Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally, accounting for approximately one in every six deaths. Traditional cancer therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, chemoimmunotherapy, and radiation, face numerous challenges and limitations. In this context, we explore the advantages of photothermal therapy (PTT) using two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based nanocomposites for cancer treatment. MXenes, co Read More

Aerosols are fine particles in the atmosphere produced by nature or man-made like fog, forest exudates, industrial emissions, biomass burning, and dust. Aerosols can change the earth's climate, and the formation of clouds, and may reduce the rain as they circulate in the atmosphere. Black carbon, also called soot is the dominant form of particles in the atmosphere which absorb light. They are fine particles and are smaller t Read More

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) offer a breakthrough platform for drug therapy, surpassing traditional limitations and delivering exceptional performance. Among various nanoparticulate systems, lipid nanoparticles stand out as one of the most promising options for medication delivery. NLCs stand out due to their solid matrix at ambient temperatures, setting them apart from conventional lipid-based carriers such as nan Read More

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains a polyphenol called curcumin, which has a variety of medicinal uses, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. However, due to its rapid disintegration, low solubility, and poor absorption, its clinical application is restricted. To overcome these challenges, researchers are exploring the use of various kind of curcumin nanoparticles, which enhance its solubility, stability, and Read More

BackgroundThe development of more effective drug delivery techniques is necessary to increase treatment efficacy and patient compliance since tuberculosis (TB) is still a serious worldwide health concern. Ethambutol is a vital aspect of TB treatment, and using nanoparticles to carry it to the lungs may provide targeted delivery and prolonged release, which might enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.ObjectiveThis work Read More

BackgroundMany applications, including biological applications, require a very high output impedance current mirror because they run at very low voltages. The circuit known as the current mirror applies the idea that two identical MOS transistors with the same gate-source voltage will have equal channel currents flowing through them.ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to optimize the design to minimize power consumpti Read More

BackgroundThe synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Basella alba L. fruit using the hydrothermal method is investigated for heavy-metal detection. CQDs have gained significant attention due to their unique properties, including high photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. The utilization of natural sources such as Basella alba L. fruit for CQDs synthesis offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective approa Read More

Introduction/ObjectiveAcyclovir, a BCS class III drug (that has high solubility and low permeability) is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of herpes simplex and varicose zoster. To enhance acyclovir's permeability across the intestinal membrane and to improve its bioavailability the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanoparticles of acyclovir were prepared with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as a crosslinking agent.MethodsA phase sol Read More

BackgroundQCA nanotechnology is an emerging technology in the current scenario to develop the digital circuits for area-efficient, energy-efficient, low-power, and high-speed applications. The EXOR gate is broadly used in many digital applications. Therefore, an EXOR gate needs to be designed in an emerging technology to tackle the issues of the nanoscale regime of conventional metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) technology.Ai Read More
