The covalently attached monolayers of alkylsilanes (R(CH(3))(2)SiX) on Si undergo complete displacement by the solutions of different organosilanes (R'(CH(3))(2)SiX). By varying the reaction time, the degree of displacement can be controlled offering a convenient method for the preparation of surfaces with mixed functionalities (R and R').

Context: Hydrogen storage in porous nanostructured compounds have recently attracted a lot of attention due to the fact that the underlying adsorption mechanism and thermodynamics provide suitable platform for room temperature adsorption and desorption of H molecules. This work reports the findings of a study on the reversible hydrogen storage capacities of Sc and Y decorated C fullerene, conducted using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The transition metal (TM) atoms, such as Sc and Y, are identified to attach to the C-C bridge position of the C fullerene through non-covalent closed-shell interactions.

Article Synopsis
- New multipurpose prevention technologies for women prioritize reducing HIV risks and preventing unwanted pregnancies, promoting greater sexual health choices.
- A novel long-acting injectable platform combines the HIV drug MIV-150 and the contraceptive etonogestrel using a specially designed D-peptide that forms a drug-releasing hydrogel after injection.
- The technology shows promising biostability, low toxicity, and sustained delivery of both drugs in animal models for nearly 50 days, indicating its potential for effective long-term use.

DNA repair is a most important cellular process that helps maintain the integrity of the genome and is currently considered by researchers as one of the factors determining the maximum lifespan. The central regulator of the DNA repair process is the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1 (PARP1). PARP1 catalyzes the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR) upon DNA damage using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a substrate.

Polymeric nanoparticles surface functionalised with fluorescent molecules hold significant potential for advancing diagnostics and therapeutic delivery. Despite their promise, challenges persist in achieving robust attachment of fluorescent molecules for real-time tracking. Weak physical adsorption, pH-dependent electrostatic capture, and hydrophobic interactions often fail to achieve stable attachment of fluorescent markers.

Single-atom-based Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) hold great promising candidates for heterogeneous catalysis, demonstrating outstanding catalytic activity and exceptional product selectivity. This is attributed to their optimal atom utilization, high surface energy, and the presence of unsaturated coordination environments. Here in, we have developed a nickel single-atom catalyst (UiO-66/Ni) featuring Ni single atoms covalently attached to defect-engineered Zr-oxide clusters within the stable UiO-66 framework, synthesized via a straightforward solution impregnation method.
