TL;DR: By exploiting the surface sensitivity of X-ray circular magnetic dichroism, this work evidence an enhancement of the magnetic bistability of this single-molecule magnet, in contrast to the dramatic reduction of the Magnetic hysteresis that characterises monolayer deposits evaporated on noble and ferromagnetic metals.

TL;DR: The complete selectivity of the cavitand-decorated surface under these stringent conditions represents a critical step forward in the use of these materials for the specific detection of sarcosine and related metabolites in biological fluids.

TL;DR: The ability of β-CD-functionalized nanoparticles to carry and slowly release some drugs has been tested by adopting the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium salt as a model.

TL;DR: The socially relevant issue of screening amine-based illicit and designer drugs is addressed by nanomechanical recognition at the silicon-water interface by recognizing methylamino moieties of different drugs through a synergistic set of weak interactions.

TL;DR: The results revealed the successful grafting reaction, the specific host-guest interactions of the PSi-bonded receptors, and the reversibility of the guest complexation.
