Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhi) a predominant foodborne pathogen, significantly impacting global public health. Therefore, timely diagnosis is imperative to safeguard overall human health. To address this, we developed a novel CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated electrochemical detection system (biosensor) for targeting the SifA gene of S. typhi. To construct the biosensor, we utilized a screen-printed gold electrode (SPGE) as an electrochemical transducer and CRISPR/Cas12a for detection of SifA gene of S. typhi. The developed electrochemical biosensor exhibited an exceptional detection limit of 0.634 ± 0.029 pM, which was determined through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) by utilizing a potentiostat. We compared the fabricated biosensor with gold standard RT-PCR and the visual detection limit of SifA was found to be 10 μM (in spiked buffer samples). The lower detection limit of fabricated biosensor provides an upper edge over the RT-PCR. Further, the fabricated biosensor also has the potential to serve as a rapid, stable, efficient, and early detection tool for S. typhi, offering promising advancements in diagnostic realms.

Babanki virus is a subtype of the Sindbis virus, a widespread arthropod-borne alphavirus circulating in Eurasia, Africa, and Oceania. Characterized by rashes and arthritis, clinical infections due to Sindbis were mainly reported in Africa, Australia, Asia, and Europe. However, its sub-type, Babanki virus, was reported in Northern Europe and Africa, where its epidemiology potential remains poorly understood.

Flexible thin-film pressure sensors have garnered significant attention due to their applications in industrial inspection and human-computer interactions. However, due to their ultra-thin structure, these sensors often exhibit lower performance, including a narrow pressure response range and low sensitivity, which constrains their further application. The most commonly used microstructure fabrication methods are challenging to apply to ultra-thin functional layers and may compromise the structural stability of the sensors.

Methylene blue is a cationic organic dye commonly found in wastewater, groundwater, and surface water due to industrial discharge into the environment. This emerging pollutant is notably persistent and can pose risks to both human health and the environment. In this study, we developed a Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor employing a BK7 prism coated with 3 nm chromium and 50 nm of gold in the Kretschmann configuration, specifically for the detection of methylene blue.

A highly sensitive sulfur dioxide (SO) photoacoustic gas sensor was developed for the sulfur hexafluoride (SF) decomposition detection in electric power systems by using a novel 266 nm low-cost high-power solid-state pulse laser and a high -factor differential photoacoustic cell. The ultraviolet (UV) pulse laser is based on a passive -switching technology with a high output power of 28 mW. The photoacoustic signal was normalized to the laser power to solve the fluctuation of the photoacoustic signal due to the power instability of the UV laser.
