‘Staircase Framework’—To Enhance Creative, Critical Thinking, and Intellect in Higher-Degree Research Programs

Background: Thesis writing is a complex academic and emotional process that requires learners to develop research, writing, and communication skills while navigating through uncertainty, evolving research challenges, and gaining greater levels of scholar independence. Although sc...

Fast and noise-aware machine learning variational quantum eigensolver optimiser

Abstract The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for preparing ground states in the current era of noisy devices. The classical component of the algorithm requires a large number of measurements on intermediate parameter values that are t...

Transferrin-Conjugated Polymeric Nanoparticles via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly for Enhanced BBB Transport and Glioblastoma Therapy

Abstract Transferrin-coated nanoparticles show promise in delivering chemotherapeutic drugs across biological barriers for treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Employing a synthetic approach integrating advanced chemistries and bespoke in vitro biological assays, we developed...
