Round, small-sized coverslips were coated for the first time with thin layers of indium tin oxide (ITO, 10-40 nm)/gold (Au, 2-8 nm) and annealed at 550 °C for several hours. The resulting nanostructures on miniaturized substrates were further optimized for the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) chemosensing of a model molecule-1,2-bis-(4-ppyridyl)-ethene (BPE)-with a detection limit of 10 M BPE in an aqueous solution. All the fabrication steps of plasmonic-annealed platforms were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Dapoxetine (DPX) belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class and functions by blocking the serotonin transporter and increasing serotonin activity, thereby delaying ejaculation. Therefore, monitoring of the concentration of DPX in human biofluids is important for clinicians. In this study, application of silver nanoparticles with the morphology of prisms (AgNPrs) for the sensitive measurement of DPX using colorimetric chemosensing and the spectrophotometric method was investigated.

Unisensory cues are often insufficient for animals to effectively engage in foraging, mating, and predatory activities. In contrast, integration of cues collected from multiple sensory organs enhances the overall perceptual experience and thereby facilitates better decision-making. Despite the importance of multisensory integration in animals, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and neuromorphic computing has primarily focused on processing unisensory information.

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a critical product of polyunsaturated adipose acid peroxidation and represents a common biomarker of oxidative stress. The effect of different MDA concentrations on human biofluids reflects pathological changes, which has been seen in diverse types of sickness, such as leukemia, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and age-related macular degeneration and liver disease. In this study, different types of silver nanoparticles, including silver nanoprism (AgNPrs), silver nanowires (AgNWs), and silver nanospheres (AgNSs), were synthesized and used for the chemosensing of MDA by colorimetric and spectrophotometric methods.

Illegal use of ractopamine (RAC) in the food industry has dire consequences for health which should be curbed by inexpensive on-site checks. In this study, four advanced nanostructures of AuNPs were examined for this purpose. For the first time, a novel cost-effective colorimetric opto-sensor based on gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution was developed and successfully utilized for the recognition of RAC in real samples.

The discovery of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon in 2001 has had a significant impact on materials development across different research disciplines. AIE-active materials have been widely exploited for various applications in optoelectronics, sensing, biomedical, and stimuli-responsive systems, etc. This is made possible by integrating AIE features with other fields of science and engineering, such as nanoscience and nanotechnology.
