The induction of nanotechnology prevails against several issues threatening healthiness of plants and presents a powerful mean to defeat food crisis in a world of oversized inhabitants. Nanotechnology contributes numerous gadgets and constituents as nanostructures such as nano herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and biosensors which play momentous roles in killing/suppression of weeds and pests, ingenious supply of nutrients and nourishing substances in soils. Actinobacteria, a class of microorganisms is known for production of antibiotics, growth promoting substances, hydrolytic enzymes and volatile compounds. Actinobacterial assisted synthesis of nanoparticles symbolizes an attractive technique as compared to traditional physico-chemical means as synthesis can be accomplished in assistance with bioremediation processes and can also diminish the utilization or manufacturing of hazardous matters having harmful effects on mankind and ecosystem as well. Therefore, this pioneering technology could carry out liable functions in agriculture by increasing food productivity in lucrative and environmental secured manner and could transfigure the agriculture system through employment of its tenets in adept ways.

Superior to traditional multiplex photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, integrated multitarget assay on a single reconstructive electrode interface is promising in real-time detection through eliminating the need of specialized instrumentation and cumbersome interfacial modifications. Current interface reconstruction approaches including pH modulation and bioenzyme cleavage involve biohazardous and time-consuming operations, which cannot meet the demand for rapid, eco-friendly, and portable detection, which are detrimental to the development of multiplex PEC sensors toward portability. Herein, we report a pioneer work on IR-driven "four-to-one" multisignal conditioning to facile reconfigure electrode interface for multitarget detection via photoelectrochemical/photothermal dual mode.

Strategies to acquire high-efficiency luminogens that emit in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) range are still rare due to the impediment of the energy gap law. Herein, a feasible strategy is pioneered by installing large-volume encumbrances in a confined space to intensify the repulsive interactions arising from overlapping electron densities. The experimental results, including smaller coordinate displacement, reduced reorganization energy, and suppressed internal conversion, demonstrate that the repulsive interactions assist in the inhibition of radiationless deactivation.

This study details a genomics-based approach for the early detection of mosquito-borne pathogens, marked by Uruguay's first ever complete genomic sequencing of Dengue Virus type I genotypes I and V. This pioneering effort has facilitated the prompt identification of these genotypes within the country, enabling Uruguayan public health authorities to develop timely and effective response strategies. Further integrated into this approach is a climate-driven suitability measure, closely associated with Dengue case reports and indicative of the local climate's role in the virus's transmission in the country within the changing climate context.

The simultaneous removal reaction (SRR) is a pioneering approach for achieving the simultaneous removal of anthropogenic NO and CO pollutants through catalytic reactions. To facilitate this removal across diverse industrial fields, it is crucial to understand the trade-offs and synergies among the multiple reactions involved in the SRR process. In this study, we developed mixed metal oxide nanostructures derived from layered double hydroxides as catalysts for the SRR, achieving high catalytic conversions of 93.
