Article Abstract
Recovering heavy and precious metals from wastewater is both economically and environmentally attractive. However, a challenge still remains in how to realize the highly selective removal and recovery of a particular metal of interest, such as platinum. Here we experimentally demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular polymer that can serve as a host for the highly selective capture of anionic platinum(II) (Pt) species including its metal-organic complexes and water-soluble ions. This host polymer possesses a 2D honeycomb-like nanostructure noncovalently bridged by cationic alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine dimers. Anionic Pt guests readily bind to the dimeric Pt building blocks of the internal cavities via electrostatic and specific Pt···Pt interactions. Such unique host-guest interactions have endowed thin membranes comprising highly oriented supramolecular polymers with a versatile ability to selectively recognize and adsorb anionic Pt species over other metal ions in water upon simple filtration.

Silicon carbide (SiC) membranes combine exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability but suffer from surface inertness that precludes functionalization. Conversely, MOFs offer unmatched molecular selectivity but are typically powders, severely limiting their practical use. To address this, we develop a generalizable route to fabricate ultrastable MOF@SiC membranes via sequential oxidation and acidification, creating abundant Si-OH sites on SiC surfaces that covalently bond with Zr-MOF crystals; the bonding mechanism between MOFs and substrates has been extensively studied.

Background: Microwave Doppler sensors, capable of detecting minute physiological movements, enable the measurement of biometric information, such as walking patterns, heart rate, and respiration. Unlike fingerprint and facial recognition systems, they offer authentication without physical contact or privacy concerns. This study focuses on non-contact seismocardiography using microwave Doppler sensors and aims to apply this technology for biometric authentication.

Recent investments in large-scale mortem tissue collection have accelerated opportunities to understand the neuropathology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic neurodegeneration (PTND). Clinicopathological correlation requires ante-mortem clinical information. Post-mortem family interviews (PFIs) are an established method to capture comprehensive ante-mortem clinical information.

Assembly theory (AT) quantifies selection using the assembly equation, identifying complex objects through the assembly index, the minimal steps required to build an object from basic parts, and copy number, the observed instances of the object. These measure a quantity called Assembly, capturing causation necessary to produce abundant objects, distinguishing selection-driven complexity from random generation. Unlike computational complexity theory, which often emphasizes minimal description length via compressibility, AT explicitly focuses on the causation captured by selection as the mechanism behind complexity.

Background: Nepal is highly affected by climate change, experiencing glacier melting, untimely rainfall, floods, landslides, forest fires, and droughts, which collectively impact over 10 million people. There is a larger impact of climate change on human health, but its impact on women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights is yet to be explored. Thus, this study aims to understand the linkages between climate change and the unique impact on gender and sexual, and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
