We report a method to prepare biocompatible, stable, and highly pure iron oxide nano-minerals by following the steps consisting of: (i) amplifying magnetotactic bacteria in non-toxic minimal growth media; (ii) extracting magnetosomes from magnetotactic bacteria under alkaline lysis; (iii) heating magnetosomes above 400 °C to yield sterile magnetoso...

Elucidating the mechanism of chiral transfer is key to regulating chiral expression and generalizing the structure-property relationship of chiral functional systems. However, it is still an important challenge to select novel building blocks to achieve chiral induction, chiral transfer and chiral modulation. Liquid crystals (LCs) can be considered...

Mesoporous systems are ubiquitous in membrane science and applications due to their high internal surface area and tunable pore size. A new synthesis pathway of hydrolytic ionosilica films with mesopores formed by ionic liquid (IL) templating is proposed and compared with the traditional non-hydrolytic strategy. For both pathways, the multi-scale f...

The design of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials (EWAMs) has aroused great attention with the express development of electromagnetic devices, which pose a severe EM pollution risk to human health. Herein, an Ag-doped MoCx composite was designed and constructed through a UV-light-induced self-reduction process. The UV-reduction time was contro...

Carbon has been widely used as an electrode material in commercial metal-ion batteries (MIBs) because of its desirable electrical, mechanical, and physical properties. Still, traditional carbon electrodes suffer from limited mechanical stability and electrochemical performance in MIBs. Drawing inspiration from biological species, the carbon allotro...

While the filtering and accumulation effects of the extracellular matrix (ECM) on nanoparticles (NPs) have been experimentally observed, the detailed interactions between NPs and specific biomolecules within the ECM remain poorly understood and pose challenges for in vivo molecular-level investigations. Herein, we adopt molecular dynamics simulatio...

Herein, we present the investigation of the visible light transparency and optical limiting characteristics of one dimensional photonic crystals with LiNbO3 defects fabricated by the sputtering technique. Transmission spectroscopy measurements reveal a broad photonic band gap with a 1064 nm defect mode and high transmittance within the visible rang...

This paper describes the synthesis and analysis of a photocatalyst made from a combination of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) through a simple hydrothermal process. The effectiveness of the N-rGO/g-C3N4 heterostructure in photocatalysis was examined by studying the breakdown of different types of organic pollutant...
