AbstractIn the present work, boron nitride (BN) nanosheets were prepared through bulk BN liquid phase exfoliation while various wt. ratios (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10) of bismuth (Bi) were incorporated as dopant using hydrothermal technique. Our findings exhibit that the optical investigation showed absorpt

AbstractLayered double hydroxides as typical supercapacitor electrode materials can exhibit superior energy storage performance if their structures are well regulated. In this work, a simple one-step hydrothermal method is used to prepare diverse nickel–cobalt layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs),

AbstractRecently, nanocarrier systems for cancer drugs, especially GO-based drug delivery systems, have become a boon for cancer patients. In this study, we choose Tau to functionalize the GO surface to improve its biocompatibility. Firstly, nano-scale GO was synthesized by the modified Hummer’s met

AbstractHerein, we demonstrate the fabrication of highly capacitive activated carbon (AC) using a bio-waste Kusha grass (Desmostachya bipinnata), by employing a chemical process followed by activation through KOH. The as-synthesized few-layered activated carbon has been confirmed through X-ray powde

Modern automated assembly and production technologies have forever changed the way we manufacture. Modern robotics have allowed us to seamlessly connect phases of production, and in turn offers substantial decreases in the time required to produce an item. Rollers, shock absorbing bumpers, and gripp

In the oil drilling sector, polyurethane is used for several purposes due to its exceptional mechanical properties, durability, and chemical resistance. In the most demanding drilling applications, polyurethane is unmatched in the oil drilling industry. -Example of a coiled tubing stripper rubber, w

When most people think of robotics, the first images that pop up are either sleek industrial arms or high‑octane action‑movie gadgets. In reality, a quieter revolution is underway—soft robotics, which uses compliant materials to create machines that move, grip, and adapt like living tissue. Academi

It started when our Quality Support Intern, Hannah, arrived with a stunning manicure that caught our eye. Her nails were finished with an SNS dipping‑powder system—a technique that diverges from gels, acrylics, and conventional polish, and claims to be gentler on natural nails. Intrigued, the Polyme

The COVID‑19 pandemic remains a formidable threat to global public health and has disrupted economies worldwide. SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus responsible for the outbreak, is not a typical influenza strain; it targets both upper and lower respiratory tracts, impairing essential breathing processes and caus

“Testing, testing, testing!” has become a rallying cry for COVID‑19 containment. Global health authorities—including the World Health Organization and national agencies—continue to emphasize that rapid, widespread testing is the linchpin of any effective pandemic response. Extensive diagnostic cove

In our previous post, we examined how predictive modeling tools can generate atomic‑level structures of viral proteins and fill in experimentally unresolved regions, such as missing hydrogen atoms and flexible loops. We focused on the cryo‑electron microscopy (cryo‑EM) structure of the SARS‑CoV‑2 sp

Targeting the SARS‑CoV‑2 Main Protease Developing a novel antiviral is both expensive and time‑consuming. In the midst of a global pandemic, the urgent need is to identify drugs that can halt viral replication rapidly. Drug repurposing—leveraging medicines already proven safe in humans—offers a prom
