The effects of a nanocarbon solution on the nutrients, glucosinolate metabolism and glucoraphanin pathway in broccoli were investigated. Significant positive linear relationships were observed between the nanocarbon solution and total protein yield, although effects on the soluble sugars, vitamin C and dry matter production were not observed. All nanocarbon solutions significantly increased the glucoraphanin content ( < 0.05), and the 18.75 L·ha nanocarbon solution maximally increased the glucoraphanin content by 22.9 %. However, these treatments also significantly reduced the contents of glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin and neoglucobrassicin. Further research demonstrated that the 18.75 L·ha nanocarbon solution significantly upregulated the , , , , , and expression levels, which directly resulted in the accumulation of glucoraphanin and glucoerucin. This study provides insights into the prospective nanotechnological approaches for developing efficient and environmentally friendly nanocarbon solution for use on crops.

Advanced carbon-metal hybrid materials with controllable electronic and optical properties, as well as chemical reactivities, have attracted significant attention for emerging applications, including energy conversion and storage, catalysis and environmental protection. However, the commercialization of these materials is hampered by several vital problems, including energy-intensive synthesis and expensive chemicals, and inefficient control of their structures and properties. Herein, we report the simple and controllable engineering of nanocarbon-metal self-assembled silver nanocatalysts (SSNs) derived from polycarbonate (PC)-based optical discs using microplasmas under ambient conditions.

Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structure NaMnV(PO) (NVMP) electrode materials reveal highly attractive application prospects due to ultrahigh energy density originating from two-electron reactions. Nevertheless, NVMP also encounters challenges with its poor electronic conductivity, Mn dissolution, and Jahn-Teller distortion. To address this issue, utilizing N-doped carbon layers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for dual encapsulation enhances the material's electronic conductivity, creating an effective electron transport network that promotes the rapid diffusion and storage of Na.

We recently demonstrated molecular plasmons in cyanine dyes for the conversion of photon energy into mechanical energy through a whole-molecule coherent vibronic-driven-action. Here we present a model, a molecular plasmon analogue of molecular orbital theory and of plasmon hybridization in metal nanostructures. This model describes that molecular plasmons can be obtained from the combination or hybridization of elementary molecular fragments, resulting in molecules with hybridized plasmon resonances in the electromagnetic spectrum.

The electrochemical conversion of CO into high value-added carbon materials by molten salt electrolysis offers a promising solution for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This study focuses on investigating the influence of molten salt composition on the structure of CO direct electroreduction carbon products in chloride molten salt systems. Using CaO as a CO absorber, the adsorption principle of CO in LiCl-CaCl, LiCl-CaCl-NaCl and LiCl-CaCl-KCl molten salts was discussed, and the reasons for the different morphologies and structures of carbon products were analyzed, and it was found that the electrolytic efficiency of the whole process exceeded 85%.

Detection of bacteremia requires recognizing bloodstream bacteria. Early identification of bacteremia is imperative for treatment and prevents the escalation to systemic infections like septicaemia. This paper introduces a novel, label-free biosensor based on liquid crystals (LCs), designed to offer rapid and reliable optical detection of blood pathogens without using traditional PCR methods.
