Due to their ability to tailor surface chemistry and optical properties, nanoparticles present a promising avenue for fingerprint development, especially on various types of surfaces. However, there has been a lack of understanding regarding the comparative behaviour of nanoparticles across different substrates. This review aims to address this gap by critically comparing the surface-specific performance of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. In which we consider common nanoparticles for LFP development, such as Gold, Silver, silica, zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, iron oxide, Copper oxide, and Aluminium oxide. Our review examines how various nanoparticles influence fingerprint residue on porous and non-porous surfaces and assesses their effectiveness in terms of clarity, durability using these nanoparticles. Our key finding of comparative analysis highlights that gold nanoparticles yield promising outcomes even on historically challenging porous substrates due to their affinity for sweat and amino acids. Conversely, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide exhibit superior fluorescence-based contrast on non-porous surfaces such as glass and plastics, as well as some porous surfaces. The rest of the nanoparticles were able to achieve their success on porous and non-porous surfaces with some limitations. We also outline diverse methods employed by various researchers, including dusting, brushing, spraying, and fluorescence imaging, while emphasising the role of substrate texture and the functionalization of nanoparticles.

In response, this study presents the insecticidal potential of graphene materials in the form of nanopowders as new chemical and resistance free grain protectants. The influence of the grain types such as rice, maize, and wheat and graphene nanopowder characteristics on insectidicial efficacy against common grain insects was evaluated against three most destructive grain insects including: the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera; Curculionidae), the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera; Curculionidae), and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera; Tenebrionidae). Three industrially produced graphene nanopowders with distinct physicochemical properties (particle size, surface chemistry, hydrophobicity) were used at two dosage rates (500 and 1000 ppm). Mortality of insects was assessed after 7, 14, and 21 days of exposure, and progeny production was evaluated after 65 days. The results indicated that S. oryzae exhibited the highest susceptibility among the tested species, with rice grains experiencing the most significant insect mortality across all graphene concentrations (500 and 1000 ppm). Significant reductions in progeny with minor produced insects were observed, especially in maize, highlighting the long-term protective effects of graphene nanopowders. The insectidicial mode of action is attributed to a physical mechanism involving the adhesion of graphene particles to insect bodies, obstructing respiration and disrupting the cuticle. These findings suggest that graphene nanopowders, due to their unique structural, chemical and interfacial properties, have a strong potential to be used as new grain protectants, providing unique physical mode of action.</p>","PeriodicalId":72828,"journal":{"name":"Discover nano","volume":"20 1","pages":"174"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145240452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Safe in vivo delivery is a key bottleneck for its therapeutic use. Viral vector-mediated delivery raises concerns due to immunogenicity, long-term expression, and genomic disruption. Delivery of pre-complexed ribonucleoprotein (RNP) reduces off-target effects, and recombinant Cas9 production is more cost-effective than viral vector synthesis. CRISPR-Cas RNPs do not possess intrinsic cell entry mechanisms, and physical delivery methods are confined to ex vivo editing, necessitating non-viral delivery approaches. Nanogels (NG) are biocompatible polymeric nanoparticles capable of entrapping proteins. Here, we report the first proof of principle that NGs from thiol-functionalized polyglycidol can entrap active RNPs with high efficiency (60 ± 2%). We call these particles CRISPR-Gels. A commercially available E. coli lysate for cell-free transcription and translation (TXTL) was used to mimic the intracellular reductive degradation of NGs while providing a real-time fluorescence readout of RNP activity. Degradation and RNP activity were observed within 30-90 min.

In this study, computer simulations are used to analyze the metal distribution of Ir-Pd nanoparticles synthesized via microemulsions. Based on the high difference between the reduction potentials, an Ir-core/Pd-shell structure is expected. However, experimental results have shown a higher Ir fraction at the surface (15-23%). The hypothesis is that this unexpected results may be due to differences in nucleation rates. To investigate this, we performed a systematic study on the influence of critical nucleus size on the final nanostructure when the two metals have very different reduction rates. Our aim was to determine the conditions under which Ir can reach the nanoparticle surface. The results confirm that the large difference in reduction rates mainly governs metal segregation, leading to core-shell structures. However, when the concentration is close to the critical nucleus value, a slower nucleation rate results in higher Ir enrichment at the surface. It can be attributed to both a slow homoatomic nucleation rate and to a slow heteroatomic nucleation rate of Ir-Pd. At higher concentrations, this effect disappears as the higher reactant availability facilitates nucleation, resulting in similar metal segregation regardless of the critical nucleus size.

With the rapid development of microelectronic devices and integrated optical circuits, the demand for high-yield and high-quality processing of SiC wafer has intensified. Traditional SiC wafer processing technologies suffer from low efficiency and high material loss, making it difficult to meet industrial demands. Therefore, the development of efficient, low-damage processing techniques has become a pressing issue in the SiC wafer processing field. Ultrashort pulsed laser processing, with its advantages of contact free processing, no mechanical stress, and small heat-affected zones, has garnered significant attention in SiC wafer processing in recent years. By generating a modified layer within the material, laser processing plays a crucial role in wafer fabrication. However, the key challenge lies in precisely controlling the thickness of the modified layer down to the micro-nano scale to minimize material loss. This review systematically discusses the interaction mechanisms and modification processes of laser with wide-bandgap semiconductor SiC materials. It focuses on the core issue in laser modification technology, where nonlinear effects make it difficult to precisely control the modification layer depth, thereby affecting both modification quality and processing efficiency. To address this, the paper summarizes the differences in modification mechanisms with lasers of varying pulse durations and proposes a multi-strategy solution to improve modification quality and processing efficiency through pulse control and synergistic optimization of process parameters.
