Nano-biochar considers a versatile and valuable sorbent to enhance plant productivity by improving soil environment and emerged as a novel solution for environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture in modern era. In this study, roles of foliar applied nanobiochar colloidal solution (NBS) on salt stressed tomato plants were investigated. For this purpose, NBS was applied (0%, 1% 3% and 5%) on two groups of plants (control 0 mM and salt stress 60 mM).

Rare earth elements (REEs) are crucial metallic resources that play an essential role in national economies and industrial production. The reclaimation of REEs from wastewater stands as a significant supplementary strategy to bolster the REEs supply. Adsorption techniques are widely recognized as environmentally friendly and sustainable methods for the separation of REEs from wastewater.

The rapid, simple, and sensitive detection of nucleic acid biomarkers plays a significant role in clinical diagnosis. Herein, we develop a label-free and point-of-care approach for isothermal DNA detection through the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12 and the growth of gold nanomaterials in agarose gel. The presence of the target can activate CRISPR-Cas12a to cleave single-stranded DNA, thus modulating the length and number of DNA sequences that mediate the growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or gold nanorods (AuNRs).
