The study uses infrared spectroscopy techniques to differentiate authentic and counterfeit Brazilian banknotes. Spectral data were analyzed using near-infrared (NIR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, then processed with Matlab, Origin and Orange.

Different exfoliation methods were applied to obtain reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with varied lateral sizes. Photothermal studies under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation showed efficient heat generation. Sheet size had minimal influence on the photothermal performance.

The newly synthesized crystal of dihydropyrimidine-thiones were evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors targeting Alzheimer's disease via comprehensive in vitro and in silico investigations.

The evolution of open circuit potential (OCP) over time was monitored to evaluate corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys. Localized attack occurred even at more noble potentials. This highlights the limitations of using OCP as a standalone technique for corrosion resistance assessment.

The graphical abstract illustrates the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate oil well cement microstructures. Representative SEM images reveal hydration products, carbonation phases, and morphological changes under various conditions.

Analysis and qualification by electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) of fermented beverages from honeys of native bees in Brazil.

The Graphical Abstract consists of three scanning electron microscopies obtained in the analysis of TiO₂ nanotubes synthesized in the presence and absence of iron ions.

Two solvent compositions (70 and 90% ethanol, v/v in water) and varying sonication times (0-2 h) were evaluated to investigate their effects on lignin nanoparticle formation, morphology, and size.

Gedunin-type limonoids obtained from wood residues were evaluated against promastigote forms of Leishmania guyanensis and L. amazonensis.

This study demonstrates the nondestructive testing technique of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to detect melamine through common packaging materials. Distinct absorption peaks at 2.0 and 2.28 THz enabled quantification with high sensitivity.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection and chemometric tools were applied to analyze flavonoids in extracts from 15 plant species through exploratory analysis and multivariate calibration.

Gelucire^® 50/13-based solid dispersions significantly improved the solubility of carbamazepine. The best-performing formulation was characterized physicochemically.

This diagram illustrates the anode electrocatalytic oxidation decomplexation pathway and the cathode electrodeposition process for nickel recovery in a system integrating electrocatalytic oxidation with electrodeposition technology for treating Ni^II-citric acid complexes (Ni-Cit).

The Graphical Abstract represents the monitoring of unsupported radionuclide, Cs-137, and the importance of designing an efficient, low-cost methodology with qualitative and quantitative rigor to meet nuclear and food safety criteria.

Controlled release system of curcumin encapsulated by chitosan and carried by green iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles to enhance curcumin bioavailability.

Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry can be used to identify the coumarin brodifacoum in poisoned foods.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hexafluorosilicic acid (H₂SiF₆) are used to extract copper as Cu^II from printed circuit boards, producing H₂ as a byproduct.

A Matlab^® graphical user interface for exploratory data analysis (EDA) for users unfamiliar with the programming language.

When a teacher explains molecular geometry using verbal descriptions, chemical formulas, modeling clay, software, and gestures, they integrate multiple modes to highlight the three-dimensional nature of molecules and to show specific characteristics.

The investigation of previous knowledge, as well as the stimulation of the anchoring of new information, enriches the teaching of chemistry, especially the teaching of chemical kinetics.

Three interrupted case studies, based on research articles, were developed and implemented in a scientific communication course.

Structuring concepts in organic chemistry through textbooks and university professors' perspectives. The image highlights key topics such as chemical bonding, stereochemistry, structure, and acidity-basicity, reinforcing the need for integrated conceptual understanding in teaching.

This research analyzes the potential of preparing Case Study statements in postgraduate chemistry courses as a means of incorporating the principles of critical Environmental Education.

Small language models (SLMs) were used to create a text database from the 2019 and 2024 Brazilian Chemical Society annual meetings (RASBQs) book of abstracts, enabling a comparison of trends and facilitating statistical analysis. Picture created with the Gemini Chatbot from Google.

Julius Robert Oppenheimer visited the city of Belo Horizonte in his first trip to Brazil in 1953. In an interview, he said "Brazil's future atomic industry should be located in Minas Gerais".
