    The functioning of single molecules in nanofluidic confinement is a typical process in cell biology. The orientation of molecules is a critical parameter for this. We discern the orientation of a single molecule in a nanofluidic environment while it\u27s functioning in an engineered solid-state device. Molecular properties depend on the electrodynamic interface. Our manufacturing ability of uniform electrodynamic interfaces at nanometric lengthscale opens the avenue of imitating biological abilities to handle single molecules with single-charge precision. We present a step-wise single-molecule fluorescence photobleaching study in a nanoconfined space of 25 nm to 45 nm. The uniform electrodynamics interfaces of silica-silica let us study the artefact-free dependence of molecular interface and its effect on step-wise photobleaching with a controlled environment of oxygen at room temperature

    Single electron-controlled motions of single molecules

    In the domain of single-molecule dynamics, we investigate the impact of electrostatic forces on molecular motion. Our study delves into the interplay between quantum mechanics and electrostatic interactions, resulting in trajectories reminiscent of planetary motion and gravity-assisted acceleration. By employing state-dependent diffusion and Green\u27s functions, we establish a robust theoretical foundation that explains quantum control over molecules. We find that surface charge density critically influences diffusion coefficients, following linear scaling similar to Coulombic forces. Our research extends the range of observed diffusion coefficients, reaching up to 6000 µm2ms-1. These findings have practical applications in materials science and molecular engineering. This study advances our understanding of molecular motion and highlights the potential for precise control over single-molecule dynamics through quantum manipulation—an exploration at the nanoscale

    Nanometric chemical decomposition of infertile Himalayan soils from Uttarakhand

    We present the nanometric chemical decomposition of Himalayan agricultural soils. The motivation to use this state-of-the-art material characterisation in the soil is to reduce the testing cost while increasing the efficiency of the characterisation. In India, a bulk volume of soil is still required for the characterisation of agricultural soil. The fertility of micronutrient contents and crop supply capacity vary greatly depending on soil types, crop types, ecology, and agroclimatic variability. Since total levels of micronutrients are rarely predictive of the availability of a nutrient to plants, knowledge of the differences in soil micronutrients that are available to plants is essential for the sensible management of micronutrient fertility and toxicity. In the state of Uttarakhand, low levels of micro-nutrients in the soil are frighteningly common, and this issue is made worse by the fact that many current cultivars of important crops are extremely vulnerable to low mineral levels. These baseline results are to be used to inform local farmers about the potential remedies, costs, and consequential benefits and durability. We intend not to present a generalized or generalized solution. Therefore, we limit our soil sample collections to five arc minutes (8.6 square kilometers) and document variations and heterogeneity in the chemical components of the soil. In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy to chemically deconstruct the barren Himalayan soils from Uttarakhand. Aluminium, carbon, oxygen, and silicon were identified as the primary elements that contributed more than 5% of the total weight and atomic percentage. Other elements include less than 4% of iron, titanium, nitrogen, sodium, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, and calcium
