Fruit preservation materials play an instrumental role in preventing fruit deterioration and extending shelf life. However, existing fresh-keeping materials often prove inadequate in simultaneously achieving antibacterial properties, maintaining freshness, antioxidant effects, good biocompatibility, and prolonged fruit shelf life. Therefore, we present the first preparation of a natural polysaccharide spray hydrogel (Q/O/Zn hydrogel), loaded with chlorogenic acid‑zinc nanoparticles (CA@ZnNPs), utilizing quaternary ammonium insect chitosan (QECS) and oxidized pullulan (OPUL) for the preservation of perishable fruits.

Most of the photocatalytic reactions are currently driven by high-energy light (UV, blue light), which inevitably leads to side reactions and co-catalyst deactivation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prepare novel photocatalysts with low-energy photocatalytic properties. Herein, we report a rational molecular design of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) equipped with donor-π-acceptor systems with different π-bridges (aromatic ring, mono- and bis-alkynyl).

We present a comprehensive spectroscopic study supported by theoretical quantum chemical calculations conducted on a molecular system (4-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (C1) and the antibiotic Amphotericin B (AmB)) that exhibits highly synergistic properties. We previously reported the strong synergism of this molecular system and now wish to present related stationary measurements of UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence anisotropy in a polar, aprotic solvent (DMSO and a PBS buffer), followed by time-resolved fluorescence intensity and anisotropy decay studies using different ratios of the selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivative to Amphotericin B. Absorption spectra measured for the system revealed discrepancies in terms of the shapes of absorption bands, particularly in PBS.

Machine learning interatomic potentials, as a modern generation of classical force fields, take atomic environments as input and predict the corresponding atomic energies and forces. We challenge the commonly accepted assumption that the contribution of an atom can be learned from the short-range local environment of that atom. We employ density functional theory calculations to quantify the decay of the induced electron density and electrostatic potential in response to local perturbations throughout insulating, semiconducting and metallic samples of different dimensionalities.

The concept of the symplectic covariance property of the Wigner distribution function and the symplectic invariance of the Wigner-Rényi entropies has been leveraged to estimate the interaction time of the moving quantum state in the presence of an absolutely integrable time-dependent potential. For this study, the considered scattering centre is represented initially by the Gaussian barrier. Two modifications of this potential energy are considered: a sudden change from barrier to barrier and from barrier to well.
