The behavior of S and Cs during the alternate adsorption of each adsorbate on the Ni(100) surface is studied at room and elevated temperatures by means of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), thermal desorption s...

Oily wastewater is a critical environmental concern, and the high costs and fouling of conventional membranes drive the search for low-cost, efficient alternatives. This study evaluates surface-modified quartz particles for oil–water separation...

Wood and bamboo products with log-term carbon storage, less energy consumption, and CO2 emission face the challenge of fungal infection. Their antifungal property can be enhanced by Cu-based nanoparticles. Herein, Cu2O-coated Cu (Cu2O@Cu) aggregates...

W/Si multilayer mirrors are a promising candidate for soft X-ray applications at wavelengths below 2.4 nm. However, their optical performance is strongly affected by interface roughness and interlayer mixing, which limits reflectivity. One approach t...

The integration of emulsion gels in 3D food printing has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance both the structural fidelity and functional performance of printed foods. Emulsion gels, composed of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and their comp...

To study the adsorption of lanthanide (Ln) atoms on graphene containing a Stone–Wales defect, we used a cluster model (SWG) and performed calculations at the PBE-D2/DNP level of the density functional theory. Our previous study, where the above...

Adhesion of cell membranes is relevant to many biological processes and arises from the specific binding of membrane-anchored receptor proteins to their ligands present in the apposing membrane. Here, we employ a statistical–mechanical model an...

Organic and pharmaceutical pollution of water is a serious problem, particularly when it comes to drinking and groundwater. Although some evaluations indicate that these pollutants are unlikely to be at current exposure levels, they are often detecte...

Surface modification of carbon fibers (CFs) is a critical step in preparing carbon fiber-reinforced composites. This study developed a continuous experimental process that integrates electrochemical anodic oxidation and chemical vapor deposition to f...

Although the exponential increase in photovoltaic installations does contribute to mitigating climate change, it has posed the problem of photovoltaic (PV) residue. As PV panels contain strategic metals, their recovery has become a priority. This pap...
