Two global problems are the spread of infections by antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms and the need to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources due to their depletion and harmful pollution of the environment. To solve those two problems, we will prepare a novel multifunctional visible-light-responsive inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials with dual potential applications in photocatalytic hydrogen production and wastewater disinfection. To this end, for the first time, ...

Temperature sensors account for approximately 80% of the world sensor market, which is expected to be worth 8 billion EUR by 2028. Even though temperature measuring devices abound, only a few thermometers can operate in contemporary environments, such as biomedicine, micro/nanofluidics, and opto/nanoelectronics, where spatial resolutions of less than 1 μm are required. There is a current unmet need for a broadly applicable technique for measuring temperatures in small fluid volumes (< 1 nL...
