Materials science will play a key role in the further development of emerging solutions for the
increasing problems of energy and environment. Materials found in nature have many …

Great interests have arisen over the last decade in the development of hierarchically porous
materials. The hierarchical structure enables materials to have maximum structural functions …

Materials with hierarchical porosity and structures have been heavily involved in newly
developed energy storage and conversion systems. Because of meticulous design and …

Hierarchies are present everywhere in our environment such as in biological systems, from
simple unicellular organisms to the more complex human body [1]. Natural hierarchical …

This critical review highlights the advances that have been made over recent years in the
domain of whole-cell immobilisation and encapsulation for applications relating to the …

Inspired by the characteristics of cells in live organisms, new types of hybrids have been
designed comprising live cells and abiotic materials having a variety of structures and …

Microalgae are a group of microscopic eukaryotic organisms that can transform carbon
dioxide into diverse bioactive compounds through photosynthesis using chlorophyll a. Over …
