han

“…It was observed that D-1 effectively increases the short-circuit photocurrent by offsetting the competitive light absorption by I/I3- electrolyte in the wavelength region 350–500 nm when adsorbed on the TiO2 nanocrystaline films in a mix dye system. The DSCs containing the D-1 and black dye achieved a power conversion efficiency of 9.80% with higher short-circuit photocurrent of 19.54 mA/cm2 compared to the system of black dye without cosensitization under standard AM 1.5 sunlight.…”
