Developing efficient, multifunctional electrodes for energy storage and conversion devices is crucial. Herein, lattice strains are reported in the β-phase polymorph of CoMoO within CoMoO@CoO heterostructure via phosphorus doping (P-CoMoO@CoO) and used as a high-performance trifunctional electrode for supercapacitors (SCs), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolytes. A tensile strain of +2.

Despite their potential, implementing these advanced treatments in Africa is needed by a complex interplay of technological, economic, regulatory, and ethical challenges. This paper examines the current landscape of nanoparticle-based therapies, identifying critical barriers to their adoption, including inadequate infrastructure, high costs, and insufficient regulatory frameworks.

- Viral suppression is crucial for ending the HIV epidemic, yet youth living with HIV in Nigeria experience lower rates of viral suppression compared to adults; a study aimed to identify risk factors contributing to this issue.
- Out of 541 participants, 40% were found to be non-suppressed; significant risk factors included substance use, missed medication doses, and self-reported barriers to taking medication, while being on a first-line regimen and having supportive social networks reduced these risks.
- The findings highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial behaviors and medication adherence in youth with HIV to improve viral suppression rates and ultimately achieve ART goals.
