From Photoreceptors to Photoelectrodes: Integrating Biological Light-Harvesting Mechanisms with Nanostructured Photoelectrochemical Systems
Abstract: The efficient conversion of solar energy into electrical and chemical energy is a major scientific challenge of the twenty-first century. Natural photoreceptors provide valuable models for addressing this challenge because they have evolved highly efficient mechanisms for capturing and converting light energy. Biological systems such as rhodopsins, bacteriorhodopsins, proteorhodopsins, cryptochromes, phototropins, and phytochromes employ chromophore-driven photoinduced electron and proton transfer processes to initiate a wide range of physiological responses, including …

Influence of Flow Control Devices on Aerodynamic Characteristics of Wind Turbine Blades: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The growth of the wind energy sector has increased the need for enhanced techniques with the goal of improving the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines. As the size of wind turbines increases, there is a noticeable increase in energy loss, problems with fluctuating loads, and structural damage. This suggests that effective techniques need to be implemented in order to improve their efficacy. Methods for flow control, including passive and …

Nanostructure-Induced Thermoelectric Enhancement in Bi2Te3 Nanorod Design, Analysis, and Performance Evaluation
Abstract: Thermoelectric materials capable of efficient energy conversion near room temperature are critical for waste heat recovery applications. In this work, solution-grown Bi2Te3 nanorods were synthesized via a trioctylphosphine-assisted thermal decomposition route, and the influence of surfactant-induced nanostructuring on their thermoelectric properties was systematically investigated. Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement confirmed the formation of rhombohedral Bi2Te3 with the emergence of Bi2Te3–BiTe nanocomposites at higher surfactant concentrations. Electron microscopy …

Advancements in Analytical Techniques and Validation Methods for Pharmaceutical Tablet Formulations Using HPTLC
Abstract: High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is a versatile analytical technique which has been effectively used for pharmaceutical quality control and cost effectively, rapidly, and high throughput analyzed tablet formulations. HPTLC is different from traditional chromatographic methods as multi sample analysis is possible in one run with low consumption of solvent, which are principles of green analytical chemistry. But existing HPTLC is limited in sensitivity, resolution and reproducibility and these …

Artificial Intelligence based Sustainable Decision Intelligence for Climate Action
Abstract: This paper proposes a Sustainable Decision Intelligence (SDI) framework to address the limitations of traditional climate policy through AI-driven analytics. By reviewing literature from 2020–2026, the study examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on climate forecasting, energy optimization, and biodiversity monitoring, categorizing these tools into predictive, optimization, and policy intelligence layers. While acknowledging critical hurdles like data bias and computational energy costs, the research argues that integrating AI into …

Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of a Double-Pipe Double-Pass Heat Exchanger using Annular Fins and Graphite-filled Epoxy Composite Tubes
Abstract: Double-pipe heat exchangers remain one of the most widely adopted thermal devices because of their simple construction, operational reliability, and ease of maintenance. Nevertheless, their performance is often constrained by the limited heat transfer area of smooth tubes and the long-term challenges associated with metallic materials, including corrosion, scaling, and structural weight. Recent advances in thermally conductive polymer composites provide an opportunity to overcome these limitations by replacing conventional metals …
