Interactions of novel bi-dimensional nanomaterials and live matter such as bacteria viruses represent an extremely hot topic due to the unique properties innovative nanomaterials, capable in some cases exhibit bactericide antiviral actions. The interactions between two dimensional nanosheets are here investigated. We extensively studied interaction a gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, with different types 2D nanoflakes MoS2, belonging Transition...
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is an ideal candidate for the improvement of supercapacitor (SC) performances due to its industrial-ready manufacturing process and ease processing. In this work, rGO was used as active binder manufacture carbon black (CB) rGO-based SCs. Being able form a stable suspension in water, (GO) initially exploited dispersing agent fabricate homogeneous slurry with CB having exclusively water low-cost environment-friendly solvent. After casting on suitable substrate,...
The mutual interaction between environment and life is a main topic of biological sciences. An interesting aspect this the existence rhythms spanning all levels organisms from bacteria to humans. On other hand, coupling external oscillatory stimuli adaptation evolution rate systems still unexplored issue. Here we give demonstration substantial increase heritable phenotypic changes in yeast, an organism lacking photoreception system, when growing at 12 h light/dark cycles, with respect both...
Supercapacitors (SCs) are energy storage devices with a growing interest thanks to their high-power charge and discharge process long-cycle life. Their main drawback, when compared more common such as batteries, consists in low density. The performances of SCs can however be improved the coupling additives active material, which usually is an Activated Carbon. most additive instead Carbon Black (CB), while recently also Graphene-derived materials have been successfully exploited for this...
