Very High Surface Area Mesoporous Thin Films of SrTiO3_{3} Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition and Application to Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Very high surface area, self-assembled, highly crystalline mesoporous SrTiO$_{3}$ (STO) thin films were developed for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Much improved performance of these mesoporous films compared to planar STO thin films and any other form of STO such as single crystal samples and nanostructures was demonstrated. The high performance resulted from very large surface area films and optimization of carrier concentration.We gratefully acknowledge the support from the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, ERC adg grant (247276) NOVOX and UKIERI grant (IND/CONT/E/12-13/813).

Ranula – A Case Report

The term ranula is derived from a latin word “rana” which means “frog.” Ranula is a mucous containing swelling that occurs in the floor of the mouth. It usually presents as a well circumscribed, soft, bluish swelling covered by a thin layer of epithelium. This article presents a case of simple ranula in seven year old female patient treated with excision of sublingual gland
