Developing instant detection systems with disease diagnostic capabilities holds immense importance for remote or resource-limited areas. However, the task of creating these systems-which are simultaneously easy to operate, rapid in detection, and cost-effective-remains a challenge. In this study, we present a compact highly sensitive photothermal reverse transcriptase-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) chip (SPRC) designed for the detection of multiple diseases. The nucleic acid (NA) amplification on the chip is achieved through LAMP driven by either LED illumination or simple sunlight focusing. SPRC performs sample addition and amplification within a limited volume and autonomous enrichment of NA during the sample addition process, achieving a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.2 copies per microliter. Through 120 clinical samples, we achieved an accuracy of 95%, with a specificity exceeding 97.5%. Overall, SPRC has achieved promising progress in the application of point-of-care testing (POCT) by using light energy to simultaneously detect multiple diseases.

Biosensors operating in the terahertz (THz) region are gaining substantial interest in biomedical analysis due to their significant potential for high-sensitivity trace-amount solution detection. However, progress in compact, high-sensitivity chips and methods for simple, rapid and trace-level measurements is limited by the spatial resolution of THz waves and their strong absorption in polar solvents. In this work, a compact nonlinear optical crystal (NLOC)-based reflective THz biosensor with a few arrays of asymmetrical meta-atoms was developed.

Long-term polymer flooding exacerbates reservoir heterogeneity, intensifying intra- and inter-layer conflicts, which makes it difficult to recover the remaining oil. Therefore, further improvement in oil recovery after polymer flooding is essential. In this study, a weak gel system was successfully synthesized, and possesses a distinct network structure that becomes more compact as the concentration of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide increases.

The in-depth research on the charge transport properties of BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAHs) still lags far behind studies of their emitting properties. Herein, we report the successfully synthesis of novel ladder-type BN-PAHs (BCNL1 and BCNL2) featuring a highly ordered BC3N2 acene unit, achieved via a nitrogen-directed tandem C-H borylation. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis unambiguously revealed their unique and compact herringbone packing structures.

Conventional two-dimensional (2D) cardiomyocyte differentiation protocols create cells with limited maturity, which impairs their predictive capacity and has driven interest in three-dimensional (3D) engineered cardiac tissue models of varying maturity and scalability. Cardiac spheroids are attractive high-throughput models that have demonstrated improved functional and transcriptional maturity over conventional 2D differentiations. However, these 3D models still tend to have limited contractile and electrical maturity compared to highly engineered cardiac tissues; hence, we incorporated a library of conductive polymer microfibers in cardiac spheroids to determine if fiber properties could accelerate maturation.

Monitoring HO levels in live cells is essential due to its superior stability and possible severity inside the cell. The quest for a superior platform capable of detecting cellular-level hydrogen peroxide (HO) concentrations without necessitating the use of high-cost enzymes is of utmost importance. Here, the quantification of intracellular HO concentrations has been performed using silver metal polymer-based nonenzymatic electrochemical detection.
