Amine-functionalized α-cyanostilbene derivatives (Z)-2-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(4-butoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile (ABA) and (Z)-3-(4-butoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(butylamino)phenyl]acrylonitrile (BBA) were designed for specific recognition of picric acid (PA), an environmental and biological pollutant. The 1:1 host-guest complexes formed between the chemosensors and PA enhanced fluorescence quenching, thus leading to sensitive and selective detection in aqueous media and the solid phase.

Carbon dots (CDs), one type of zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, showed extensive application in food analysis. Herein, CDs as fluorometry and colorimetry probes were developed to determine peroxydisulfate (PDS) and phosphate ion (Pi) in food samples. CDs were developed with one-pot hydrothermal process from 5-amino salicylic acid and o/m-phenylenediamine named o/m-CDs.

Diabetes remains one of the most prevalent chronic diseases globally, significantly impacting mortality ratetables. The development of effective treatments for controlling glucose level in blood is critical to improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes. In this sense, smart optical sensors using hydrogels, responsive to external stimuli, have emerged as a revolutionary approach to diabetes care.

Gold-silver synergism has been well documented in many scientific works dealing with luminescent nanostructures that are exploitable in biomedical and environmental application. Frequently, the ratio of Au : Ag in synthetic mixtures was varied to influence the extent of Au-Ag synergism of the resulting luminescent gold-silver nanoclusters (GSNCs). However, in our approach, a new step, maturing under differing conditions using the same Au : Ag ratio (5 : 1), has been investigated systematically for the very first time.

(, Hi) is an opportunistic bacterium that colonizes the upper respiratory tract of humans and frequently causes meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, and other severe infections in children. Early and accurate detection of is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we established a novel diagnostic method by integrating the CRISPR-Cas12a detection platform with multiple cross-displacement amplification (MCDA), termed the Hi-MCDA-CRISPR assay.
