Iridium (Ir) catalysts are essential for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs), but their high cost, scarcity, and geographical ...

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are an emerging class of therapeutic agents for anticancer treatments by degrading intracellular proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, ...

Fluorescence imaging in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) window enables deeper tissue and higher-contrast visualization of pathological events compared to that in the conventional near-infrared (NIR) ...

Computational models of the glucoregulatory system constitute a powerful tool for preclinical evaluation and mechanistic insight into therapeutics. However, in the case of diabetes, there is a dearth ...

Permethrin, a commonly used type I pyrethroid insecticide, has been shown to induce insulin resistance and adipogenesis, however the molecular mechanisms driving these effects remain unclear. This ...

Aqueous pH-neutral organic redox flow batteries are emerging as viable solutions for sustainable grid-scale energy storage. However, their advancement is hindered by the limited availability of ...

Au nanoclusters (NCs), with discrete electronic structures and tunable properties, are promising building blocks for nanoelectronics. However, maximizing their potential requires a deeper ...

Layered materials have emerged as a promising platform for the rational design of high-performance electrodes in rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (RMBs). The presence of weakly bonded van der ...

Major challenges remain to precisely detect low-abundance proteins rapidly and cost-effectively from diverse biofluids. Here, we present a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-supported, rapid electronic ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics. This study uses alchemical free energy simulations to design ultrashort, cationic, broad-spectrum membrane-active ...

Ion exchange shows promise for recovering phosphate from wastewater as value-added products but requires high phosphate selectivity to compete with conventional treatment. Hybrid anion exchange (HAIX) ...

Frequency upconversion provides a feasible strategy for switching the resonant wavelength of lasing modes. However, this nonlinear process requires extremely high optical properties for the medium.
