Nanomedicines are highly complex products and are the result of difficult to control manufacturing processes. Nonbiological complex drugs and their biological counterparts can comprise nanoparticles and therefore show nanomedicine characteristics. They consist of not fully known nonhomomolecular structures, and can th…

Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) is commonly considered for converting solar energy into hydrogen fuel through water splitting. Recent experiments performed in 2013 reached a maximum efficiency in Fe 2 O 3 photoelectrochemical cells while using platinum-doped Fe 2 O 3 . In order to understand how platinum increases efficiency,…

is developed for bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics. The disruption of perylene diimide planarity with a 3D framework suppresses the self-aggregation of perylene diimide and inhibits excimer formation. From planar monoperylene diimide to 3D tetraperylene diimide, a significant improvement of power conversion ef…

Cancer patients after chemotherapy may also suffer bacterial attack due to badly decreased immunity. Although with high bacterial efficacy, conventional antibiotics are prone to inducement of drug resistance and may be not suitable for some cancer patients. In contrast, antibacterial peptides are highly effective in i…

Abstract Facile postsynthetic oxidation of the thiol‐laced UiO‐66‐type framework UiO‐66(SH)2 enabled the generation of UiO‐66(SO3H)2 with sulfonic acid groups covalently linked to the backbone of the system. The oxidized material exhibited a superprotonic conductivity of 8.4×10−2 S cm−1 at 80 °C and 90 % relative humi…

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been proposed as promising solvents for separating C2H2 and C2H4, but screening an industrially attractive IL with high capacity from numerous available ILs remains challenging. In this work, a rapid screening method based on COSMO‐RS was developed. We also present an efficient strategy to imp…

Beamforming in series-fed antenna arrays can inherently suffer from beam-squinting. To overcome the beam-squinting problem, low-dispersion, fast-wave transmission lines can be employed. Such transmission lines can be designed by loading a regular transmission line with non-Foster reactive elements (e.g., negative capa…
