The recognition of small molecules plays a crucial role in disease diagnosis, environmental assessment, and food safety. Currently, their recognition elements predominantly rely on antibodies and aptamers while suffering from a limitation of the complex screening process due to the low immunogenicity of small molecules. Herein, we present a top-down computational design strategy for molecule recognition peptides (MRPs) for enzyme-peptide self-assembly and chemiluminescence biosensing.

Diamond particles have many interesting properties and possible applications. However, producing diamond particles with well-defined shapes on a large scale is challenging because diamonds are chemically inert and extremely hard. Here, we show that air oxidation, a routine method for purifying diamonds, can be used to precisely shape diamond particles at scale.

This study introduces an innovative bioinspired hydrogel scaffold tailored to facilitate the in-situ integration of hybrid nanoflowers (HNFs) into the sensing interface, thereby establishing a versatile dual-mode platform for the sensitive profiling of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, a pivotal aspect in the pursuit of Alzheimer's disease therapeutics. Mimicking the tenacious anchoring of natural tree roots, our design employs magnetic bead imprinting with Strep-Tactin-coated magnetic beads (STMBs) to shape the hydrogel, which is then complemented by the integration of AChE-specific aptamers. This configuration creates a stable and biomimetic environment that nurtures HNF growth, thereby enhancing the binding integrity of HNFs with sensing interfaces.

Flexible supercapacitors offer significant potential for powering next-generation flexible electronics. However, the mechanical and electrochemical stability of flexible supercapacitors under different flexibility conditions is limited by the weak bonding between neighboring layers, posing a major obstacle to their practical application. In this paper, natural coniferous pulp cellulose was successfully modified with ethylenediamine and NiSe/Cell-NH/MoS cellulose flexible electrodes (NCMF) were fabricated by phase transfer and hydrothermal methods.
