This study presents a simple, sensitive, and accurate method for the determination of nickel by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Prior to instrumental measurement, a deep eutectic solvent-based simultaneous complexation and preconcentration (DES-SCP) method was used to preconcentrate nickel from aqueous solution into measurable quantities. The efficiency of the extraction method was enhanced by forming a non-ionic complex of nickel using dithizone as ligand. By mixing the ligand with the DES extractant, simultaneous complexation and preconcentration of nickel were achieved in a single step. Under optimum conditions of the extraction method, the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) values were found to be 2.4 and 8.0 ng/mL, respectively. With respect to direct FAAS measurement, the developed method enhanced the sensitivity of nickel determination by about 169 folds. The accuracy and applicability of the developed method were evaluated by performing spike recovery experiments with lake water sampled from Antarctica. Satisfactory recovery results in the range of 94.0-113.7% were recorded and this validated the developed method as an efficient and green alternative for nickel determination.

Surface science instruments require excellent vacuum to ensure surface cleanliness; they also require control of sample temperature, both to clean the surface of contaminants and to control reaction rates at the surface, for example, for molecular beam epitaxy and studies of heterogeneous catalysis. Standard approaches to sample heating within high vacuum chambers involve passing current through filaments of refractory metals, which then heat the sample by convective, radiative, or electron bombardment induced heat transfer. Such hot filament methods lead to outgassing of molecules from neighboring materials that are inadvertently heated; they also produce electrons and ions that may interfere with other aspects of the surface science experiment.

Background: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has improved our ability to characterize rare cell populations. In practice, cells from different tissues or donors are simultaneously loaded onto the instrument (multiplexed) at the recommended (standard loading) or higher (superloading) numbers to save time and money. Although cost-effective, superloading can stymie computational analyses owing to high multiplet rates and sample complexity.

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs associated with PIWI proteins within the male germline, and they play significant roles in maintaining genome stability via the modulation of gene expression. The piRNAs are implicated in the progression of various cancers, but the simultaneous monitoring of multiple piRNAs remains a challenge. Herein, we construct a single-molecule biosensor based on polymerization-transcription-mediated target regeneration for the simultaneous one-pot detection of multiple piRNAs.

Dominant narratives of solid-organ transplantation foreground vocabularies of gratitude. Solid-organ transplantation is often celebrated in biomedicine for its high-tech innovation and specialization. But transplantation also includes the organizations that oversee the distribution of donated organs to potential recipients who disproportionately outnumber available organs.

The interactions of nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matters (NOMs) dominate the environmental fate of both substances and the organic carbon cycle. Their binding and aggregation mechanisms at the molecular level remain elusive due to the high structural complexity of NOMs and aged NPs. Molecular modeling was used to understand the detailed dynamic interaction mechanism between NOMs and NPs.
