Grafeenoxide, op je gezondheidvrijdag 27 januari 2012 15:11:00
Ongetwijfeld kan je er ook iets nuttigers mee doen. Maar dat mag iemand anders uitzoeken, aldus de Britse omroep BBC die het aan Geim en eerste auteur Rahul Nair heeft gevraagd. De publicatie suggereert dat de afstand tussen de grafeenoxidelaagjes precies goed is om er watermoleculen tussen te laten passen. Die worden er dus vanzelf tussendoor gezogen. De snelheid waarmee dat gebeurt, hangt in essentie af van het tempo waarin het water aan de buitenkant verdampt.
NanoHPLC-nanoESI+-MS/MS Quantitation of Bis-N7-Guanine DNA"DNACross-Links in Tissues of B6C3F1 Mice Exposed to subppm Levels of1,3-Butadienevrijdag 27 januari 2012 10:16:00
Abstract1,3-Butadiene (BD) is an important industrial chemical and a common environmental pollutant present in urban air. BD is classified as a human carcinogen based on epidemiological evidence for an increased incidence of leukemia in workers occupationally exposed to BD and its potent carcinogenicity in laboratory mice. A diepoxide metabolite of BD, 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), is considered the ultimate carcinogenic species of BD due to its ability to form genotoxic DNA"DNA cross-links.
Mass Spectrometric Identificationof Water-Soluble Gold Nanocluster Fractions from Sequential Size-SelectivePrecipitationvrijdag 27 januari 2012 10:16:00
AbstractThis paper presents a simple and convenient methodology to separate and characterize water-soluble gold nanocluster stabilized with penicillamine ligands (AuNC-SR) in aqueous medium by sequential size-selective precipitation (SSSP) and mass spectrometry (MS). The highly polydisperse crude AuNC-SR product with an average core diameter of 2.1 nm was initially synthesized by a one-phase solution method.
