The UV-crosslinkable benzophenone (BP) “bio-glue” efficiently crosslinks with various surfaces and biomolecules. The beauty of this bio-glue lies in its simplicity and broad applicability, requiring no sophisticated equipment or reaction conditions.

Disulfiram (DSF) can target and kill cancer cells by disrupting cellular degradation of extruded proteins and has therefore received particular attention for its tumor chemotherapeutic potential.

In this study, we prepare pore-spanning membranes that mimic the composition of plasma membranes and perform force spectroscopy indentation measurements to unravel mechanistic insights depending on lipid composition.

In this study, mesoporous activated carbon was prepared from bamboo parenchyma cells for MB removal from water.

Ocean ecological environments are seriously affected by oil spilling and plastic-debris, significantly reducing marine pollution via using biocomposite production from natural fiber reinforcement is a friendly way to deal with marine oil pollution.

In recent years, flexible conductive materials have attracted considerable attention for their potential use in flexible energy storage devices, touch panels, sensors, memristors, and other applications.

An easy green non-covalent surface functionalization of pristine SWCNT was carried out by using ball grinding technology, resulting in the formation of a highly homogeneous and stable PA-SWCNTs dispersion reported firstly in water.

Cellulose/SiO₂-based composite microtube superfoam exhibits excellent flame retardant, thermal insulation and ablative resistance.

C, Ta-co-doped ZnO nanoparticles (E_g = 2.88 eV), prepared by hydrothermal method, were used as a photocatalyst under visible light to remove organic contaminants in aquatic environments.

Illustration of the mechanism of NbC/TA–GelMA hydrogel with multifunctional properties for potential application in oral mucosal impairment.

Different reaction routes with the influence of hydrogen bonding and without hydrogen bonding.

The structure of cellulose films prepared by nonsolvent-induced phase separation in coagulation baths of different mixtures and temperatures. High water volume fractions in the coagulation bath result in a highly reproducible gel-like structure with inhomogeneities.

The In/Te bilayer thin film synthesized by thermal evaporation method with 350 nm thickness annealed at different temperatures and their opto-electronic properties change. The films showed a hydrophobic nature, with enhancement of photo current from nA to ∼mA.

Supramolecular metallogels with Tb(III)- and Eu(III)-ions, formed using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, display remarkable stability at room temperature. They hold promise for use in electronics, notably as reliable ambient Schottky barrier diodes.

Treatment of carbon papers with Ti₃C₂T_x MXene solution for vanadium redox flow batteries.

Most MOFs for controllable cancer treatment act as drug delivery vehicle and/or anti-cancer agent. Molecules with anti-cancer roles such as chemotherapies, gases, peptides or nucleic acids can be loaded into MOFs that decompose in cancer cells or in the TME to release its cargoes.

Perovskite solar cells prepared by using amorphous Tin oxide as electron transport layer.

Environmental degradation and energy constraint are important risks to long-term sustainability in the modern world.

This study demonstrates the preparation of SiO₂/ZnO core–shell nanoparticles with controllable shell size and their optical properties.

Insoluble polymerized organic electrode is developed and wrapped in graphite sheets, which possesses low-impedance and realized a cycling life of over 1500 cycles. This work provides insights for exploring high-performance organic cathodes.

Enhancing the flame retardancy of electrolytes and the stability of lithium anodes is of great significance to improve the safety performance of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries.

A defect-healed layered precursor of FER-type zeolite exhibited enhanced iron atom insertion in more homogeneous environments.

Investigation of heteroatom (N, B, O, P and S) doping impact on the structural, optoelectronic and photoluminescence properties of diamond-shaped graphene quantum dots for photovoltaics and nanomedical applications, and energy technologies.

Despite of all the developments in DNA microarray technology, there is not sufficient knowledge about protein abundance or their function in processes such as proteolysis, phosphorylation.

This study investigates the characteristics of Ba_0.67Ni_0.33Mn_1–xFe_xO₃ perovskite under varying Fe doping levels at the Mn-site (x = 0, 0.2). X-ray diffraction confirm the material's consistent structure, with Fe³⁺ ions substituting Mn³⁺ ions while maintaining identical ionic radius.
