Coupled Chemical and Mechanical Control of the Pore Size in Carbon Honeycomb Membranes for Water Desalination

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The advancement of 3D carbon nanostructures for next‐generation desalination membranes is hindered by limited control of the pore size to ensure effective salt rejection. Chemical functionalization and mechanical modification are known approaches to address the problem, while the combined effect of the two approaches remains unexplored.

MIL-Derived Hollow Tubulous-Shaped In₂O₃/ZnIn₂S₄ Z-Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Antibacterial Performance via In Situ Composite

Nanomaterials
In this study, a hollow tubulous-shaped In2O3 derived from MIL (MIL-68 (In)) exhibited an enhanced specific surface area compared to MIL. To further sensitize In2O3, ZnIn2S4 was grown in situ on the derived In2O3.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Hafnium Nanostructures Fabricated by Physical Vapor Deposition Through a Colloidal Mask

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
We generate hafnium nanostructures by first depositing polystyrene particles of varying diameter followed by physical vapour deposition of hafnium thin films. The resultant structure shows a kill‐on‐contact effect against both Gram‐negative Escherichia coli and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Bioelectrical Interfaces Beyond Excitable Cells: Cancer, Aging, and Gene Expression Modulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The investigation of biological conductivity has evolved from its classical foundation based on ionic fluxes underpinning cardiac and neuronal excitability to a multifaceted regulator of cellular physiology. Traditional approaches for probing electrical events in living matter focused largely on action potentials recording.
