The global pandemic of COVID-19 is an example of how quickly a disease-causing virus can take root and threaten our civilization. Nowadays, ultrasensitive and rapid detection of contagious pathogens is in high demand. Here, we present a novel hierarchically porous 3-dimensional magnetic molybdenum trioxide-polydopamine-gold functionalized nanosphere (3D mag-MoO-PDA@Au NS) composed of plasmonic, semiconductor, and magnetic nanoparticles as a multifunctional nanosculptured hybrid.

Fine control of structural and morphological features in electrochromic materials is of paramount importance for realizing practical electrochromic devices (ECDs), which can dynamically adjust indoor light and temperature of buildings. To this end, herein we investigate impacts of two variants such as Ti-doping amount and the annealing temperature on physical and chemical properties of sol-gel derived electrochromic WO films. We use a wide range of titanium coupling agents (TCAs) as Ti-dopants ranging from 0 wt% to 20 wt% and vary the annealing temperature between 200 °C and 400 °C with 50 °C interval.

An in-depth understanding of thermal behavior and phase evolution is required to apply heterostructured nanowires (NWs) in real devices. The intermediate status during the vaporization process of InAs NWs in an AlO shell was studied by conducting quenching during heating experiments, using a transmission electron microscope. The formation of As clusters in the amorphous AlO shell was confirmed by analyzing the high-angle annular dark field images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectra.

Solar-to-steam generation characterized by nanostructured photothermal materials and interfacial heating is developed based on various carbon nanostructures such as graphene, reduced graphene oxide, CNT, or their combinations. However, multiple and sophisticated synthetic steps are required to generate macroscopic porosity in photothermal devices for the efficient mass transport of water and generated steam. Additionally, the fabrication of photothermal layers on a practical scale constitutes the main hurdle for real applications toward solar-driven desalination.

In this study, we formulate three-dimensionally (3D) printable composite pastes employing electrostatically assembled-hybrid carbon and a polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene tri-block copolymer elastomer for the fabrication of multi-stack printed piezoresistive pressure sensor arrays. To address a critical drawback of piezoresistive composite materials, we have developed a previously unrecognized strategy of incorporating a non-ionic amphiphilic surfactant, sorbitan trioleate, into composite materials. It is revealed that the surfactant with an appropriate amphiphilic property, represented by the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) index of 1.

Although PEBAX-1657 is one of the promising polymeric materials for selective CO separation, there remain many questions about the optimal polymeric structure and possibility of improving performance without adulterating its basic structure by impregnating inorganic fillers. In order to improve the gas separation performance, low thickness PEBAX membranes were synthesized under steady solvent evaporation conditions by keeping in mind that one of its segments (nylon 6) shows structural variance and molecular orientation with a change in the evaporation rate. Furthermore, phase pure zeolite nanocrystals with cubic (zeolite A) and octahedral (zeolite Y) shapes have been synthesized through liquid phase routes using microwave hydrothermal reactors.

Cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) are emerging diagnostic biomarkers for monitoring the treatment and recurrence of cancers. In particular, the biological role and clinical usefulness of cfNAs obtained from the plasma of patients with various cancers are popular and still intensely explored, yet most studies are limited by technical problems during cfNA isolation. A dimethyl dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP)-based microchannel platform that enables spontaneous cfNA capture in 15 min with minimal cellular background and no requirements for use of bulky instruments is reported first.

Herein, a facile method is reported for the preparation of helically decorated microbuilding blocks, using a modified electrohydrodynamic cojetting method. Bicompartmental microfibers are twisted in situ, during electrojetting, resulting in helical microfibers.

We design a novel method for the CH reduction of SnO for the efficient recovery of Sn from SnO through a study combining theory and experiment. The atomic-level process of CH-SnO interaction and temperature-dependent reduction behavior of SnO were studied with a combination of a multi-scale computational method of thermodynamic simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that CH was a highly efficient and a versatile reducing agent, as the total reducing power of CH originates from the carbon and hydrogen of CH, which sequentially reduce SnO.
