The alarming rise in atmospheric CO levels, primarily driven by fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes, has become a major contributor to global climate change. Effective CO capture technologies are urgently needed, particularly for the selective removal of CO from industrial gas streams, such as flue gas and biogas, which often contain impurities like N and CH. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of novel molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) and methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomers, and thiophene (Th) and formaldehyde (HC) as molecular templates.

This case report explores a rare and aggressive Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) in a 7-year-old child affecting nasal sinuses, maxilla, and orbit, an exceptionally uncommon pediatric manifestation unrelated to Neurofibromatosis 1. The child presented with alarming symptoms-nasal obstruction, snoring, epistaxis, and difficulty swallowing-underscoring the case's urgency. Non-contrast computed tomography revealed an extensive mass infiltrating nasopharynx, nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinuses, and orbit, causing destructive consequences.

Thorium (Th) and uranium (U) are important strategic resources in nuclear energy-based heavy industries such as energy and defense sectors that also generate significant radioactive waste in the process. The management of nuclear waste is therefore of paramount importance. Contamination of groundwater/surface water by Th/U is increasing at an alarming rate in certain geographical locations.
