Cobalt is an essential metal to maintain several functions in the human body and is present in functional materials for numerous applications. Thus, to monitor these functions, it is necessary to develop suitable probes for the detection of cobalt. Presently, researchers are focused on designing different chemosensors for the qualitative and quantitative detection of the metal ions. Among the numerous methods devised for the identification of cobalt ions, colorimetric and fluorimetric techniques are considered the best choice due to their user-friendly nature, sensitivity, accuracy, linearity and robustness. In these techniques, the interaction of the analyte with the chemosensor leads to structural changes in the molecule, causing the emission and excitation intensities (bathochromic, hyperchromic, hypochromic, and hypsochromic) to change with a change in the concentration of the analyte. In this review, the recent advancements in the fluorimetric and colorimetric detection of cobalt ions are systematically summarized, and it is concluded that the development of chemosensors having distinctive colour changes when interacting with cobalt ions has been targeted for on-site detection. The chemosensors are grouped in various categories and their comparison and the discussion of computational studies will enable readers to have a quick overview and help in designing effective and efficient probes for the detection of cobalt in the field of chemo-sensing.

A simple, fast, and cost-effective colorimetric nitrite (NO) sensor based on ZIF-67-derived CoO nanocomposite (ZCo-2 NC) structure has been developed. The prepared colorimetric sensor (ZCo-2 NC) was employed to sensitively detect NO in drinking water system by the exhibition of promising peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme-like features. The sensor manifest well-determined sensing response with excellent linear and wide range of NO sensitivity (0.

This study elucidated the radiation response characteristics of a Gafchromic radiochromic film subjected to low photon doses of ≤50 mSv, which corresponds to the annual whole body effective dose limit for radiation workers in Canada. Radiochromic films are investigated for possible use as a complementary tool for the Canadian Armed Forces that can be worn in addition to their existing personal dosimetry to quickly assess personal radiation dose received from radiological hazards without reliance on electronics. The films were exposed to varying photon energies emanating from x-ray generators and radioisotopes, specifically cesium-137, cobalt-60, and americium-241.

Article Synopsis
- Non-triple helical collagen polypeptides (NTHs) are produced in tumor cells and tissues, lacking the typical collagen structure, and were found in various tumor cell lines and human lung cancer samples.
- NTH production is influenced by serum concentration and hypoxic conditions, and they may play a role in tumor angiogenesis despite the presence of adequate ascorbic acid.
- The study indicates that NTH production correlates with the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), but HIF-1α doesn’t directly drive NTH α1(IV) production, suggesting NTHs could be potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
Systematic study of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for enhanced electrochemical aldehyde sensing.

Four distinct zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are prepared using zinc and cobalt ions with 2-aminobenzimidazole and 2-methylimidazole as linkers to explore their electrochemical properties as platforms for aldehyde detection. The resulting ZIF-based sensors exhibit high sensitivity, low detection limits, and robust performance when applied to real-world samples.

By integrating iron-cobalt squarate bimetallic metal-organic framework (Fe-Co-SqBMoF) based smart material (SM) with functional DNA (fDNA), we designed a target responsive fDNA@Fe-Co-SqBMoF bioelectrode that exhibits recognition induced switchable response to serve as a reagentless single step electrochemical apta-switch (REA). The construct takes advantage of fDNA ability to bind and concentrate target on the receptor interface, while Fe-Co-SqBMoF@SM multifeatures to serve as an immobilization matrix and a signal generating electrochemical switch. Fe-Co-SqBMoF was introduced to prepare a redox active pencil graphite electrode (PGE), while fDNA (aptamer) was decorated on the receptor PGE to impart specificity and selectivity.
