Leptospirosis is an acute bacterial febrile disease affecting humans and animals in many tropical and subtropical countries. This work presents an optimization of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates to probe vibrational spectroscopic detail from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The pathogenic gene of LipL32 was used as a biomarker.

Article Synopsis
  • - Organic phototransistors are being explored for their ability to track the effectiveness of photosensitive drugs in phototherapy, but struggle to detect UV light due to their narrow bandgap.
  • - The incorporation of PCBM nanocrystals into donor-acceptor (D-A) polymer semiconductors enhances UV photodetection by creating a band mismatch at the interface and significantly modulating threshold voltage.
  • - Devices with PCBM nanocrystals show a photoresponsivity of 0.16 A/W and a detection rate of 2.00 × 10 Jones, both significantly outperforming devices without the nanocrystals by 50% and 100%, respectively, indicating a promising way to boost UV detection in these phototrans
