The majority of nanomaterials (NMs) used in commercial applications are likely to enter the wastewater stream and reach wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Studies have shown high association of NMs with sewage sludge therefore soils can be a sink for NM pollution making terrestrial organisms vulner...

Many small- or medium-sized communities in Northern Europe employ only primary wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and effluent discharges can be a relevant source of pollution. The current study combines monitoring and modelling approaches to investigate concentrations, influent patterns, size dist...

The widespread use of fuel cells and water splitting devices for energy generation and storage is limited by the dependence on noble metal catalysts. There is thus a tremendous need for the development of efficient electrocatalysts based on Earth-abundant elements. Nature inspired hydrogenases (HydA...

The present work explores the concept of high-entropy alloys to design FeCoNi-based oxides suitable for functional applications. Fundamental changes in electronic behavior produced by metal substitution and variable oxygen content were screened to investigate the potential of these materials for spe...

Amorphous TiO₂ nanotubes (TNTs) grown anodically on Ti metal in aqueous electrolytes show a crystallization behaviour strongly dependent on the atmosphere used during annealing at high temperature. In wet oxidizing conditions, the amorphous TNTs walls transform into relatively large and well crystal...

The fraction of organic matter present affects the fragmentation behavior of sialoliths; thus, pretherapeutic information on the degree of mineralization is relevant for a correct selection of lithotripsy procedures. This work proposes a methodology for in vivo characterization of salivary calculi i...
