We present the successful synthesis and stabilization of 3.5 nm Pd nanoparticles (standard deviation 0.49 nm) within dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) via fast, homogeneous reduction a salt using NaBH4 in absence traditional capping ligands. These were found to be extremely stable did not exhibit precipitation and/or agglomeration DMSO solvent even after more than 9 months. Moreover, these conveniently separated from medium vacuum freeze drying by taking advantage high freezing point DMSO. have also...

Observations of stellar remnants linked to Type Ia and Iax supernovae are necessary fully understand their progenitors. Multiple progenitor scenarios predict a population kicked donor partially-burnt primary remnants, both moving with relatively high velocity. But only handful examples consistent these two predicted populations have been observed. Here we report the likely first known example an unbound white dwarf that is being fully-cooled remnant supernova. The candidate, LP 93-21,...

Abstract The great comet C/1995 O1 (Hale–Bopp) presented a remarkable opportunity to study its long-term brightness over four years. We used 2240 observations published in the International Comet Quarterly from 17 observers during 1995 July 1999 September create secular lightcurve. In order account for observer differences, we present novel algorithm reduce scatter and increase precision lightcurve compiled many sources. It is implemented publicly available code, ICQSPLITTER, which uses...

The availability of clean drinking water is a significant concern in many rural communities around the world. contamination resources directly affects locals by causing adverse health effects like diarrhea and other gastrointestinal diseases. Potential solutions such as sand filtration, chlorination, solar disinfection are effective purification technologies. Another method includes reverse osmosis, which main for filtration Philippines. However, mostly due to energy cost concerns, these...

The long-term brightness evolution of the great comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) presented a remarkable opportunity to study behavior its coma over four years. We used approximately 2200 total visual magnitudes published in International Comet Quarterly taken from 17 observers during period 1995 July - 1999 September create secular lightcurve. In order account for observer differences, we present novel algorithm reduce scatter and increase precision lightcurve compiled many sources. It is...
