Background: While machine learning has advanced molecular conformation generation, existing models often suffer from limited generalization and inaccuracies, especially for complex molecular structures. These limitations hinder their reliability in d...
Fabrication of magnetic materials via a facile and environmentally favorable process with high self-heating performance is quite favored for biomedical applications. To tackle this challenge, magnetic ferrite nanoparticles were developed through an u...
Use of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is a promising approach to enhance the electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric polymers. This is usually achieved by a composition method, and polymer processing near the MPB to tune electrocaloric response...
The critical micelle concentration (CMC) is a fundamental physicochemical property of surfactants with significant implications across multiple industries. This paper presents an uncertainty-aware graph neural network (GNN) that integrates molecular...
To reveal the core mechanism of copper-based materials in catalyzing ammonium perchlorate (AP) decomposition, three copper-based materials with the simplest structures (Cu, Cu2O and CuO) are selected as research objects. This study systematically inv...
Vividly colored cholesteric liquid crystal polymer network (CLCN) patterns based on epoxy resin are used in decorative and anti-counterfeiting applications. These films are typically prepared via cationic photopolymerization and post-polymerization t...
The search for new antibacterial agents is an important task due to the emergence of resistance to widely used drugs. Bromine-, chlorine-, and nitro-substituted phenyl ring azomethines with long alkyl chains (C12, C14, C16, and C18) were synthesized...
In this study, the corrosion behavior of pure aluminum in methyl esters with different degrees of unsaturation and chain lengths, as found in biodiesel, was investigated using electrochemical techniques. The methyl esters evaluated included methyl ac...
The inadequate biosafety of MRI contrast agents (CAs) remains a challenging issue. Both increasing the magnetic relaxivity of CAs and targeting them through conjugation with folates are promising approaches to addressing this issue. Silica nanopartic...
Visible-light photocatalysis enables the integration of classical electrophile/nucleophile chemistry with radical species (free radicals, radical cations, and radical anions) and metallocomplexes, significantly expanding the scope of organic transfor...
Natural plant-based resources are rich in bioactive compounds that offer promising alternatives for developing sustainable, functional textiles. This study focuses on the extraction and application of natural dyes from Gardenia jasminoides as an eco-...
Porous Cu/Cu2O catalytic materials with a unique pore structure were successfully synthesized via a one-step solvothermal method using Cu-MOF-74 as the intermediate, followed by induced collapse and oxidation. The structural properties and catalytic...
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) is a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase mediating multiple cellular functions, such as differentiation, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. Because of their ability to alter carcinogenic pathways, GSK...
To address the challenge of removing copper from copper–ammonia complex wastewater in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry, this study employed natural chitosan (CTS) as the base material. Dithiocarbamate (DTC) groups were grafted onto CTS,...
This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a new molecular hybrid 4, created by combining 1,4-naphthoquinone with the drug zidovudine (AZT) through an azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction catalyzed by Cu1+. In vitro studies assessed the a...
The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) represents a transformative approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions while producing sustainable fuels and chemicals, with ethanol being particularly promising due to its compatibility with ex...
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important source of bioactive compounds with high antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial properties. However, these compounds are susceptible to degradation by light, oxygen, pH, and temperature, which limits their fu...
Alkyl-substituted pyridines are ubiquitous structural motifs found in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional organic materials. However, their direct synthesis remains challenging because of the electron-deficient nature of...
