The generation of non-classical light with improved performances within tiny sizes, intervals of lengths, and diameters is still a challenge. The generation of variable wavelengths associated with different frequencies of energy modes produced from new sources of emitters within confined scales from the Quantum to Nano-and Micro-scales are of high impact. It is noted here that the concept of the generation of non-classical light related to electronics and photonics interactions with different to [...]

Lead is a non-biodegradable toxic heavy metal. Biosorption process is an attractive technique to remediate lead-contaminated environments because it is simple, effective and low-cost. In addition, rice husk constitutes a highly available residual biomass that could be used as bioadsorbent. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the biosorption of lead on natural and chemically treated rice husk and evaluate the incorporation of the residue (biomass-contaminant) into ceramic matrices to immob [...]
