To face unmet energy demands, the search for more stable, low-cost, and scalable electrocatalyst materials is imperative. Within this context, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have drawn considerable attention due to their ...

A comparison of the analytical performances of several enzyme biosensor designs, based on the use of different tailored gold nanoparticle-modified composite PVC/TTF-TCNQ electrodes, is discussed. The analytical characteristics ...

Stratum Corneum (SC), the outermost layer of mammalian skin, provides the first and most challenging barrier to skin permeation of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compounds. SC barrier function relies primarily on the complex ...

The aim of this review is to understand the progress in waste material management through pyrolysis to produce eco-energy. The growing demand for energy, combined with the depletion of traditional fossil fuels and their ...

Pathogenic bacteria have the ability to develop antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Their action consists mainly in the production of bacterial enzymes that inactivate antibiotics or the appearance of modifications that ...

The term “innovation” is core to modern science and society with respect to novelty, creation and added value, yet it is also a source of misunderstandings. We aim herein at the clarification of the different approaches ...

Efficient ventilation in hospital airborne isolation rooms is important vis-à-vis decreasing the risk of cross infection and reducing energy consumption. This paper analyses the suitability of using a displacement ventilation ...

Electrochemical biosensors are widely used in a multitude of applications, such as medical, nutrition, research, among other fields. These sensors have been historically used and have not undergone many changes in terms ...

The growing demand for fossil fuels, the rise in their price and many environmental concerns strengthen the incessant search for fuel alternatives. Recently, traffic noise has been described as a threat to human health and ...
