This study demonstrates that untreated Popocatépetl volcanic ash serves as a cost-effective, sustainable, and highly efficient iron-bearing photocatalyst for degrading ciprofloxacin in water, outperforming commercial TiO2 P25 and offering a viable solution for antibiotic remediation in low-resource regions.
This study demonstrates that coating polypropylene separators with a multifunctional hierarchical AlOOH/Al₂O₃ composite significantly enhances thermal stability and ionic conductivity, thereby enabling safer and faster-charging lithium-ion batteries with superior long-term cycling performance compared to commercial separators.
This study evaluates the stability of South African commercial and extemporaneously prepared CBD topical oil-in-water emulsions, finding that while light and heat generally degrade CBD, commercially available gels and high-viscosity Pickering emulsions (stabilized by Aerosil® R974) offer superior stability compared to other formulations like tissue oils.
This study reports the aspartic acid-mediated synthesis of tetraketone and xanthene derivatives in aqueous medium, identifying specific tetraketone compounds as promising anti-tubercular agents against *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* H37Rv and as selective "turn-off" fluorescent sensors for Fe³⁺ ions.
This paper presents an AI-driven framework (AINEOF) that optimizes nanostructured transition-metal electrocatalysts to achieve record-breaking efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness in green hydrogen production, significantly outperforming conventional state-of-the-art methods.
This study develops and validates a semi-empirical thermodynamic framework incorporating group-structured molecular descriptors to accurately model the non-ideal vapor–liquid equilibrium behavior of biodiesel–ethanol mixtures, achieving significantly lower prediction errors than conventional Raoult's law.
This study presents a machine-learning framework built on a curated refractory high-entropy alloy dataset that not only achieves high predictive accuracy for phase stability but also reveals that significant mismatches in constituent elements' most stable oxidation states drive intermetallic formation, thereby guiding the successful experimental discovery of new single-phase RHEAs.
This study demonstrates that modifying crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) with 1.0 phr maleic anhydride (MAH) via melt grafting significantly suppresses water-tree aging and enhances AC breakdown strength, while maintaining favorable dielectric properties.
Novel thermally stable poly(amide-imide)s were successfully synthesized via direct polycondensation of aromatic diamines and dicarboxylic acid derivatives, yielding high-molecular-weight materials with excellent solubility, film-forming ability, and thermal resistance suitable for advanced engineering applications.
This paper presents a unified, implementation-level formulation of the Bond-Orbital Projection (BOP) algorithm for calculating Electron Density of Delocalized Bonds (EDDB), demonstrating through tests on a 360-atom porphyrin nanoring that compact valence basis sets offer a highly efficient and accurate alternative to full natural atomic orbital representations for analyzing delocalization in large molecular systems.
