Nowadays, the whole globe is paying great attention for the sustainable development, eco-friendly and economical production of nanostructures materials. With this motivation, the present work portrayed one-step ‘in-situ’ bioinspired green fabrication of Co3O4–reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (Co3O4–rGO NCs) for the first time utilizing an aqueous leaf extract of Neolamarckia cadamba. As-fabricated NCs were characterized by several analytical and electron microscopic techniques viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate their phases, structure, shape, composition, chemical state, porosity, optical and morphological aspects. The XRD study revealed a cubic spinel symmetry of NCs, while crystallite size estimated around 25 nm. TEM spectroscopy exposed an average particle size 8–10 nm of Co3O4 grown on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO NCs), whereas SEM analysis showed sharped microrubble-shaped morphology. The formation of NCs by doping metal oxide with rGO through in-situ method were confirmed by XRD, EDS, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy. The BET study estimated the specific surface area and pore size of NCs as 98 m2/g and 8.9 nm respectively. The Co3O4–rGO NCs demonstrated an effective bactericidal activity against S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and B. subtillis. Prominently it was found that, a significant antibacterial activity seen against E. coli and S. aureus at a concentration 0.1 mg/100 µL may be due to scaffold morphology, nanoscale-structures and nanoporosity of the NCs. Due to receiving significant antibacterial activity, material's molecular docking was assessed. Furthermore, an antioxidant activity of leaf extract and NCs was e

This study proposes a direct teaching method for the task of pressing an end effector attached to a robot manipulator against a workpiece with a constant force. When performing contact tasks, such as deburring or polishing using a manipulator, a passive compliance is required for the end effector to suppress excessive contact force and impact. Therefore, we developed an end effector that combines a “parallel wire-type teaching device,” which enables direct teaching, and a compliance device. In the case of pressing a workpiece with a constant force, after teaching the robot's trajectory to trace the edge of the workpiece, the amount of pressing can be calculated from the stiffness of the end effector and the desired pressing force; the robot's trajectory can be edited to teach contact tasks. An experiment was conducted to press a straight trajectory with a constant force as the target value and evaluate the accuracy of force teaching.
In molecular dynamics simulations, rare events, such as protein folding, are typically studied using enhanced sampling techniques, most of which are based on the definition of a collective variable (CV) along which ac...
