TL;DR: This functionalization approach extends p and n doping based on adsorbed molecules or ions to make it a systematic and robust method with which molecular electronics elements can be attached perpendicular to the graphene plane in a third dimension.

TL;DR: The combination of immiscible metals has traditionally escaped preparation as such metal's largely different surface energies lead to nonwetting and separation of the two metals during synthesis as discussed by the authors, which is undesirable.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the in vitro biomedical performance of an electrospun, flexible, anisotropic bilayer with one layer containing a collagen to mineral ratio similar to that in bone.

TL;DR: Lanthanum oxide nanoparticles were utilized to scavenge phosphate from microbial growth media for the use of targeted nutrient starvation as an antimicrobial strategy and only in phosphate poor environments a toxic effect was observed.

TL;DR: A chemically active filtration membrane with incorporated lanthanum oxide nanoparticles enables the removal of bacteria and phosphate at the same time and thus provides a simple device for preparation of drinking water and subsequent safe storage without using any kind of disinfectants.
