Le cancer du sein représente un défi majeur en matière de santé publique et demeure la deuxième cause de mortalité chez les femmes par cancer dans le monde. Chaque année, 670 000 femmes perdent la vie à cause de diagnostics tardifs et de rechutes dans le cancer du sein, stades où malheureusement la réponse aux […]

Nanostructures are increasingly used for many purposes that include drug delivery, solar cell efficiency improvement, catalysts, and optical sensors. Accordingly, there has been a corresponding increase in demand for nanostructures, and a need for efficient manufacturing processes that can meet this demand. One such manufacturing process that has shown potential is gas-phase synthesis. Nanostructures can […]

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) Quantum Dots (QDs) are being developed for use in areas from optoelectronics to energy storage and conversion, but synthetic protocols have yet to be developed to prepare high quality 0-dimensional (0D) material. A key challenge in efforts to develop synthetic protocols is a lack of rapid characterization technique that can unambiguously identify […]

Our technology surrounds the development of nanogel-based delivery systems to enhance the efficacy and stability of cosmetic products for skin care. Nanogels encapsulate active ingredients, protecting them from degradation and sustained release on the skin surface. This can act as a delivery system to ensure beneficial compounds’ controlled and sustained release, maximizing their impact. The […]

This project aims to quantify defects in the probability framework for 2-dimensional (2D) materials with superior performance using optical techniques, primarily focusing on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Additionally, defects are an important factor influencing the performance of single-photon emitters (SPEs), a type of quantum device. This project will directly relate the SPE performance with defect concentration. […]

Graphene is a promising new nanomaterial, single layers of graphite, with superior physical and electrical properties making it an ideal candidate for electrical applications; however, current graphene production methods are expensive and complicated. As a result, new materials that have similar properties to graphene, but are more amenable to high-yield production are currently being investigated. […]

Lignocellulosic biomass plays a vital role in the global shift away from the utilization of non-renewable petrochemical resources. the market demand for lignocellulose nanofibrils has increased dramatically as they are attractive as a bio-based material due to their high strength, low density, high aspect ratio, functional ability, and biodegradability. Therefore, the sharing of scientific knowledge […]

Graphene is an ultra-thin material with unprecedented chemical and mechanical properties. It is highly desirable for use in technological applications such as biosensors for disease detection and electrodes for energy storage devices, but expensive and energy-intensive synthesis methods have hindered it from widespread commercialization. New, more affordable ways of making graphene have thus been a […]

While eye drops are the most common treatment for anterior segment ocular disorders, they are inefficient due to fast clearance, often requiring frequent and high doses, reducing patient compliance, and increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. To improve the efficiency and efficacy of topically applied therapeutics, a drug-loaded polymeric micelle that interacts with the mucin […]

Palladium-catalyzed cross coupling is one of the most powerful tools in modern synthetic chemistry, with is collaborative discovery recognised with the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This class of reactions has had a huge impact on the way in which chemists think about building fine chemicals, because it allows for clipping of two molecules together […]

2-dimension (2D) materials have gained academic and industrial attention due to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, strong interatomic bonding, and good mechanical flexibility, making them suitable for a wide range of applications including energy storage, optoelectronics, and healthcare. An important step in realizing their potential is to build heterostructures by stacking 2D materials with thin […]

In the last twenty years, many efforts have been made to study the incredible properties that boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and nanosheets (BNNSs) have presented since their discovery, especially through their excellent performance in the aerospace industry. In parallel, bio-based materials such as nanocellulose have been considered a cheap and attractive material for developing nanocomposites […]
