The substitution of traditional packaging with bio-based edible films has emerged as a new research direction. The starch biopolymer films currently studied by researchers exhibit issues such as inadequate physical properties, barrier performance, mechanical strength, and biological activity. Consequently, a range of advanced techniques are employed to enhance the properties of biopolymer films.

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a minimally invasive, non-thermal tumor ablation technique that induces nanoscale membrane perforation, leading to immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, IRE alone is limited by uneven electric field attenuation, incomplete tumor ablation, and the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment. To address these challenges, a multifunctional nanomaterial, vermiculite nanosheets/calcium peroxide nanosheets (VMT/CaO NSs), is developed to enhance the efficacy of IRE.

However, materials featuring excellent harvesting and utilization of solar energy are still needed. Here, we report a photo-thermal catalyst architecture based on carbon-coated urchin-like silica nanospheres (KCC-1) decorated with Ru nanoparticles that maximizes light absorption and heat confinement.

The global dietary trend is shifting toward gluten-free crops with high nutritional value, driven by growing consumer awareness of environmental and health benefits of foods and food ingredients. Quinoa, a potential functional dietary ingredient, is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This review examines the impact of various processing methods, including thermal treatments (boiling, steaming, roasting), non-thermal techniques (germination, fermentation, microwave treatment, gamma irradiation, high hydrostatic pressure, and atmospheric pressure cold plasma), on the quality parameters of quinoa.

Facial aging involves structural changes in the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and skeletal framework. Ultra-Pulse Shockwave (UPSW) therapy, a non-thermal, high-frequency shockwave technology, has emerged as a promising, non-invasive option for facial rejuvenation. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of UPSW in improving skin texture, reducing subcutaneous fat, and enhancing skin tightness.
