In salient effects, still crystals of solids that switch between phases acquire a momentum and are autonomously propelled because of rapid release of elastic energy accrued during a latent structural transition induced ...

Acid pretreatment is the most common method employed in the lignocellulosic biorefinery leading to the separation of pentose and hexose sugar. The liquor obtained after pretreatment (acid pretreatment liquor or APL) needs ...

We report the synthesis, characterization, photophysical investigations, and cell-uptake studies of luminescent silica nanoparticles incorporating covalently linked visible-light-excitable Eu3+ complexes. Visible-light ...

The stimuli-responsive orientation of liquid crystals having ionic appendages seems to have a great impact on the modern age molecular electronics. Low cost environmentally benign materials is the need of current century ...

A new series of indole appended dihydronaphthalenone hybrid analogs (5a–t) have been synthesized through the Lewis acid catalyzed Michael addition of indoles to the arylidene/hetero arylidene ketones. All the synthesized ...

Objectives: Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) is a potent drug for acute promyelocytic leukaemia, but its clinical trials are allied with some serious adverse events mainly cardiac functional abnormalities. So the objective of ...

Obesity leads to inflammation and insulin resistance in adipose tissue. Hypoxia, observed in obese adipose tissue is suggested as a major cause of inflammation and insulin resistance in obesity. However, the role of hypoxia ...

In the pursuit of novel anticancer leads, new bisindole-oxadiazoles were synthesized using propyl phosphonic anhydride as a mild and efficient reagent. The molecule, 3-[5-(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)- 1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-1H-indole ...

Four new N-ethylcarbazole-linked aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) dyes (8a,b and 9a,b) were synthesized and characterized. The presence of the N-ethylcarbazole moiety shifts their absorption and fluorescence spectra ...

Environmental remediation employing sunlight-active semiconductor nano-heterostructures provides effective solutions for handling emerging contaminants through a greener approach. Herein, we report the creation of ultrafine ...
