The strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) in carbonates can serve as a fundamental geochemical indicator holding an indispensable status in both modern and paleo-geochemical investigations. Though thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is widely used as the most accurate technique for 87Sr/86Sr isotope analysis, an i

The Norfolk Southern train derailment on February 3, 2023, in East Palestine, Ohio, prompted concerns about the health impacts from the chemical spills and open-air combustion. We hypothesize that the...

Loading drug nanovectors with a high quantity of near-infrared organic dye considerably increases their absorption cross-section and favors their detection as theranostic agents with photoacoustic ima...

Contamination of drinking water by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) emitted from manufacturing plants, fire-fighting foams, and urban waste streams has received considerable attention due t...

Self-improvement process sees ruthenium clusters transition from amorphous shapes to truncated nanopyramids

This study investigates optimal 4D-STEM data acquisition parameters for low-dose electron ptychography, achieving near-atomic-resolution ( ~ 2 Å) reconstruction at electron doses of ~100 e−/Å2 on high...

The high salinity and organic content in oil and gas wastewaters can cause ion suppression during liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis, diminishing the sensitivity and accuracy of ...

Forward trajectories of trans-Atlantic dust plumes were studied over a 14 year period (N ∼500 000) with a focus on ambient meteorological conditions affecting the survivability of the microorganisms c...

Save the Date! 🎉 The #RSCPoster competition is celebrating its 10th year on LinkedIn between 12 midday 4 March to 12 midday (UK time) 5 March 2025. Get ready…

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a widely used plastic material that poses significant environmental challenges due to its resistance to degradation. While mealworms have been reported to degrade EPS, se...

To understand community impacts and needs after the August 2023 Maui wildfires, we conducted a rapid survey-based field investigation two weeks after the incident. During the fires, municipal water cu...

Siderite (FeCO3) is an important reservoir of mineral-bound ferrous iron in non-sulfidic, reducing soils and sediments. It is redox sensitive, and its oxidation may facilitate the reduction of a range...

Microplastics (MPs) have become a key environmental issue over the last few decades. However, while previous studies have mainly focused on aquatic MP pollution, research on atmospheric MPs remains li...

The nanoscale chiral arrangement in a bicomponent organic material system comprising donor and acceptor small molecules is shown to depend on the thickness of a film that is responsive to chiral light...

Fenpyrazamine (FPA) is a widely used fungicide in agriculture to control fungal diseases, but its environmental degradation by oxidants and the formation of potential degradation products remain unexp...

A new and simple methodology to mechanically addressable molecular conductance switches with large conductance variations (~103) between high- and low-G states is presented. By chemical design, rotat...

We report the development of peptide-glycosaminoglycan hydrogels as injectable biomaterials for load-bearing soft tissue repair. The hydrogels are injectable as a liquid for clinical delivery, rapidly...
