Climate and demographic changes necessitate new paradigms to ensure equitable access to safe drinking water, limiting health, economic, and social damage from poor water management. Nanomaterials present promising opportunities in this area. This work addresses two relevant issues for safe water access: pota

Computational systems inspired by the human brain are being researched to minimize high power consumption and memory instability in traditional computers. Metal halide perovskites, having high light absorption and tunable bandgap, can precisely modulate electrical conductivity and are therefore considered as

Enzymes are highly complex nanomachines produced by cells with the ability to catalyse diverse chemical reactions. Their applications in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics are widespread. However, most enzymes suffer from poor operational and storage stability and high manufacturing costs. Identifying s

Promoting the thermoelectric properties of single-molecule junctions is a significant goal of a wide range of studies. Herein, the excellent consistency between current theoretical results and the experimental outcomes of previous studies helped establish a robust strategy for incorporating different transit

This study reports the development of copper-loaded polyamidoxime polymer brushes (Cu-AO-PB) as a heterogeneous catalyst via microwave-assisted graft polymerization for the first time. Microwave-assisted synthesis allows faster and more uniform heating, leading to shorter reaction times, more energy-efficien

Hybrid materials having dual applications in environmental monitoring and remediation are vital for mitigating pollution and economic benefits. In this regard, mesoporous silica is extensively studied compared to nano-silica materials due to challenges in controlling particle size morphology, and aggregation

Discovery of new materials plays a critical role in developing advanced high-temperature thermoelectric (TE) applications. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are one of the attractive candidates for high-temperature TE applications due to their thermal and chemical stability. However, the trade-off relationship

In recent years, ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) has garnered attention as a promising photocatalyst due to its attractive properties. However, its performance is hindered by its restricted range of visible light absorption and the rapid recombination of photoinduced holes and electrons. Single-atom co-catalysts (SACs) can im

We report the synthesis of two rotaxanes (1 and 2) whose rings have appended thiourea units for the selective recognition of Cl− anions. Rotaxane 1 transports Cl− across synthetic lipid bilayers more efficiently than 2, exhibiting EC50 values of 0.243 mol% versus 0.736 mol%, respectively. A control rotaxane
