Bacteria have developed different intra- and inter-specific communication mechanisms that involve the production, release, and detection of signaling molecules, because these molecules serve as the autoinducers involved in "quorum sensing" systems. Other communication mechanisms employ volatile signaling molecules that regulate
Chemical communication underlies major adaptive traits in plants and shapes the root microbiome. An increasing number of diffusible and/or volatile organic compounds released by bacteria have been identified, which play phytostimulant or protective functions, including dimethyl-hexa-decylamine (DMHDA), a volatile biosynthesized
Oxygen homeostasis is important in the regulation of biological function. Disease progression can be monitored by measuring oxygen levels, thus producing information for the design of therapeutic treatments. Noninvasive measurements of tissue oxygenation require the development of tools with minimal

A synthetic method for the fabrication of colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles of a tunable mesopore size is presented. These nanoparticles form stable colloidal suspensions, have narrow particle size distributions in the 50-300nm range and exhibit a framework-confined porosity made up
In order to improve the antibacterial efficiency and spectrum of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis membrane (CA-RO), both quaternary ammonium and bromoacetyl groups were introduced into cellulose diacetate under mild conditions forming CA-RO with bi-antibacterial groups for seawater desalination. Bromoacetyl bromide
