The detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in milk is crucial for determining the safety of dairy products, but single mode detection may result in false positives or false negatives. This work presents a dual-mode visual fluorescent/colorimetric ratio sensor for highly sensitive detection of ALP. Zinc meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (ZnTCPP) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were grown on polyacrylonitrile with AlO layers (Al-ZnTCPP@PAN).

Although materials with infrared camouflage capabilities are increasingly being produced, few applications exist in clothing fabrics. Here, graphene/MXene-modified fabric with superior infrared camouflage, Joule heating, and electromagnetic shielding capabilities all in one was prepared by simply scraping a graphene slurry onto alkali-treated cotton fabrics, followed by spraying MXene. The functionality of the modified fabrics after different treatment times was then tested and analyzed.

Whereas cotton as an abundant natural cellulose has been widely used for sustainable and skin-friendly textiles and clothes, developing cotton fabrics with smart functions that could respond to various stimuli is still eagerly desired while remaining a great challenge. Herein, smart multiresponsive cotton fabric with hierarchically copper nanowire interwoven MXene conductive networks that are seamlessly assembled along a 3D woven fabric template for efficient personal healthcare and thermal comfort regulation is successfully developed. The robust hierarchically interwoven conductive network was "glued" and protected by organic conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) along a 3D interconnected fabric template to enhance interfacial adherent and environmental stability.

Article Synopsis
  • Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is an eco-friendly method to address freshwater scarcity, but challenges remain in creating efficient and stable evaporators that resist salt buildup.
  • Researchers have repurposed MXene sediments, known for their high photothermal conversion efficiency, to develop a novel three-dimensional evaporator with aligned pores that facilitates better water transport and light absorption.
  • The resulting self-floating evaporator can achieve impressive evaporation rates, collecting significant amounts of freshwater while also being resistant to oil and salt, effectively utilizing waste MXene material.

Rapid advancements in immersive communications and artificial intelligence have created a pressing demand for high-performance tactile sensing gloves capable of delivering high sensitivity and a wide sensing range. Unfortunately, existing tactile sensing gloves fall short in terms of user comfort and are ill-suited for underwater applications. To address these limitations, we propose a flexible hand gesture recognition glove (GRG) that contains high-performance micropillar tactile sensors (MPTSs) inspired by the flexible tube foot of a starfish.

Highly sensitive ratiometric biosensors have attracted much attention in biomarker detection, but most rely on single-mode signals, which can affect accuracy. The development of new principles and methods for dual-mode ratiometric sensing can enhance detection accuracy. Herein, the zinc(II) meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin/MXene (ZnTCPP/TiCT) hybrids with phosphate-induced stimuli-responsive behavior are used to develop a novel dual-mode fluorescent/electrochemiluminescent (FL/ECL) ratiometric biosensor.

Due to their highly exposed active sites and high aspect ratio caused by their substantial lateral dimension and thin thickness, two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets are currently considered a potential hybrid material for electrochemical sensing. Herein, we present a nickel-based porphyrinic MOF nanosheet as a versatile and robust platform with an enhanced electrochemical detection performance. It is important to note that the nickel porphyrin ligand reacted with Cu(NO)·3HO in a solvothermal process, with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acting as the surfactant to control the anisotropic development of creating a 2D Cu-TCPP(Ni) MOF nanosheet structure.

Introduction: Radical cystectomy with dissection of pelvic lymph nodes and urethral diversion is the standard surgical treatment for muscle-invasive non-metastatic bladder cancer. In rare cases where patients with bladder cancer without distant metastasis have pelvic multi-organ invasion, the cancer compresses or invades the ureter and, in severe cases, leads to bilateral upper urinary tract obstruction and renal damage. The treatment recommended by guidelines often cannot improve the patients' clinical symptoms immediately, and patients cannot complete the treatment owing to severe side effects, resulting in poor survival benefits.

With the rapid development of intelligent electronic devices, conductive fibers have become very critical to signal transmission devices. However, metal-based rigid conductive wires, such as high-modulus copper and silver wires, are prone to signal failure owing to tensile breakage under large strain conditions. Therefore, strain-insensitive stretchable conductive fibers for signal transmission are critical for next-generation wearable devices.
