SnTe, a Pb-free analogue of PbTe, was earlier assumed to be a poor thermoelectric material due to excess p-type carrier concentration and large energy separation between light and heavy hole valence bands. Here, we report ...

Flexible and dynamic porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with well-defined nanospaces composed of chromophoric organic linkers provide a scaffold for encapsulation of versatile guest molecules through noncovalent interactions. ...

Infectious diseases were the primary cause of death prior to the discovery and use of antimicrobial drugs and even today it remains as one of the major killers of mankind.1 Even though, the viral disease outbreaks such as ...

Development of synthetic strategies to combat Staphylococcal infections, especially those caused by methicillin resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA), needs immediate attention. In this manuscript we report the ability of ...

We report an amphiphilic perylene diimide (1), a bimolecular analog of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), as a reversible fluorescence switching probe for the detection and sensing of cationic surfactants and Fe3+/Cu2+ ...

Infectious diseases continue to cause high mortality in global population and are the biggest threat for public health1. Infectious diseases contribute for nearly 15 million global deaths every year1, 2. The infectious ...

Bacterial colonization and subsequent formation of biofilms onto surfaces of medical devices and implants is a major source of nosocomial infections. Most antibacterial coatings to combat infections are either metal-based ...

A bioinspired nanoarchitectonics design strategy is adapted to construct 2D sheets of promising n-type organic semiconductor naphthalene diimide (NDI) with tunable size, shape and optoelectronic properties. Modulation of ...
