Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>This month's cover is dedicated to the joint project coordinated by Prof. Gianluca M. Farinola involving the Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro, CNR ICCOM and IMIP in Bari, Università Politecnica delle Marche, and Jaber Innovation. The cover picture shows an SEM image of nanostructured biosilica produced by</bold>­ <italic><bold>Thalassiosira weissflogii</bold></italic>­ <bold>diatoms covalently functionalized with the radical scavenger TEMPO (green disks) and loaded with the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (red/white capsules), which is used to combat infections related to orthopedic implants.
