Metal oxides represent a highly attractive class of materials for the development of sustainable electronic devices, which demands novel strategies that enable component reusability and reduced environmental impact, while maintaining high performance. In the present work, we report the fabrication of printed thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on eco-friendly and solution-processable metal oxides. The device is ...
Neurological disorders, a leading global cause of death and disabilities, encompass conditions affecting both the peripheral and central nervous systems (PNS and CNS, respectively). Limited axon regeneration is a significant challenge in these disorders, and it has been linked to proteins like PTEN. RNA-based therapeutics, particularly siRNAs, hold the potential for silencing these inhibitory pathways, but thei...
Stroke affects approximately 12 million individuals annually, necessitating swift diagnosis to avert fatal outcomes. Current hospital imaging protocols often delay treatment, underscoring the need for portable diagnostic solutions. We have investigated silver nanostars (AgNS) incubated with human plasma, deposited on a simple aluminum foil substrate, and utilizing Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) comb...
Correction for ‘Unveiling the nanoscale photocurrent behavior in perovskite films on photonic-structured TiO2’ by Jenny Boane et al., New J. Chem., 2025, 49, 16226–16234, https://doi.org/10.1039/D5NJ02813B.
Background/Objectives: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with a high mortality, particularly from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Although some therapeutic strategies are available, they might cause severe side effects. For example, surgery may result in disfigurement and functional loss, severely impacting the patient’s quality of life. Thus, minimally invasiv...
Quantum dots-in-host (QD@Host) hetero-semiconductors have a set of properties of conspicuous interest for photovoltaic (PV) applications, such as photogeneration beyond the standard semiconductor bandgap absorption limit — enabling substantially broader exploitation of the solar spectrum. Nevertheless, a key aspect has remained thus far unexploited: coupling these features with advanced light-management techniq...
Metal oxide nanostructures have recently gained high attention due to advances in their synthesis, particularly hydrothermal techniques, which allow precise control over their morphology, composition, and crystallinity, as well as integration into devices. Zinc-tin oxide (ZTO) nanostructures, in particular, are notable for their sustainability and multifunctional applications, including catalysis, electronics, ...
