We investigate the interaction of hydrophilic blue emitting carbon spindles with various deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) having different base pair compositions, such as Herring testes (HT), calf thymus (CT), Escherichia coli (EC) and Micrococcus lysodeikticus (ML) DNA, to understand the mode of interaction. Interestingly, the fluorescent carbon spindles selectively interacted with E. coli DNA resulting in enhanced fluorescence of the former. Interaction of the same carbon with other DNAs exhibited insignificant changes in fluorescence. In addition, in the presence of EC DNA, the D band in the Raman spectrum attributed to the defect state completely disappeared, resulting in enhanced crystallinity. Microscopy images confirmed the wrapping of DNA on the carbon spindles leading to the assembly of spindles in the form of flowers. Dissociation of double-stranded DNA occurred upon interaction with carbon spindles, resulting in selective E. coli DNA interaction. The carbon spindles also exhibited a similar fluorescence enhancement upon treating with E. coli bacteria. These results confirm the possibility of E. coli detection in water and other liquid foods using such fluorescent carbon.

Carbon fiber/polyether ether ketone (CF/PEEK) is widely used in aerospace, transportation, and other high-end industries for its light weight, high strength, and recyclability. However, its inherently brittle-ductile two-phase structure presents challenges in processing CF/PEEK. This paper introduces a laser-assisted milling method, wherein four types of CF/PEEK unidirectional plates (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) are milled under varying laser powers and spindle speeds.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) composites are being increasingly used in aerospace, biomedical, and other industries due to their superior mechanical properties. However, CF/PEEK structural components require secondary processing after curing and molding to meet connection and assembly precision requirements. This process, however, often results in defects such as burrs and pits, which significantly compromise the mechanical performance and assembly quality of the structural components.

Precise detection of ultralow-level antibiotics, such as picomole, in aqueous environments is significant for human health, however, it presents a great challenge to the adsorption capacity and electrocatalytic ability of sensing materials. Here, we used a one-step hydrothermal method to in situ grow spindle-like CoFe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with a size of about 50 nm in the region of hydrophilic MXene-loading hydrophobic carbon paper. By combining MOFs with abundant adsorption sites and MXene with high conductivity, the problems of adsorption and electrons transfer of ultralow-level antibiotics have been solved, and achieving precise detection of picomole-level antibiotics.

The ultrahigh-sensitive detection of HS is reported using a novel dual-ligand metal-organic framework (MOF) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. By combining tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) pyrene (TBAPy) as ligands and employing zirconium as the metal source, a spindle-shaped Zr-PyTCPPMOF was successfully designed and synthesized. Notably, the multiple nitrogen structures of porphyrin provided abundant binding sites for sulfur (S), further enhancing the ECL signal of Zr-PyTCPPMOF.

SUMOylation, the modification of proteins with a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), is known to regulate various cellular events, including cell division. This process is dynamic, with its status depending on the balance between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation. While the regulation of cell division by sentrin-specific protease (SENP) family proteins through deSUMOylation has been investigated, the role of another deSUMOylase, deSUMOylating isopeptidase 1 (DESI1), remains unknown.
