3D Bioinspired Hair‐Based Solar Evaporator for Efficient Water Harvesting
A bio‐derived solar evaporator inspired by blackbody radiation is developed using human hair waste. The vertically aligned hair structure enables broadband light absorption, efficient thermal localization, and rapid water transport, achieving high evaporation rates and stable desalination performance.

On the characterization of NaDEHP/n-heptane nonaqueous reverse micelles: The effect of the polar solvent [PDF]
The behavior of two polar solvents, ethylene glycol (EG) and dimethylformamide (DMF), entrapped in sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (NaDEHP)/n-heptane reverse micelles (RMs) was investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), molecular probe ...

Enzyme‐Regulated Extended Swelling of Hydrogels for Dehiscence‐Less Tissue Expansions
An interpenetrating hydrogel network with swelling under regulation by enzymatic degradation (INSURED) is fabricated to avoid dehiscence. INSURED remains structurally intact post‐implantation, while HYAL injection enables control over the onset and rate of swelling.

Effects of Low Carbohydrate High Protein (LCHP) diet on atherosclerotic plaque phenotype in $ApoE/LDLR^{-/-}$ mice : FT-IR and Raman imaging [PDF]
Low Carbohydrate High Protein (LCHP) diet displays pro-atherogenic effects, however, the exact mechanisms involved are still unclear. Here, with the use of vibrational imaging, such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman (RS) spectroscopies, we ...

This study demonstrates that pulsed potential electrolysis significantly improves CO2 reduction performance on copper‐nitrogen doped carbon electrodes. The formation of cationic copper sites and metallic clusters as a function of applied intermittent potential leads to notable selectivity changes compared to potentiostatic reduction.

Molecular Spectroscopy as an alternative for dating Textiles
Ancient linen textiles undergo with time a slow change reflected in their Infrared and Raman spectra. The recording of FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra, that reveals a disappearance of some bands and appearance of other ones during the centuries, enables a ...

XRD AND IR INVESTIGATIONS OF SOME COMMERCIAL POLYSTYRENE SAMPLES THERMALLY DEGRADED
Thermal degradation of commercial polystyrene was investigated by XRD and FT-IR methods. The samples were heated 30 minutes at temperatures 140ºC, 200ºC, 250ºC, 300ºC and 350ºC and then brought back to room temperature.
