N-doped SnO₂ nanowires were synthesized via chemical vapor deposition in the presence of NH₃ gas with SnO₂ nanowires as the precursor. All samples exhibited room-temperature ferromagnetism (FM). X-ray diffraction measurement showed that the FM is intrinsic. Results of vibrating sample magnetometry indicated that FM decreased along with increasing NH₃ flow rate. Further analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the N atom was substituted at the lattice site of O, and NH₃ was chemisorbed in the surface of samples. The chemisorbed NH₃ was the dominant ingredient and main factor causing the significant decrease in FM. However, the FM of the samples after etching was enhanced due to the doped N atoms.

An FPGA-Based SiNW-FET Biosensing System for Real-Time Viral Detection: Hardware Amplification and 1D CNN for Adaptive Noise Reduction.

Sensors (Basel)

Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Sciences and Humanities Sciences, Majmaah University, Al Majmaah 11952, Saudi Arabia.

Impedance-based biosensing has emerged as a critical technology for high-sensitivity biomolecular detection, yet traditional approaches often rely on bulky, costly impedance analyzers, limiting their portability and usability in point-of-care applications. Addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced biosensing system integrating a Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensor with a high-gain amplification circuit and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) implemented on FPGA hardware. This attempt combines SiNW-FET biosensing technology with FPGA-implemented deep learning noise reduction, creating a compact system capable of real-time viral detection with minimal computational latency.

We propose a non-magnetic transparent heating film based on silver nanowires (Ag-NWs) for application in spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetic field measurement devices. To achieve ultra-high sensitivity in atomic magnetometers, the atoms within the alkali metal vapor cell must be maintained in a stable and uniform high-temperature environment. Ag-NWs, as a transparent conductive material with exceptional electrical conductivity, are well suited for this application.

Multilayer Graphene Stacked with Silver Nanowire Networks for Transparent Conductor.

A mechanically robust flexible transparent conductor with high thermal and chemical stability was fabricated from welded silver nanowire networks (w-Ag-NWs) sandwiched between multilayer graphene (MLG) and polyimide (PI) films. By modifying the gas flow dynamics and surface chemistry of the Cu surface during graphene growth, a highly crystalline and uniform MLG film was obtained on the Cu foil, which was then directly coated on the Ag-NW networks to serve as a barrier material. It was found that the highly crystalline layers in the MLG film compensate for structural defects, thus forming a perfect barrier film to shield Ag NWs from oxidation and sulfurization.

In this experiment, we studied a technique that permits the continuous fabrication of electrochromic alginate fibers because there hasn't been much research on electrochromic alginate fibers. Therefore, it's important to investigate ways to increase the application areas of alginate fibers. AgNP‑calcium alginate fibers with high electrical conductivity were prepared by Ag substitution method.

Selective adsorption of unmethylated DNA on ZnO nanowires for separation of methylated DNA.

DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification used as a biomarker for early cancer progression. However, existing methods for DNA methylation analysis are complex, time-consuming, and prone to DNA degradation. This work demonstrates selective capture of unmethylated DNAs using ZnO nanowires without chemical or biological modifications, thereby concentrating methylated DNA, particularly those with high methylation levels that can predict cancer risk.
