Self-aligned patterning of tantalum oxide on Cu/SiO2 through redox-coupled inherently selective atomic layer deposition

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new manufacturing technique using atomic layer deposition to precisely deposit a thin oxide coating on silicon dioxide while avoiding unwanted deposition on copper surfaces. This method uses an ethanol reduction step to keep the copper from oxidizing and accepting the coating material. When tested on tiny copper and silicon dioxide patterns about 100 nanometers across, the coating grew only where desired, achieving perfect selectivity without any defects.

Identification of two novel thiazolidin-2-imines as tyrosinase inhibitors: synthesis, crystal structure, molecular docking and DFT studies

Scientists created two new chemical compounds that are much better at slowing down the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for skin darkening and browning of foods. These compounds were tested both in the lab and using computer models, and they worked about 14 times better than kojic acid, a commonly used anti-darkening ingredient. The research suggests these new compounds could be useful in cosmetics, food preservation, and treating skin conditions like unwanted pigmentation.
