Synthetic Biology

5.5K
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids

965
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...

Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods

23.5K
As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation.
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

The Scientific Method

65.4K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

260.6K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Methods of Sterilization II: Chemical Methods

8.9K
In healthcare, the chemical method of sterilization uses chemical sterilants to treat surgical instruments and medical supplies to help prevent the transmission of infectious pathogens to patients. Due to heat sensitivity, most medical supplies and equipment should not be exposed to high temperatures. These parts include rubber, plastic, glass, and other similar elements.
Using chemical sterilization rather than heat to clean out equipment is recommended. It eradicates and removes all bacteria,...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Semiconductor Physics

Background:

  • Hafnium disulfide (HfS2) shows promise as a 2D semiconductor, potentially outperforming MoS2 and WS2.
  • Its native oxide, HfO2, is a well-established high-k dielectric, offering synergistic advantages.
  • Existing synthesis methods like MOCVD have not been successfully applied to HfS2 due to precursor limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method for synthesizing high-quality HfS2.
  • To introduce and evaluate novel nitrogen-coordinated hafnium precursors for HfS2 deposition.
  • To investigate the oxidation pathways and electrical properties of MOCVD-grown HfS2 films.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of two novel nitrogen-coordinated hafnium precursors: [Hf(TMSAEDMA)(NMe2)3] (1) and [Hf(TMSAEDMA)(NEtMe)3] (2).
  • Deposition of HfS2 films using MOCVD with precursor 1 under moderate, H2S-free conditions.
  • Characterization using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrical conductivity measurements.

Main Results:

  • Successful MOCVD growth of crystalline HfS2 using precursor 1.
  • Observation of rapid native oxidation to HfO2 and HfOxSy, forming heterostructures.
  • Electrical conductivity was preserved in HfS2 films with native oxide and after ZnS capping.

Conclusions:

  • This study establishes the first MOCVD route for high-quality HfS2.
  • Precursor 1 is identified as a versatile tool for chalcogenide growth.
  • The findings highlight HfS2's potential for advanced semiconductor applications due to its properties and oxidation behavior.
