This paper describes a portable microwave assisted extraction apparatus (PMAE) for extraction of bioactive compounds especially essential oils and aromas directly in a crop or in a forest. The developed procedure, based on the concept of green analytical chemistry, is appropriate to obtain direct in-field information about the level of essential oils in natural samples and to illustrate green chemical lesson and research. The efficiency of this experiment was validated for the extraction of essential oil of rosemary directly in a crop and allows obtaining a quantitative information on the content of essential oil, which was similar to that obtained by conventional methods in the laboratory.

Environmental safety and protection is one of the most concerned topics nowadays. To conveniently monitor toxic S/CrO and to regulate bioactive Fe, Ti-co-Ce oxide decorated chitosan fiber (Ti-co-Ce ox@CC) was developed using microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The integration of chitosan fiber and nano Ti-co-Ce oxide endowed Ti-co-Ce ox@CC with superior oxidase-like activity and improved water-dispersibility.

A method is presented for high-precision chemical detection that integrates quantum sensing with droplet microfluidics. Using nanodiamonds (ND) with fluorescent nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers as quantum sensors, rapidly flowing microdroplets containing analyte molecules are analyzed. A noise-suppressed mode of optically detected magnetic resonance is enabled by pairing controllable flow with microwave control of NV electronic spins, to detect analyte-induced signals of a few hundredths of a percent of the ND fluorescence.

Purpose: Mild Traumatic brain injury is classified based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS 13-15), it also involves transient alteration of brain function, which may lead to severe short- and long-term sequelae. When treating a patient with a mild head injury outside the hospital, it is of crucial importance to decide whether to transport him to a center without neurosurgery or to a center equipped with neurosurgery (primary centralization). Recent decades have seen exploration of portable, non-invasive devices for intracranial injury and stroke detection, with microwave frequency electromagnetic field technology showing promising clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- A 2D flexible hydrogel (GO/CNF) is created by combining graphene oxide (GO) with cellulose nanofiber (CNF) using microwave-assisted hydrothermal methods, resulting in a superhydrophilic material with a layered structure.
- * The optimal mass ratio of GO to CNF is 3:1, leading to a specific capacitance of 295 F/g and improved electrochemical performance when used as free-standing electrodes in a three-electrode system.
- * The enhanced properties of the hydrogel, especially at a press pressure that increases hydrophilicity, suggest its potential for use in flexible solid-state supercapacitors, wearable electronics, and biological signal detection with a high energy density of 20.6

Next-generation 2D materials, such as transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), have received increasing attention owing to their physicochemical properties. In this study, we synthesized highly intense fluorescent materials, nitrogen-doped MXene quantum dots (N-MQDs) using an easy and less time-consuming microwave-assisted method. These N-MQDs are spherical, fluorescent, and highly sensitive materials, as confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-visible, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, zeta potential, and contact angle measurements.
