Infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens pose a fundamental threat to humans. They are predicted to surpass cancer and heart disease to become the leading cause of death in 2050. Speeding up antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is urgently needed in clinical settings to guide fast and tailored antibiotic prescription before treatment, not only curtailing medical cost, improving survival rate, but also providing an important way to control the occurrence and spread...

Large amounts of anthropogenic VOCs emissions give rise to photochemical smog and ground-level ozone. Currently, catalytic oxidation for VOCs elimination still requires energy-intensive high temperatures. Light driven photo-thermocatalysis oxidation of VOCs holds great promise to substantially reduce energy consumption for sustainable development in comparison with conventional thermal-based catalytic oxidation. IUE report that the hybrid nanomaterial Pt-rGO-TiO2, featuring the broad lig...
