Abstract Empty space in germanium (ESG) or germanium-on-nothing (GON) are unique self-assembled germanium structures with multiscale cavities of various morphologies.Due to their simple fabrication process and high-quality crystallinity after self-assembly, they can be applied in various fields including micro-/nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and

Plasmonic nanostructures, particularly of noble-metal Au and Ag, have attracted long-lasting research interests because of their intriguing physical and chemical properties.Under light excitation, their conduction electrons can form collective oscillation with the electromagnetic fields at particular wavelength, leading to localized surface plasmon

To establish a rabbit animal model of closed globe blast injury with an application of self-developed explosive injury equipment, we tend to explore the anatomic and pathological changes of eyes under different gas pressure.The device comprises of high-pressure air source compression pump, air channel, and gas shock.There were 36 healthy bluish blu

Background.Eclampsia is a major direct cause of maternal mortality in South Africa (SA).Most cases of morbidity and mortality areprobably due to late booking for antenatal care, poor quality of care and poor interfacility transport.Publications on eclampsia in SA aremainly from tertiary hospitals and often do not provide clinical management details
