A Concept of pH and Its Measurement pH is a scale of values describing the relative acidity and alkalinity of solutions and is related to the chemical potential of the hydrogen ion. It is an operational scale of
The mathematical definition of pH is a bit less intuitive but in general more useful. It says that the pH is equal to to the negative logarithmic value of the Hydrogen ion (H+) concentration, or pH = -log(H+) pH can alternatively be defined mathematically as the negative logarithmic value...

To apply biohybrid microrobots in applications in bioengineering and medicine, reliable and efficient control of the microrobot at the swarm scale is a critical step. Our demonstrations of robust drift control using pH gradients expand the current scope of bacteria-propelled microrobotic control methods....
string is obtained from the quadrupolar anisotropy and argue that the mass scale of underlying theory responsible for the formation of string can not be much higher than the GUT scale. The predictions of string for the diagonal and off-diagonal components of CMB angular power spectrum are ...
The pH Scale:The pH of solutions can be determined by solving for the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in solution. The pH of solutions can range from 0 to 14 depending on the acidity or basicity of the solution.
Today, the preferred fixation method for EM is high-pressure freezing as it immobilizes synaptic components on a millisecond timescale while avoiding artifacts associated with chemical fixation such as the collapse of presynaptic terminals and the redistribution of synaptic vesicles (Rostaing et al., ...
The nanosensor exhibits a sensitive ratiometric pH response within the range of 5.5–9.0, with a calculated pKa of 7.47. This range optimally covers the extracellular pH (pHe) of most healthy cells and cells in which the pHe is abnormal, such as cancer cells. In combination with the...
The application of biomimetic and stimuli-responsive nanocarriers displays considerable promise in improving the management of bacterial sepsis and overcoming antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, the study aimed to synthesize a novel hyaluronic acid-lysine conjugate (HA-Lys) and to utilize the attributes of...
The pH scale is not a linear measure of the proton concentration but a logarithmic one. In fact, the “p” in “pH” stands for the negative base 10 logarithm and “H” stands for the concentration of H+. This means that a change of 1 pH unit doesn't change the proton concentration...
