This study demonstrates a simple sonochemical method for simultaneously reducing and immobilizing silver nanoparticles onto electrospun PCL nanofibers to create stable SERS substrates, identifying that a 0.5 mM AgNO₃ precursor concentration yields optimal signal enhancement by balancing nanoparticle loading with minimal aggregation.
This study demonstrates that a one-step hydrochloric acid treatment effectively transforms conventional polystyrene microplates into versatile, amine-functionalized platforms for covalent nucleic acid immobilization, enabling sensitive high-throughput detection of oncogenic microRNAs and pathogen-derived DNA sequences via a sandwich hybridization assay.
This study demonstrates that incorporating 30% waste glass powder into alkali-activated materials optimizes the balance between printability and mechanical performance for 3D concrete printing while reducing embodied carbon by approximately 35% compared to conventional cement mortar.
A newly synthesized fluorescent probe, DBH, featuring a Schiff base structure, enables the sensitive and specific detection of Zn²⁺ and S²⁻ ions in living cells while simultaneously serving as a viscosity-responsive sensor for real-time monitoring of styrene polymerization.
This study establishes a robust, integrated authentication framework for *Withania somnifera* by combining DNA barcoding for species identification with validated UPLC-DAD fingerprinting for phytochemical quality control to ensure the integrity of Ashwagandha products.
This study develops a sustainable, porous colorimetric indicator for ammonia nitrogen monitoring by encapsulating ube peel-derived anthocyanins in an optimized gellan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose matrix crosslinked with calcium chloride, which demonstrated effective encapsulation, structural stability, and a strong correlation (R² = 0.9058) for ammonia detection.
Inspired by structural biomimicry, researchers developed a highly active CeO₂@ZIF-90 nanorod nanozyme that enables rapid, dual-mode colorimetric and electrochemical detection of organophosphorus pesticides with high sensitivity, selectivity, and successful application in real food samples.
This study demonstrates that an optimized microwave-assisted Fenton oxidation process effectively reduces chemical and biochemical oxygen demand while eliminating or significantly degrading emerging organic pollutants in mixed industrial wastewater from Nigerian pharmaceutical and clinical facilities, offering a viable pre-treatment solution for resource-limited settings.
This study demonstrates that combining ultra-high hydrostatic pressure with tea saponin micelles significantly enhances naringin extraction from pomelo peel by simultaneously disrupting the tissue matrix and solubilizing the flavonoid, achieving superior yield and energy efficiency compared to conventional methods.
This study presents the synthesis and characterization of an eco-friendly, curcumin-functionalized silver nanoparticle nanocomposite that serves as a sensitive and selective chemosensor for detecting toxic Cadmium (II) ions in water and industrial effluent with a detection limit of 0.0013 ppm.
