Wearable devices improve personalize health care. The wearable devices can come in various convenient forms such as contact lenses, watch and skin patch to fit the clinical application. The wearable devices can be applied on different body fluid type including interstitial fluid, urine, tear, saliva, and sweat. Chemistry plays an important role on body fluid component analysis. Delicate design of chemistry response affects the analytic result display mode, detection accuracy and device stability. This article reviews the application and practice of chemistry in wearable device of body fluid analysis. Integration of chemistry and other detection systems provides many possibilities and opportunities on the development of future healthcare wearable devices.

Metal cyanamides and carbodiimides are an exciting group of compounds in solid state chemistry. They have been widely studied in recent years, and a large number of compounds have been reported that now incorporate alkali, alkaline earth, main group, transition, and rare earth metals. This work is an introduction to this family, in which we describe the forms of crystallization, methods of synthesis and some of their reported and potential applications in Li-Ion & Na-Ion batteries, as light-emitting diodes and photoluminescent materials.

Esta editorial se centra en el principal problema ético que ha sacudido el ámbito de la investigación científica en el Perú: la compra de autorías en publicaciones por pseudocientíficos que buscan engañar tanto a sus empleadores, lectores y estudiantes, con hojas de vida falsas en infladas. Estas graves faltas de ética sientan un pésimo ejemplo a los jóvenes investigadores y dañan la integridad científica.

Drug design has significantly benefited from advancements in computational chemistry and neural networks. In this article, we explore the pivotal role played by computational chemistry techniques such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics (MD) in understanding and optimizing atomic and molecular-level interactions. Furthermore, we examine how the integration of neural networks has enhanced precision and efficiency in drug design. We present specific examples of research projects showcasing the synergy between these methods and highlighting substantial advances in the quest for effective medical solutions. Additionally, we discuss challenges and key considerations for continuing to progress in this multidisciplinary field.
