We developed an ultrafast one-step RT-qPCR assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection, which can be completed in only 30 min on benchtop CFX96. The assay significantly reduces the running time of conventional RT-qPCR: reduced RT step from 10 to 1 min, and reduced the PCR cycle of denaturation from 10 to 1 s and extension from 30 to 1 s. A cohort of 60 nasopharyngeal swab samples testing showed that the assay had a clinical sensitivity of 100% and a clinical specificity of 100%.

Conductive eutectogels have emerged as candidates for constructing functional flexible electronics as they are free from the constraints posed by inherent defects associated with solvents and feeble network structures. Nevertheless, developing a facile, environmentally friendly, and rapid polymerization strategy for the construction of conductive eutectogels with integrated multifunctionality is still immensely challenging. Herein, a conductive eutectogel is fabricated through a one-step dialdehyde xylan (DAX)/liquid metal (LM)-initiated polymerization of a deep eutectic solvent.

The initial electron transfer (ET) processes in reaction centers (RCs) of Chloroflexus (Cfl.) aurantiacus were studied at 295 K using femtosecond transient absorption (TA) difference spectroscopy. Particular attention was paid to the decay kinetics of the primary electron donor excited state (P) and the formation/decay of the absorption band of the monomeric bacteriochlorophyll a anion (B) at ~ 1035 nm, which reflects the dynamics of the charge-separated state PB.

Manipulating the thermal emission in the infrared (IR) range significantly impacts both fundamental scientific research and various technological applications, including IR thermal camouflage, information encryption, and radiative cooling. While prior research has put forth numerous materials and structures for these objectives, the significant challenge lies in attaining spatially resolved and dynamically multilevel control over their thermal emissions. In this study, a one-step ultrafast laser writing technique is experimentally demonstrated to achieve position-selective control over thermal emission based on the phase-change material GeSbTe (GST).

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have garnered considerable interest in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. This study detail the synthesis of single-atom Pd catalysts supported on metal oxides using the Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) method. This technique allows for the preparation of TiO with abundant oxygen vacancies by incorporating a hydrogen-rich atmosphere at high temperature (>2000 K) utilizing the quenching ring, which enhances the catalyst synthesis process.

Mixed dimensional van der Waals heterostructure based on layered two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS) interfaced to gallium nitride (GaN) has attracted tremendous attention due to its unique properties and application in novel electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum devices. However, developing facile synthesis methods and insights into the exciton dynamics for this system still remains a major challenge. Here, a simple and cost-effective method is demonstrated for large-scale synthesis of monolayer MoS on differently doped GaN substrates.
