Summary: Phytosterols, naturally occurring plant sterols, have been found in various plant-based foods and have potential beneficial effects on human health, particularly in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study, an efficient method for preparing phytosterols from a by-product of biodiesel production was developed and optimized using an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mineral acids. The optimized method showed improved yield and offered a greener approach in terms of E factor, energy consumption, and safety. This has important implications for the food and nutraceutical industries, which are increasingly focused on using renewable and eco-friendly sources.

Summary: Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology, while promising for global spacing cooling, faces limitations in practical application due to reduced cooling effectiveness caused by wear and dirt contamination. Researchers have developed a renewable armor structure using fluorinated hollow glass microspheres to enhance the anti-fouling and cooling properties of PDRC coatings. The coatings exhibit high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, leading to significant temperature reduction below ambient temperature.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck, with a high incidence in China and Southeast Asian countries. In this study, a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, SNAFL-GSH, was designed and synthesized for the detection of glutathione (GSH). The probe showed selective detection of GSH and the ability to distinguish normal and cancer cells. It has great potential for application in the diagnosis and evaluation of NPC.

Summary: In this study, a S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was designed to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of CO2 photoreduction. The S-scheme heterojunction accelerated charge migration and inhibited electron-hole recombination, leading to improved catalytic performance. The optimized electron interaction and CO2 activation on the active sites of Cu single atom in the heterojunction contributed to the high yield and selectivity of CH4 formation.

Summary: Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a noninvasive and effective treatment for bacterial infection in peri-implantitis. Researchers have designed a multi-functional gas generator that combines aPDT with oxygen and carbon monoxide release to address the challenges of hypoxia and inflammation regulation. The composite nanoplatform on the surface of titanium implants allows controlled release of reactive oxygen species, carbon monoxide, and oxygen, achieving antibacterial effectiveness.

Summary: Multifunctional molecules with both optical signal and pharmacological activity are important in drug development, disease diagnosis, and theoretical research. In this study, a novel design strategy for a theranostic probe targeting a representative tumor biomarker, aminopeptidase N (APN), was developed using machine learning and molecular dynamics simulations. The resulting probe, ABTP-DPTB, utilizes conformation-induced fluorescence recovery to detect and inhibit APN.

Summary: SiO2-supported monometallic Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Cu and Co catalysts are used for proton-driven NAD(+) regeneration and H-2 production. All metals show full selectivity to NAD(+), with turnover frequency order matching that of electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions. The study reveals that NADH can convert metal sites into a cathode without an external potential and the NADH to NAD(+) reaction involves separate electron and hydrogen atom transfer.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigates the interfacial molecular screening of polyimide dielectric in organic field-effect transistors. It reveals that semiconducting small molecules with alkyl side chains preferentially form high-quality charge transport layers on the polyimide dielectric. These findings provide a guiding scheme for the construction of high-performance thin-film field-effect transistors.

Summary: This study investigated the structures of two Se chains confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), revealing that the chains were linear and parallel. The covalent bond between Se and SWCNT was found to be stronger than that between Se and trigonal Se (t-Se). The interaction between chains was attributed to the overlap of electronic orbitals, and the disappearance of this overlap in the encapsulated Se chains enhanced the covalent bonds.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the electronic and thermoelectric properties of rare-earth half-Heusler XPtBi (X = Gd, Nd, Y) topological semimetals compounds using density functional theory. Our results indicate that the inclusion of spin orbit coupling has a significant impact on the electronic band structure and spin order, making it promising for spintronic applications. We found different topological states in these compounds and observed enhanced power factor in YPtBi with the inclusion of SOC.

Summary: In this study, we elucidate the hopping mechanism of hydrogen at intermediate temperature using a combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations. We find that the transition from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is attributed to resonant tunneling, which is achieved through the resonant tunneling of discrete vibrational states between the edge octahedral site and the tetrahedral site. We also demonstrate that the tunneling rate can be tuned by energy level matching.
