Reduction of water to hydrogen through electrocatalysis holds great promise for clean
energy, but its large-scale application relies on the development of inexpensive and efficient …

Background Candida albicans is the most common pathogenic fungus isolated in bloodstream
infections in hospitalized patients, and candidiasis represents the fourth most common …

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with high activity, high stability, and low
costs are needed for proton-exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. Based on the high cost …

Designing biodegradable scaffolds with bone-compatible mechanical properties has been
a significant challenge in the field of bone tissue engineering and regenerative engineering. …

Abnormal accumulation of brain metals is a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Formation
of amyloid-β plaque cores (APC) is related to interactions with biometals, especially Fe, …

Background Bismuth compounds are known for their activity against multiple microorganisms;
yet, the antibiotic properties of bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) remain poorly explored. The …

Calcium deposits have been related to articular cartilage (AC) degeneration and have been
observed in late stages of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the role of those deposits, whether …

Silver nanoparticles offer a possible means of fighting antibacterial resistance. Most of their
antibacterial properties are attributed to their silver ions. In the present work, we study the …

Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts that have both high activities and
long-term stabilities are needed for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and …

Objective Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be difficult or expensive to obtain or synthesize
for laboratories in resource-limited facilities. The purpose of this work was to optimize a …
