Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized sequence-based research. In recent years, high-throughput sequencing has become the method of choice in studying the toxicity of chemical agents through observing and measuring changes in transcript levels. Engineered nanomaterial (ENM)-toxicity has become a major field of research and has adopted microarray and newer RNA-Seq methods. Recently, nanotechnology has become a promising tool in the diagnosis and treatment of several diseases in humans. However, due to their high stability, they are likely capable of remaining in the body and environment for long periods of time. Their mechanisms of toxicity and long-lasting effects on our health is still poorly understood. This review explores the effects of three ENMs including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), quantum dots (QDs), and Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) by cross examining publications on transcriptomic changes induced by these nanomaterials.

Exploiting cost-effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts is crucial for sustainable hydrogen production. However, currently reported nanocatalysts usually cannot simultaneously sustain high catalytic activity and long-term durability. Here, we report the efficient synthesis and activity tailoring of a chainmail catalyst, isolated platinum atom anchored tungsten carbide nanocrystals encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes (Pt/WC@CNTs), by confined flash Joule heating technique.

Flexible two-dimensional nickel-cobalt metal-organic frameworks/graphene oxide/carbon nanotubes (2D NiCo-MOF/GO/CNTs) hybrid films have been designed and prepared as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials vacuum filtration. The 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets serve as the main source of capacitance for the hybrid films, while CNTs function as both the conductive network, enhancing the electrical conductivity of the MOFs, and the binder, linking the 2D NiCo-MOF nanosheets and GO. When the mass ratio of 2D NiCo-MOF, GO, and CNTs is 2 : 1 : 0.

To rival commercial organic electrolytes, it is important to focus on safe, cheap aqueous electrolytes with lower salt concentration (≈5.0 m) and a wider electrochemical stable potential window (ESPW). This study reports the facile synthesis of porphyrin-based covalent organic polymers (PTZ-COP, CBZ-COP, and TPA-COP) through a one-pot aromatic electrophilic polycondensation reaction between pyrrole and monomeric aldehydes (PTZ-CHO, CBZ-CHO and TPA-CHO).

Electrolyte wettability significantly effects the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, buoyancy testing is employed to accurately measure the force-time curve of electrolyte penetration into the electrodes and thereby calculate the wettability rate. Electrochemical performance is comprehensively evaluated through CR2025 coin half-cell testing, four-point probe analysis, and C-rate cycling experiments.

Tetra-Penta-Deca-Hexa graphene (TPDH) is a new two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope with attractive electronic and mechanical properties. It is composed of tetragonal, pentagonal, decagonal and hexagonal carbon rings. When TPDH graphene is sliced into quasi-one-dimensional (1D) structures such as nanoribbons, it exhibits a range of behaviors, from semimetallic to semiconducting.
