Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is an effective and scalable liquid-phase processing method for purifying single species of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from multiple species mixtures. Recent metrological developments have led to advances in the speed of identifying solution parameters leading to more efficient ATPE separations with greater fidelities. In this feature article, we review these developments and discuss their vast potential to further advance SWCNT separations science towards the optimization of production scale processes and the full realization of SWCNT-enabled technologies.

Less than 20% of Australians with type 1 diabetes (T1D) meet recommended glucose targets. Technology use is associated with better glycaemia, with the most advanced being automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, which are now recommended as gold-standard T1D care. Our Australian AID trial shows a wide spectrum of adults with T1D can achieve recommended targets.

Dengue fever is a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, increasingly endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 52-year-old male who developed severe symptoms shortly after returning from a two-week trip to El Salvador, an area known for dengue endemicity. The patient presented with a five-day history of high-grade fever, malaise, diarrhea, dizziness, and intermittent blurry vision, accompanied by chills, dry cough, headaches, and generalized pain.
