Many ubiquitous dangerous microbial lines could originate in different sources of polluted water and be distributed to tap water, which could cause multiple types of illnesses to humans and livestock. Despite enormous attempts to guarantee safety of potable water, these species are still regarded to be threated prevalent health issues and concerns. However, these species need a powerful disinfectant to be removed from contaminated water for receiving clean and healthy water. This study was therefore conducted to produce magnificent magnetic iron titanate zinc nano-particles (ZnTiFeO MNPs) as a sophisticated approach for drinking water (DW) and wastewater purification. The identification of crystalline phase, dielectric and terahertz spectroscopy of iron zinc titanate nanostructure prepared via acidic sol-gel process and calcined at 800 °C. Results show that the formation of cubic structure for ZnTiO phase, and the dielectric constant (ε') decreased with the higher frequency, tan (δ) has higher values at lower frequency and the conductivity increases relatively with frequency that attributes to the high resistive grain boundaries. Absorption coefficient, refractive index and dielectric properties of iron zinc titanate nano-particles was estimated via time domain-terahertz spectrometer and adjusted via the applied electric field. In particular, the Gram-negative bacteria were more prone than other microbes tested to the Magnetic Nano-Particles (MNPs). Results also was ascertained that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 25 ppm at 30 min for and , 45 min for , and and 60 min for with a noticeable bactericidal impact. Results exhibit that the MNPs explored are non-toxic and protected for individuals and the environment. MNPs can, therefore, be proposed as an expedient and impressive nano-scale applicant for inactivation during the drinking water and wastewater conservation of the prevailing dangerous microbes.

Pharmaceuticals, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (IBU) and naproxen (NPX), are widely used for medical purposes but have also become prevalent environmental contaminants. However, there is limited understanding of their effects on aquatic organisms, especially regarding multigenerational and mixture exposures. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicological impacts of ibuprofen and naproxen, individually and in combination, on three generations of Daphnia carinata, a freshwater organism.

Developing sustainable structural materials to replace traditional carbon-intensive structural materials fundamentally reshapes the concept of circular development. Herein, we propose an interface engineering strategy that utilizes water as a liquid medium to replace the residual air within natural wood. This approach minimizes the absorption of water-based softening agents by microcapillary channels of wood, enabling the controlled softening of the cell walls.

Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental and health problem due to the toxicity and persistence of metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in water, soil, and air. Advances in sensor technology have significantly improved the detection and quantification of heavy metals, providing real-time monitoring and mitigation tools. This review explores recent developments in heavy metal detection, focusing on innovative uses of immobilized chromogenic reagents, nanomaterials, perovskites, and nanozymes.

A new twofold interpenetrated 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, poly[[μ-aqua-diaqua{μ-2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetato}barium(II)] dihydrate], {[Ba(CHNO)(HO)]·2HO}, (I), has been assembled through a combination of the reaction of 2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetic acid (TPBA, HL) with barium hydroxide and crystallization at low temperature. In the crystal structure of (I), the nine-coordinated Ba ions are bridged by two μ-aqua ligands and two carboxylate μ-O atoms to form a 1D loop-like Ba-O chain, which, together with the other two coordinated water molecules and μ-carboxylate groups, produces a rod-like secondary building unit (SBU). The resultant 1D polynuclear SBUs are further extended into a 3D MOF via the terephthalamide moiety of the ligand as a spacer.

Migrasomes, the vesicle-like membrane micro-structures, arise on the retraction fibers (RFs), the branched nano-tubules pulled out of cell plasma membranes during cell migration and shaped by membrane tension. Migrasomes form in two steps: a local RF bulging is followed by a protein-dependent stabilization of the emerging spherical bulge. Here we addressed theoretically and experimentally the previously unexplored mechanism of bulging of membrane tubular systems.
