Abstract The contamination of environmental waters with heavy metals and radionuclides is increasing because rapid industrial population growth. removal these contaminants from water via adsorption onto metal nanoparticles an efficient promising technique to abate the toxic effects associated pollutants. Among nanoparticle adsorbents, zinc oxide (ZnONPs) have received tremendous attention owing...

Malachite green (MG) residue in aquatic environments can adversely affect food chains. To solve this problem, many adsorbents have been developed to remove MG from aqueous solutions. These exhibit benefits different aspects such as low cost, nontoxicity, and environment friendliness. Zeolite, oyster shell powder (OSP), humic acid (HA), Chloride dioxide (ClO 2) are widely used agents for water p...

Cs2AgBiBr6, has recently gained wide attention as a possible alternative to lead-halide perovskites, considering the nontoxicity and improved stability. However, this double perovskite suffers from defects, especially deep electron traps, severely hampering photovoltaic performance. This work reports simple method control crystallization by adding volatile salts into precursor solution. X-ray d...

The decolorization of remelt syrup is the most critical step in sugar refining process as it directly affects quality refined sugar. Adsorption a useful method that can be applied to decolorize syrup. A quaternary ammonium-functionalized chitosan/graphene oxide composite aerogel (GO-QACSA) was developed an effective adsorbent for removal high-molecular-weight reducing alkaline degradation produ...

Up to two centuries ago patients were lucky to survive even minor surgical interventions without contracting life-endangering infections, and having to endure extreme distress. Such advances highlighted the importance of clean dressing and sterility. Lint, gauze and cotton rapidly replaced older types of dressings. Almost a century later another major advance occurred when Winter defined the ph...

The bioorthogonal chemical reporter strategy is emerging as a versatile method for the labeling of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. In this approach, an abiotic chemical functionality (reporter) is incorporated into a target biomolecule and can then react with a complementary bioorthogonal functional group linked to one of a diverse set of probes. The az...

The striking feature of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections is the production of Shiga toxins (Stx) implicated in the development of the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome. Despite the magnitude of the social impact of EHEC infections, no licensed vaccine or effective therapy is available for human use. One of the biggest challenges is to develop an effective and safe i...

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant disease with a 5-year survival rate <5% mainly due to lack of early diagnosis and effective therapy. In an effort to improve the early diagnostic rate of pancreatic cancer, a nanoprobe Fe3O4@SiO2 modified with anti-mesothelin antibody (A-MFS) was prepared to target cells and tumor tissues highly expressing mesothelin in vitro (human pancreatic cancer cell...
