Malaria symptoms are very similar to those of COVID-19, and infections can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Common immunodominant epitopes are shared by the SARS-CoV-2 proteins and the Plasmodium falciparum antigen. Through bioinformatics methods such as domain search, this study discovered that the S, ORF3a proteins…

MXenes are versatile 2D materials demonstrating outstanding electrochemical and physical properties, but their practical use is limited because of fast degradation in an aqueous environment. To prevent the degradation of MXenes, it is essential to understand the atomistic details of the reaction and identify active…

MXenes have attracted considerable attention due to their tunable surface chemistry, high electrical conductivity, and ease of solution processing, making them promising candidates for a wide array of applications. The inherent tendency of MXenes to degrade under environmental conditions constrains their compositional…

Surfactants are widely used for industrial applications, yet more environmentally-friendly surfactants with enhanced properties are demanded. A key thermodynamic property governing the behavior of a surfactant in an aqueous solution is its critical micelle concentration (CMC). Below the CMC, increasing the surfactant…

High temperature oxidation kinetics, nanoparticles, Graphite, N2O, sublimation ABSTRACT The kinetics sublimation and for reaction of individual graphite nanoparticles (NPs) with N2O were studied over the 1600 to 1900 K temperature range. Reaction with N2O etched the NP surfaces at rates that increased with temperature…

Molecular adsorption in nanoporous materials has many large-scale industrial applications ranging from separation to storage. To design the best materials, computational simulations are key in guiding the experimentation and engineering processes. Because nanoporous materials exist in a plethora of forms, we need to…

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) using small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) holds promise for thin-film patterning but suffers from selectivity loss over multiple cycles. This study explores the mechanisms causing this loss during Al2O3 growth with SiO2 as the non-growth surface, inhibited by…

The growth of protective tribofilms from lubricant antiwear additives on rubbing surfaces is initiated by mechanochemical decomposition reactions. These processes are not well understood at the molecular scale for many important additives, such as tricresyl phosphate (TCP). One aspect that needs further clarification…

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) ejected through bursting bubbles at the ocean surface are complex mixtures of salts and organic species. Composition affects their ability to form marine clouds which cover nearly three-quarters of the Earth and play a critical role in the climate system. Submicron SSA particles have long…
