Application


  • Observation of neutron emission during acoustic cavitation of deuterated titanium powder.: This study explores the novel use of mineral oil as a neutron moderator in experimental setups involving acoustic cavitation, highlighting its unique properties that aid in neutron capture and measurement in nuclear research (Fomitchev-Zamilov, 2024).

  • Air trap and removal on a pressure-driven PDMS-based microfluidic device.: Demonstrating the utility of mineral oil in microfluidic applications, this research focuses on its role in managing air traps in lab-on-a-chip systems, crucial for biomedical and diagnostic device efficiency (Xu et al., 2024).

  • Kinetic Assessment of Kraft and Thermally Upgraded Kraft Papers Aged in Five Alternative Dielectric Fluids.: Investigating the impact of mineral oil and alternative fluids on the aging behavior of kraft paper, this study contributes to better understanding of material durability in electrical insulation systems (Mendez et al., 2024).

Accurate chromosome segregation during meiosis depends on the assembly of a microtubule-based spindle of proper shape and size. Current models for spindle-size control focus on reaction diffusion-based chemical regulation and balance in activities of motor proteins. Although several molecular perturbations

Na(4)Si(4) and Na(4)Ge(4) are ideal chemical precursors for inorganic clathrate structures, clusters, and nanocrystals. The monoclinic Zintl phases, Na(4)Si(4) and Na(4)Ge(4), contain isolated homo-tetrahedranide [Si(4)](4-) and [Ge(4)](4-) clusters surrounded by alkali metal cations. In this study, a simple scalable route

Lipid-soluble thiamine precursors have a much higher bioavailability than genuine thiamine and therefore are more suitable for therapeutic purposes. Benfotiamine (S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate), an amphiphilic S-acyl thiamine derivative, prevents the progression of diabetic complications, probably by increasing tissue levels of thiamine
