Biofilms are matrix-enclosed microbial communities that grow at interfaces. They are highly robust and exhibit significant phenotypic changes that render them resistant to many antibacterial agents that can kill their ...

γ-Fe2O3 maghemite nanoparticles were synthesized via the homogeneous thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl. This synthesis took place in the presence of a capping molecule, octanoic acid, and a mild oxidant, ...
