Macroscopic inorganic porous beads are imbibed with a "porous molecular additive" by simple solution processing techniques, resulting in controllable loading and increased surface area. The porous additive consists of soluble organic cage molecules that precipitate as microporous crystals when solutions

The ability of nitric oxide (NO)-releasing silica nanoparticles to kill biofilm-based microbial cells is reported. Biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Candida albicans were formed in vitro and exposed to NO-releasing silica nanoparticles. Replicative viability
