There is a considerable interest in developing new analytical tools to fight the illicit trafficking of heritage goods and particularly of easel paintings, whose high market values attract an ever-increasing volume of criminal activities. The …
In this work we discuss how different accelerator-based techniques can be employed synergistically in order to provide a powerful analytical tool for forensic studies of foodstuff. To that end, a Brazilian coffee was chosen as a showcase due to its …

High performance carbon nanotube fibres and yarns with similar strength to Kevlar could now offer significant structural reinforcement and multifunctionality to 3D printed parts. However, recently printed parts which were reinforced with …
Separating enantiomers is vital in chemical syntheses, life sciences, and physics. However, the usual chemical processes are inefficient. Recently, plasmonic nanostructures have drawn considerable attention for manipulating nanoparticles; however, …
The intense light–matter interaction of plasmonic metasurfaces provides an appealing platform for optical sensing. To date, most metasurface sensors are not spectrally tuned. Moreover, they operate in a total reflection mode, which complicates the …
Lightweight nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanotube (CNT) assemblies raise the prospects for a range of high-tech engineering applications. However, a correlation between their heterogeneous chemical structure and spatial organization of …
