Improving the shelf lives of fruits is challenging. The biodegradable polysaccharide pullulan exhibits excellent film-forming ability, gas barrier performance, and natural decomposability, making it an optimal material for fruit preservation. To over...

Naodesheng Tablet (Naodesheng Pian), a traditional Chinese medicine formula for stroke treatment, is made up of five herbal medicines, i.e., Sanqi, Gegen, Honghua, Shanzha, and Chuanxiong. However, the current Pharmacopoeia quality-marker (Q-marker)...

The burgeoning demand for miniaturized energy storage devices compatible with the miniaturization trend of electronic technologies necessitates advancements in micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) that promise safety, cost efficiency, and high-speed charging...

Graphene materials, used as electrocatalyst support in green hydrogen production, contribute to increasing the efficiency and robustness of various systems. However, the preparation of a hybrid catalyst containing graphene materials from industrial w...

On the verge of a theranostic approach to personalised medicine, copper-64 is one of the emerging radioisotopes in nuclear medicine due to its exploitable nuclear and biochemical characteristics. The increased demand for copper-64 for preclinical and...

Makaluvamine J, a pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloid of marine sponge origin, and its analogs were synthesized and assessed for their potential to develop as a novel and selective growth inhibitor targeting human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells. Ts-damirone...

Aronia melanocarpa fruit contains a variety of active ingredients, such as phenolic acids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, etc. Relevant in vivo and in vitro studies have concluded that it has beneficial effects in terms of treating dyslipidemia, hy...

The interfacial effect is important for anodes of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to achieve superior lithium-ion storage performance. In this paper, a MoS2/FeS2 heterojunction is synthesized by a simple hydrothermal reaction to construct the...

The rational synthesis of zeolites with designed morphology is a highly challenging task. In this study, we propose 1,5-bis(methylpiperidine)pentylammonium hydroxide (BMPPAOH) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) based on theoretical calcul...

Terminalia canescens DC. Radlk. (family: Combretaceae) is native to northern Australia. Species of the genus Terminalia are widely used as traditional medicines to treat diverse ailments, including bacterial infections. However, we were unable to fin...
