This review provides an overview of area-selective thin film deposition (ASD) with a primary
focus on vapor-phase thin film formation via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic …

The transformation of extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) is largely influenced
by their inevitable photodegradation in environments where they tend to be adsorbed by …

Pre-ozonation coupled with ceramic membrane filtration has been widely used to alleviate
membrane fouling. However, information on the efficiency and underlying mechanism of pre …

Devising strategies for the controlled injection of functional nanoparticles and reagents into
living cells paves the way for novel applications in nanosurgery, sensing, and drug delivery …

DNA fate in soil plays an important role in the cycling of genetic information in the
environment. Adsorption onto mineral surfaces has great impact on this function. This study …

The association of a metallic fuel (usually aluminum) with an oxidizer (metal oxide or organic
compound) creates an exothermic material that can be ignited with an external stimulus …

DNA-directed assembly of nano-objects as a means to manufacture advanced nanomaterial
architectures has been the subject of many studies. However, most applications have dealt …

Although the immobilization of oligonucleotides (nucleic acid) on mineral surfaces is at the
basis of different biotechnological applications, an atomistic understanding of the interaction …

Formation of biomolecule-rich supramolecular complexes in dissolved organic matter (DOM)
and subsequent adsorption onto minerals is important for the development of mineral …
