ACS Publications provides quality, peer-reviewed chemistry journals, scientific research articles and more across all fields of chemical sciences.

Vancomycin continues to be a widely used antibiotic of last resort in treating drug-resistant pathogens despite the emergence of vancomycin-resistant strains such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococci ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely recognized for their unique optical, electronic, and antibacterial properties, enabling their use in biosensing, photonics, electronics, drug delivery, and ...

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) with silicon anodes could enable improved safety and energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, degradation arising from the massive volumetric changes of ...

Thin films’ properties can be greatly influenced by their supporting growth substrates. Even in the so-called strain-free heterostructure films, it is still unclear whether there will be no ...

Humans are constantly exposed to micro- and nanosized plastics (MNPs); however, there is still limited understanding of their fate within the body, partially due to limitations with current analytical ...

Announcing ACS Nano Medicine. We’re excited to announce our new journal—ACS Nano Medicine—a new addition to the family of ACS journals. “The broad scope of ACS Nano Medicine, encompassing fundamental, ...

Microplastics are ubiquitous environmental contaminants for which there are documented human exposures, but there is a paucity of research evaluating their impacts on human health. We conducted a ...

Classical empirical force fields have dominated biomolecular simulations for over 50 years. Although widely used in drug discovery, crystal structure prediction, and biomolecular dynamics, they ...

Fluorescence emitters with a multiple-resonant (MR) effect have become a research hotspot. These MR emitters mainly consist of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with boron/nitrogen, nitrogen/carbonyl, ...

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) could offer improved energy density and safety, but the evolution and degradation of electrode materials and interfaces within SSBs are distinct from conventional ...

Charge separation occurs spontaneously at the solid–liquid interface, forming an electric double layer. Previous methods, including streaming current, used to harvest the constantly separated charge ...
