Predicting binary solution phase behavior of polymers has remained a challenge since the early theory of Flory-Huggins, hindering the processing, synthesis, and design of polymeric materials. Herein, we take a complementary data-driven approach by bu...
Biosurfactants are a series of organic compounds that are composed of two parts, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, and since they have properties such as less toxicity and biodegradation, they are widely used in the food industry. Important applications i...
Cephalopods, such as cuttlefish, demonstrate remarkable adaptability to the coloration and texture of their surroundings by modulating their skin color and surface morphology simultaneously, for the purpose of adaptive camouflage and signal communica...

Curcumin (Curc) reacts with zinc di‑iodine (ZnI) in 2:1molar ratio in the presence of an excess of a base triethylamine ((CHCH)N) in methanol (CHOH) solution towards the amorphous solid material of formula [ZnI(Curc)] (1). The complex was characteriz...
Information processing in the brain takes place in a network of neurons that are connected with each other by an immense number of synapses. At the same time, neurons are immersed in a common electrochemical environment, and global parameters such as...

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles originating from both commercial product manufacturing and the degradation of larger plastic materials. These particles pose significant risks to environmental and animal health. A growing body of evidence hig...
Airborne microplastics (MPs) pose significant respiratory and systemic health risks upon inhalation; however, current assessment methods remain inadequate. This study integrates breathomics and transcriptomics to establish a non-invasive approach for...
