Amorphous carbon (a-C) represents a broad and technologically relevant class of carbonaceous materials whose rich morphological diversity, characterized by nanoporosity and defective networks, endows...

Superfluid helium nanodroplets act as ultracold, nanoscale “cryostats” that enable the synthesis of exceptionally pure metallic, bimetallic, and hybrid nanoparticles with precise control over size and...

Carbon dioxide adsorption thermodynamics in the metal–organic framework CALF-20, a hydrothermally stable candidate for carbon capture, are predicted using two complementary approaches. An analytical a...

Removal of chronic excess phosphates in blood is critical for patients suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD patients can be treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), during which phosphate...

This study investigates the performance of zero-valent iron (ZVI) impregnated apricot stone-derived biochar (ZVI/ASB) for the removal of atenolol (ATL), a widely detected pharmaceutical pollutant, fro...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) powered by hydrogen are promising for a wide range of energy-conversion applications, with Nafion remaining the most widely used membrane material. Here, b...

Carbon dots (CDs) are nanoscale carbon materials with tunable optical properties, low toxicity, and modular functionalization, making them a promising material for biomedical applications. For safe an...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent a promising platform for advanced drug and gene delivery, yet optimizing these particles for specific cargos and cell targets poses a complex multifaceted challeng...

We present a comprehensive DFT investigation of CO adsorption on six-atom coinage metal clusters (Cu6, Ag6, Au6) and their bimetallic analogues (Ag3Cu3, Au3Cu3, Au3Ag3), both in the gas phase and supp...
