Chemically Controlled Order and Geometries of Plasmonic Patches at Soft Curved Interfaces

Creating ordered plasmonic nanoparticle lattices on soft, curved templates remains challenging due to curvature‑induced frustration and kinetic trapping at fluid interfaces. Here we report a chemically programmable route to organize 5‑nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into hexagonall...

Vetiver Phytoremediation of Nitrate-Rich Munition Wastewater: Biomass Valorization Within a Circular Economy Framework

Industrial munition facilities generate nitrate-rich wastewater that requires effective and sustainable treatment before discharge. While vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides)-based phytoremediation has shown promise in nitrogen removal, most studies have been limited to small-...
