Novel PTFE/PI Nanofibrous Composite Membranes Enabling High‐Flux Desalination and Durable Anti‐Scaling in Membrane Distillation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration comparing the MD performance of pure PTFE NFMs and PTFE/PI NFMs. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are widely recognized for their low surface energy and strong resistance to salt accumulation in membrane distillation (MD) processes.

Visible Photosensitizing Disinfectant Spray for Combating Multidrug‐Resistant Candidozyma Auris in Healthcare Settings

Exploration, EarlyView.
We designed and synthesized a dual‐type AIE photosensitizer (named TB) spray, containing a cationic quaternary ammonium unit and a glycosyl‐targeted boronic acid moiety, characterized for the elimination of biofilm infections of Candidozyma auris (C. auris) on high‐touch surfaces.

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
