Emerging organic pollutants, principally antibiotics, synthetic dyes and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), persist in aquatic systems because of chemical stability, incomplete metabolic transformation and limited removal in conventional bio...
Gold nanoparticles have become increasingly important because of their broad range of applications, especially in healthcare and life sciences. Hence, there is a growing need for greener synthesis methods that are both accessible and robust. Synthese...
Porous polymer nanocomposites incorporating metal oxide nanoparticles (SiO2, ZrO2, and TiO2) were synthesized via the aza–Michael addition reaction of ethyleneamines with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) under polymerization-induced pha...
Hydrolates are aqueous co-products of aromatic-plant distillation whose composition and functionality differ from those of the corresponding essential oils. This critical review links botanical source, distillation conditions, chemical composition, q...
Burns injuries present critical health and care challenges and remain one of the leading causes of preventable morbidity globally. The pathophysiology of burns injuries combines barrier disruption, dysregulated inflammation and biofilm-driven polymic...
Self-assembled artificial nanostructures, such as DNA origami, have attracted interest as templates for the placement of inorganic materials because their design enables the incorporation of binding sites for attaching nanocomponents with nanometer-s...
Photocatalytic water splitting has emerged as a promising strategy for sustainable hydrogen production using solar energy. In this work, we investigate the photocatalytic performance of the C2N monolayer under O2 and O3 exposure. Upon adsorption on C...
Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) is an environmental contaminant known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, and its removal poses a critical environmental challenge. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the adsorption of the DMP molecule and...
Altermagnets combine compensated magnetic order with momentum-dependent spin splitting, enabling Berry-curvature control without net magnetization. Here we investigate mechanically driven altermagnet–topological-insulator (AM/TI) interfaces in...
Modern aquaculture is essential for meeting the increasing global demand for fish and seafood, but its rapid expansion has exposed limitations that threaten long-term sustainability. Major challenges include high disease outbreaks, low nutritional ef...
Silicon carbide (SiC) is the leading wide-bandgap semiconductor material, providing mature doping and device fabrication. Additionally, SiC hosts a multitude of optically active point defects (color centers) and is relevant for many applications in q...
The present work analyzes light propagation in asymmetric waveguides with dielectric cores and anisotropic multilayer claddings based on nanometric planar hyperbolic metamaterials. A generalized definition of asymmetry, incorporating both structural...
Supercapacitors are widely used in high-power-density applications due to their ability to deliver rapid energy bursts and fast recharging. The incorporation of naturally derived materials into supercapacitor electrodes offers notable advantages in t...
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a key reactive oxygen species involved in both cellular signaling and oxidative stress, making its reliable detection essential in biological and environmental systems. Electrochemical sensing has emerged as a promising ap...
