Multi‐Step Assembly of an RNA‐Liposome Nanoparticle Formulation Revealed by Real‐Time, Single‐Particle Quantitative Imaging by Michael C. Chung, Hector R. Mendez‐Gomez, Dhruvkumar Soni, Reagan McGinley, Alen Zacharia, Jewel Ashbrook, Brian Stover, Adam J. Grippin, Elias J. Sayour, Juan Guan

“…Imaging reveals that the assembly occurs in discrete steps: initially, RNA adsorbs onto the liposomes; then, the RNA‐coated liposomes cluster into heterogeneous structures ranging from sub‐micrometer to tens of micrometers. The clustering process is consistent with a Smoluchowski model with a Brownian diffusion kernel. …”

Forming Coatings from Self-Fluxing Powder Based on Steels of Austenite Class Adding Molybdenum by F. I. Panteleenko, V. A. Okovity, O. G. Devoino, V. V. Okovity, A. S. Volodko, V. M. Astashinsky

“…Among the methods described above, plasma spraying followed by fusion is a good alternative to other surfacing processes. The coating should not be overheated until it is completely  melted, since in this case the primary crystals of chromium carbides and borides pass into a liquid solution and upon subsequent crystallization, form a coarser structure, worsening the quality of the coating. …”
