Bio-based hybrid nanocomposites as multifunctional sustainable materials for stone conservation
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
This study was aimed at developing a sustainable versatile bio-based epoxy-silica material to be potentially employed as hydrophobic and biocidal consolidating product in the field of stone conservation. For this purpose, ...
Protective Strategies of Haberlea rhodopensis for Acquisition of Freezing Tolerance: Interaction between Dehydration and Low Temperature
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
Resurrection plants are able to deal with complete dehydration of their leaves and then recover normal metabolic activity after rehydration. Only a few resurrection species are exposed to freezing temperatures in their ...
A Review on Sustainable Inks for Printed Electronics: Materials for Conductive, Dielectric and Piezoelectric Sustainable Inks
(MDPI, 2023-05-24)
In the last decades, the demand for electronics and, therefore, electronic waste, has increased. To reduce this electronic waste and the impact of this sector on the environment, it is necessary to develop biodegradable ...
Tracking ultrafast dynamics by sub-20-fs UV pulses generated in the lab open atmosphere
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
This study describes a simple method to generate sub-20 fs UV-pulses (264 nm) by third-harmonic generation, in an air-plasma filament formed after focusing the fundamental 800 nm beam directly in the lab open-atmosphere. ...
Robust oscillator-mediated phase gates driven by low-intensity pulses
(Nature, 2023)
Robust qubit-qubit interactions mediated by bosonic modes are central to many quantum technologies. Existing proposals combining fast oscillator-mediated gates with dynamical decoupling require strong pulses or fast control ...
Formylation as a Chemical Tool to Modulate the Performance of Photosensitizers Based on Boron Dipyrromethene Dimers
(MDPI, 2023-07-23)
Heavy-atom-free photosensitizers are envisioned as the next generation of photoactive molecules for photo-theragnosis. In this approach, and after suitable irradiation, a single molecular scaffold is able to visualize and ...
Extended BODIPYs as Red–NIR Laser Radiation Sources with Emission from 610 nm to 750 nm
(MDPI, 2023-06-13)
Herein, we report the synthetic access to a set of π-extended BODIPYs featuring a penta-arylated (phenyl and/or thiophene) dipyrrin framework. We take advantage of the full chemoselective control of 8-methylthio-2,3,5,6- ...
One-Step Method for Direct Acrylation of Vegetable Oils: A Biobased Material for 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2023-07-24)
The substitution of fossil resources by alternatives derived from biomass is a reality that is taking on a growing relevance in the chemical and energy industries. In this sense, fats, oils, and their derived products have ...
Ultrasound and Eco-Detergents for Sustainable Cleaning
(MDPI, 2023-07-12)
Green chemistry faces a major challenge imposed by the Sustainable Development Goals (6, 14 and 15) defined in the 2030 Agenda. In the case of cleaning products (detergents), the challenges often become a paradox: even if ...
One- and Two-Electron Reductions in MiniSOG and their Implication in Catalysis
(Wiley, 2023-08)
The unconventional bioorthogonal catalytic activation of anticancer metal complexes by flavin and flavoproteins photocatalysis has been reported recently. The reactivity is based on a two-electron redox reaction of the ...
