We report on the synthesis of CdS(x)Se(1-x) nanowires by pulsed-laser deposition and their application to optical sensors. We developed a suspended structure for a nanowire-based optical sensor. This structure comprised separated nanowires that were suspended in the desired position between two pre-patterned electrodes. We found from measuring photoluminescence that the direct bandgap energy of the nanowires changes linearly with the composition of sulfur in the nanowires. These findings show that the bandgap energy of the nanowires can be systematically modulated in the range of 1.7-2.4 eV. The cutoff wavelength of the fabricated optical sensors shifted toward the longer wavelength with increasing sulfur composition. We found that the CdS(x)Se(1-x) nanowires have sufficient potential for a broad band optoelectronic device involving photosensors.

Understanding the mechanism of drug action in biological systems is facilitated by the interactions between small molecules and target chiral biomolecules. In this context, focusing on the enantiomeric recognition of carbohydrates in solution through steady-state fluorescence emission spectroscopy is noteworthy. To this end, we have developed a third generation of chiral optical sensors for carbohydrates, distinct from all of those previously presented, which interact with carbohydrates to form non-covalent probe-analyte interactions.

In this research, the preparation of copper cobaltite (CuCoO) nanorods and its potential application in photoelectrochemical sensing platform towards ultrasensitive detection of furazolidone are reported. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy have been performed to confirm the formation, morphology, phase composition, and optical properties of CuCoO synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The electrochemical characteristic parameters were calculated electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and chronoamperometry techniques in the absence and presence of laser light irradiation.

This paper presents a compact all-fiber multicomponent gas Raman probe using a dual-fiber architecture within a platinum-coated capillary. The probe eliminates the need for conventional optical components like filters and dichroic mirrors by strategically employing metal coating on the excitation fiber's surface to suppress interference signals. A detailed analysis of the silica Raman signal and fluorescence propagation within the system facilitated this design.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), an avian coronavirus, member of the genus Gammacoronavirus, poses significant threats to poultry health, causing severe respiratory, reproductive, and renal infections. The genetic diversity of IBV, driven by mutations, recombination and deletions, has led to the emergence of numerous serotypes and genotypes, complicating both diagnosis and control measures. Rapid and accurate diagnostic tools are essential for effective disease management and minimizing economic losses.

Malaria is one of the most deadly infectious diseases, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of patients each year. Global efforts to combat malaria necessitate the implementation of novel rapid diagnostic tests deployable at the point of care. Here, we present the development of an electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensor for the quantification of the malaria biomarker Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH).
