Abstract: The present invention provides a simple method for ablating a protective thin film on a bulk surface and roughening the underlying bulk. In an embodiment, silicon nitride thin films, which are useful as etch-stop masks in micro- and nano-fabrication, is removed from a silicon wafer's surface using a hand-held “flameless” Tesla-coil lighter. Vias created by a spatially localized electron beam from the lighter allow a practitioner to perform micro- and nano-fabrication without the conventional steps of needing a photoresist and photolithography. Patterning could be achieved with a hard mask or rastering of the spatially confined discharge, offering—with low barriers to rapid use—particular capabilities that might otherwise be out of reach to researchers without access to conventional, instrumentation-intensive micro- and nano-fabrication workflows.

Abstract: The invention features a composition comprising a corticosteroid and a pHLIP® peptide. pHLIP® peptides target corticosteroids to cell surface acidity in inflamed and fibrotic tissues, where they translocate corticosteroids across plasma membranes into the cytoplasms of cells, thereby suppressing inflammation in the targeted tissues while avoiding the side effects resulting from non-targeted administration.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an improved sample preparation technique and adapter device for the removal of trace materials from swabs and delivery of the trace materials into a mass spectrometer (MS) or an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS). The adapter device and technique aids the delivery of the analyte into the instrument inlet and concurrently serves as an ionization source. The technique includes the steps of positioning or shaping the swab so that a pointed analyte release corner or tip is directed toward the inlet of the MS or IMS, adding a solvent to the swab and charging the swab to create an ionized analyte spray pointed at or positioned within the inlet of the detection instrument.

Abstract: A plasticized pyrotechnic material can be easily portioned and formed or molded into a desired shape and burns at a high temperature (>2000° C.) but does not detonate. The plasticized pyrotechnic material may preferably include a combination of about 70-99% by weight of a pyrotechnic composition and about 1-30% by weight of a plasticizer composition comprising various low to mid molecular weight polyisobutylenes. The pyrotechnic material comprises inorganic oxidizers (e.g. metal oxides, oxohalide salts, nitrates, nitrites, chlorates/perchlorates) and metal or metal oxides powders mixed intimately. The plasticizer may include a small amount of a fluoropolymer, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and may also include up to 1-2% by weight of a processed oil, such as a mineral oil or motor oil. Some embodiments may also include a biocide precursor molecule.

Abstract: The invention features a composition comprising a potent cytotoxic compound and a pH low insertion peptide, where, e.g., the cytotoxic compound cannot be used alone due to a lack of targeting. The pH low insertion peptide targets cytotoxic compounds to acidic diseased tissue, translocates cytotoxic compounds across plasma membranes into the cytosols of cells in acidic diseased tissues and induces cell death predominantly in the targeted acidic diseased tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a unique, two-part, water-soluble polymer matrix material and a method of application that immobilizes a wide variety of loose powder or crystalline hazardous materials and renders them “safe” or at least “safer” for handling and transport. The polymer matrix material is a two-part polymer material comprising a liquid cross-linking polymer and a cross-linking agent, initiator, or biocide contained in a solution. The cross-linking agent functions to cross-link the polymer and cause it to harden in place.
