Recently, the quest for high-Tc superconductors has evolved from the trial-and-error methodology to the growth of nanostructured artificial high-Tc superlattices (AHTSs) with tailor-made superconducting functional properties by quantum design. Here,...
: Prismatic crystals of partially potassium substituted lead fluorapatite Pb5.09Ca3.78K1.13(PO4)6F0.87 were grown through a solid-state reaction. The structural study conducted by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the compound crystallizes in...
In the last few years, many efforts have been devoted to the recovery and valorization of olive oil by-products because of their potentially high biological value. The olive mill wastewater...
: Precise control over the crystalline phase and crystallographic orientation within thin films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highly desirable. Here, we report a comparison of the liquid- and vapour-phase...
A new catalytic approach to the synthesis of an important sub-class of benzofuran derivatives (namely, 2- (benzofuran-2-yl)acetamides, known to possess significant biological activities) has been developed. The new method is...
Enricofrancoite (IMA2023-002), ideally KNaCaSi4O10, is a newlitidionite-group member found as the product of high-temperaturealteration of hosting silicates with the enrichment by Cu-bearing fluidsat the rock-fumaroles interface related to the 1872...
A hyaluronan-curcumin conjugate was synthesized by employing a green procedure, the final aim was to improve the aqueous solubility and the bioavailability of the curcumin by reducing its hydrolytic degradation....
Silver thiolate nanoclusters (Ag NCs) show distinctive optical properties resulting from their hybrid nature, metallic and molecular, exhibiting size-, structure-, and surface-dependent photoluminescence, thus enabling the exploitation of Ag NCs...
Carbon dots (CDs) represent an emerging class of nanomaterials that combine outstanding photoluminescent properties with low toxicity and excellent biocompatibility. These unique features have garnered significant interest for potential applications...
