Bacterial infections claim millions of lives every year, with the escalating menace microbial antibiotic resistance compounding this global crisis. Nanozymes, poised as prospective substitutes for antibiotics, present a significant frontier in antibacterial therapy, yet their precise enzymatic origins remain elusive. With continuous development nanozymes, applications elemental N-modulated nanozymes have spanned multiple fields, including sensing and detection, infection cancer treatment, pollutant degradation. The introduction nitrogen into not only broadens application range but also holds importance design catalysts biomedical research. synergistic interplay between W N induces pivotal alterations electronic configurations, endowing tungsten nitride (WN) peroxidase-like functionality. Furthermore, vacancies augments nanozyme activity, thus amplifying catalytic potential WN nanostructures. Rigorous theoretical modeling empirical validation corroborate genesis enzyme activity. meticulously engineered nanoflower architecture exhibits an exceptional ability traversing bacterial surfaces, exerting potent bactericidal effects through direct physical interactions. Additionally, topological intricacies these nanostructures facilitate targeting generated radicals on culminating efficacy against both Gram-negative Gram-positive strains along notable inhibition biofilm formation. Importantly, assessments using skin model underscore proficiency nanoflowers effectively clearing fostering wound healing.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has now emerged as a chronic public health problem globally, with the forecast of 10 million deaths per year globally by 2050. AMR occurs when viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites do not respond to antimicrobial treatments in humans animals, thus allowing survival microorganism within host. The prominent cause contributing current crisis remains be overuse misuse antimicrobials, particularly inappropriate usage antibiotics, increasing global burden resistance. consumption antibiotics are therefore closely monitored at all times.

Global drylands, covering about 41% of Earth’s surface and inhabited by 38% the world’s population, are facing stark challenges water scarcity, low productivity, food insecurity. This paper highlights major constraints to agricultural traditional irrigation scheduling methods, associated challenges, efforts, progress enhance use efficiency (WUE), conserve water, guarantee security overviewing different smart approaches. Widely used methods (based on weather, plant, soil moisture conditions) usually lack important information needed for precise irrigation, which leads over- or under-irrigation fields. On other hand, using several factors, including climate variation, properties, plant responses deficits, changes in weather can drive better decisions that help save increase yields. Various approaches, such as artificial intelligence deep learning (artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, expert system, hybrid intelligent learning), model predictive systems, variable rate (VRI) technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could ensure high water-scarce regions. These technologies improve management accelerate achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where no one gets left behind.
