TL;DR: This work presents a self-assembly method for constructing thermally stable, free-standing nanowire membranes that exhibit controlled wetting behaviour ranging from superhydrophilic tosuperhydrophobic, and suggests an innovative material that should find practical applications in the removal of organics, particularly in the field of oil spill cleanup.

TL;DR: The combination of simple Electrochemical Micro-Paper-based Analytical Devices (EµPADs) with commercially available glucometers allows rapid, quantitative electrochemical analysis of a number of compounds relevant to human health in blood or urine.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates the use of aqueous multiphase systems (MuPSs) as media for rate-zonal centrifugation to separate nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes in a synthesis of gold nanorods.

TL;DR: The generation of over 300 phase-separated systems-ranging from two to six phases-from mixtures of aqueous solutions of polymers and surfactants are demonstrated, suggesting that the stable, sharp step-gradients in density provided by MuPSs can enable new classes of fractionations and separations based on density.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of modified poly(carboxylate ether)-based superplasticizers (PCEs) were applied to a ternary OPC-calcined clay-limestone blend.
