Bottom-up assembly of nanocrystals (NCs) into ordered arrays, or superlattices (SLs), is a promising route to design materials with new functionalities, but the degree control over functional structures remains challenging. Using electrostatics, rather than density, tune interactions between semiconductor NCs, we watch self-assembly proceeding through metastable liquid phase. We systematically investigate phase behavior as function quench conditions in situ and real time using small angle...
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is of great concern in food processing facilities because it persists biofilms, facilitating biotransfer. Stainless steel commonly used for contact surfaces and transport containers. L. biofilms on stainless served as a model system surface sampling, to test the performance sonicating swab comparison with standard cotton swab. Swab consistency were determined using total viable counts. coupons sampled both types swabs examined scanning electron microscopy,...
We report ultrafast x-ray scattering experiments of the quasi-1D charge density wave (CDW) material (TaSe_{4})_{2}I following infrared photoexcitation. From time-dependent diffraction signal at CDW sidebands we identify a 0.11 THz amplitude mode derived primarily from transverse acoustic high-symmetry structure. our measurements determine that this interacts with valence indirectly through another collective mode, and system in has composite nature supporting multiple dynamically active...
Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage (NCTH) after injury is associated with a mortality increase that unchanged during the past 20 years. Current treatment consists of rapid transport and emergent intervention. Three early control interventions may improve survival are placement resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion aorta (REBOA), injection intracavitary self-expanding foam, application Abdominal Aortic Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT™). The goal this work was to ascertain whether patients...
The ability to understand and ultimately control the transformations properties of various nanoscale systems, from proteins synthetic nanomaterial assemblies, hinges on directly elucidate their dynamics characteristic length time scales. Here, we use MHz X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) microsecond-dynamics density fluctuations semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), not only in a colloidal dispersion but also liquid phase consisting densely packed, yet mobile, NCs with no long-range...
Solution-phase bottom up self-assembly of nanocrystals into superstructures such as ordered superlattices is an attractive strategy to generate functional materials increasing complexity, including very recent advances that incorporate strong interparticle electronic coupling. While the kinetics in these systems have been elucidated and related product characteristics, weak bonding interactions suggest formed could continue order within solution long after primary nucleation growth occurred,...
We report ultrafast x-ray scattering experiments of the quasi-1D charge density wave (CDW) material (TaSe$_4$)$_2$I following photoexcitation with femtosecond infrared laser pulses. From time-dependent diffraction signal at CDW sidebands we identify an amplitude mode derived primarily from transverse acoustic component static distortion. The dynamics this are described well by a model displacive excitation, which interpret as mediated through coupling to optical phonon associated...
Enhancements in swabbing technology to increase sample collection efficacy would benefit the food industry. Specifically, these enhancements assist industry implementing FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements by improving environmental monitoring effectiveness. A sonicating swab device, an example of enhanced technology, was demonstrated previously remove biofilm from stainless steel more efficiently than a standard cotton swab. Within this study, performance compared that for recovery

Abstract When a star undergoes core collapse, vast amount of energy is released in ∼10 s long burst neutrinos all species.

Femtosecond laser ablation is a process that bears both fundamental physics interest and has wide industrial applications. For decades, the lack of probes on relevant time length scales prevented access to highly nonequilibrium phase decomposition processes triggered by excitation. Enabled unprecedented intense femtosecond X-ray pulses delivered an free electron laser, we report here results time-resolved small angle scattering measurements dynamics nanoscale in thin gold films upon...
