If a hydrate dissociates fast enough, it leads to the formation of nanobubbles.

Not exact matches

Gaining a better understanding of how nanobubbles impact their formation and dissociation could help design procedures to more efficiently and safely harvest hydrates for natural gas capture.

Quite apart from anything else, basic physics said that the «nanobubbles» at the heart of Pan's magic brew simply don't exist.

«If the decomposition of the methane hydrate phase is fast enough, which depends on temperature, the methane gas in the aqueous phase forms nanobubbles,» said Saman Alavi, one of the lead researchers on the project.

The in vivo performance of plasmonic nanobubbles as cell theranostic agents in zebrafish hosting prostate cancer xenografts.

An increase in the sensitivity of scattering imaging can be achieved through generating PNBs around NPs, as we demonstrate above, because the scattering of such vapor nanobubbles is brighter than that of gold NPs [37,38,47,51].

We conclude that the suggested method of cell theranostics with «rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles» demonstrates the following advantages over other methods of photothermal excitation of plasmonic NPs and PNBs:

This feature also reduces the fluence of each laser pulse below the threshold for a nanobubble generated through a «single pulse - mono - NP» mechanism.

When the threshold is exceeded, the optical energy is converted in the NP by the mechanism of plasmon resonance into a sufficient amount of thermal energy that is rapidly transferred to the NP nano - environment, evaporates this nano - environment, and provides the expansion of the vapor into the nanobubble.

This mechanism works through the selective formation of NP clusters (tightly aggregated groups of 5 - 50 NPs) in specifically targeted cells and the cluster size - dependent mechanism of optical activation of such NP clusters through the generation of plasmonic nanobubbles (PNBs)[35 - 38].

Nanobubble source: clusters of different NPs, rather than clusters of NPs of one type.

The tunable physical and biological effects of selective targeting and activation of plasmonic nanobubbles (PNB) were studied in a heterogeneous biological microenvironment of prostate cancer and stromal cells.

The mechanism of rainbow plasmonic nanobubbles significantly improves the selectivity of bubble generation in specific target cancer cells compared to non-specific stromal (non-cancer) cells and can therefore provide the cell level selectivity needed for diagnosis and therapy.
