We have developed a general numerical/analytical theory of non-faradaic impedance of an evaporating droplet, and validated the model by experiments involving droplets of various analyte concentrations deposited on a surface defined by coplanar electrodes. The impedance of the droplet Z(n0,t,f) is analyzed as a function of the concentration (n0) of the ions in the solution, the measurement frequency (f) and the evaporation time (t). We illustrate the versatility of the model by determining the sensitivity enhancement α(t) of the droplet-based impedimetric nano-biosensor under different regimes of operation. The model should have broad applications in the characterization/optimization of droplet-based systems, especially lab-on-chip components involving digital microfluidics.

Bacteria pose a significant threat to human health as they can cause diseases and outbreaks; therefore rapid, easy, and specific detection of bacteria in a short time is crucial. Various methods such as polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have been developed for bacteria detection. However, most of these methods require sample preparation, trained personnel, and 2-4 days for identification.

The interface issue poses a limitation on the fast charging of solid-state batteries (SSBs), with the high-impedance non-Faraday electric field serving as a pivotal factor. However, the mechanism of fast-charging capability degradation triggered by the dynamic evolution of non-Faraday electric fields remains unclear due to the lack of particle-scale nondestructive detection techniques. Here, we dissect the generation and elimination processes of non-Faradaic electric field in segments using the developed operando cryogenic transmission X-ray microscopy (Cryo-TXM).

Article Synopsis
- This work presents a comparative study of electrical and optical methods used to characterize a redox-labeled DNA sensing platform and evaluate its signal transduction efficiency.
- The study utilized conventional electrochemical techniques—cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)—and contrasted these with optical measurements based on surface plasmon waves during similar electrochemical conditions.
- Results showed that optical impedance spectroscopy is a viable and effective method for developing a biosensing strategy that is less affected by non-faradaic interference, highlighting its potential in enhancing DNA-hybridization sensing applications.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on creating a carbon black-based electrode enhanced with gold (Au) microflowers, aimed at improving its function as a biosensor to detect PARK7/DJ-1, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease.
- - The use of Au microflowers helps effectively immobilize antibodies, allowing for the detection of protein binding by monitoring capacitance changes on the sensor's surface.
- - Characterization techniques showed that these flower-like structures boost the sensor's performance, achieving a detection limit of 0.207 ng/mL for PARK7/DJ-1, which could aid in identifying early signs of Parkinson's disease.
