Charged Particles Modulate Local Ionic Concentrations and Cause Formation of Positive Peaks in Resistive-Pulse-Based Detection
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of electrolyte concentration on the shape of ion current pulses in resistive-pulse sensing was studied and it was shown that electrokinetic passage of several hundred nanometers in diameter charged polystyrene particles through a micropore leads to formation of current increase when the particles exit the pore.

TL;DR: This manuscript proposes using pores with longitudinal irregularities as a sensitive tool capable of distinguishing spherical and rod-shaped particles with different lengths between objects of similar volume but different shapes.

TL;DR: It is shown that highly charged hard spheres can cause a significant increase of the resistive-pulse amplitude compared to neutral particles of a similar diameter, and this finding is of crucial importance for sizing particles and characterizing their surface charge properties.

Emergence of ligand-to-metal charge transfer in homogeneous photocatalysis and photosensitization
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors review the latest developments on ligand-to-metal charge transfer photosensitization by molecular complexes across the periodic table by focusing homogeneous photocatalysis and the use of photophysical measurements and computational calculations to understand the electronic structures, photochemical processes, structureactivity relationships, and reaction mechanisms.
