It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Polymers

40.5K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Crossing Over

Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process...

Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

46.9K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
Gap Junctions
In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Organic polymeric materials offer significant potential for advancing chemical sensors and electro-optic devices.
  • Fabricating thin films of these materials is challenging due to thermal instability and solvent compatibility issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, low-cost, and repeatable method for fabricating thin films of quantum dot (QD) and organic polymer (OP) composites.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional thin-film deposition techniques for sensitive organic materials.

Main Methods:

  • A dry transfer contact printing technique using an elastomer stamp was employed.
  • The method involves transferring the QD/OP composite from the stamp to the sensor substrate without solvents or high temperatures.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated the repeatable, low-cost production of thin films of QD/OP composites.
  • The dry transfer process is compatible with materials sensitive to heat and solvents.

Conclusions:

  • The developed contact printing method provides a viable approach for fabricating QD/OP composite thin films for chemical sensor arrays.
  • This technique facilitates the integration of advanced organic materials into functional devices, overcoming previous fabrication hurdles.
