Accurate quantification of interleukin-6 (IL6), a biomarker central to sepsis and cytokine release syndrome, is essential for assessing disease severity. Here, we present a high-performance lateral flow assay (LFA) that leverages a novel conjugate: europium nanoparticles (EuNPs) labels linked via tetrahedral DNA frameworks (TDFs). The TDF precisely controls antibody orientation, minimizes nonspecific binding, and improves conjugate stability. Combined with the strong, time-resolved fluorescence of EuNPs, this design achieves a broad dynamic range and preserves linearity at high analyte concentrations. The platform quantitatively detects IL6 from 0 to 5000 pg/mL within 10 min, showing excellent agreement with reference methods. This DNA-nanostructure-enhanced approach provides a robust and portable point-of-care testing strategy for critical clinical decision-making.

To develop and bench-validate a fully passive, wireless implantable pressure monitoring system (WIPS) for on-demand assessment of intra-sac pressure in patients with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Methods
WIPS includes a flexible 15 mm × 145 mm implant integrating four pressure sensors (MS5839), an RFID tag (ST25DV04KC), and an ultra-low-power microcontroller (STM32L011). The device is powered wirelessly via 13.56 MHz RFID, enabling pressure measurements at configurable resolutions without need for batteries. Data is stored locally and retrieved via an external Reader (RD520). Benchtop tests evaluated power consumption, telemetry range, and sensor linearity in air, heated saline, and a biologically representative meat model. Uniform 1 μm and 2 μm Parylene C coatings were applied intentionally, as two predefined thickness conditions, to evaluate biocompatibility without compromising sensor performance.
Results
Total power consumption remained below 4 mW across all oversampling ratios (OSRs). In free air, reliable telemetry was achieved up to 24 cm at 6 W Reader output. Heated mineral water reduced the optimal distance to 16 cm, and physiological saline limited it to 4 cm. In the Meat Model, a fixed 18 cm tissue path yielded 100% link reliability for OSR ≤ 1024 at 5 W. Parylene C coatings did not alter pressure linearity or hysteresis. The strip is compatible with a 20 F delivery sheath, suggesting compatibility with standard EVAR catheters.
Conclusions
WIPS combines low power consumption, deep-tissue wireless telemetry, and catheter-based deliverability, addressing longstanding limitations in implantable EVAR surveillance tools. These benchtop findings support feasibility for future in vivo testing in large animal models to validate long-term safety and clinical integration.

With the growing demand for sustainable energy storage technologies, potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries have attracted attention as a viable alternative to lithium-ion systems. The abundance of resources, low cost, and high energy density of potassium and sulfur make them ideal candidates for large-scale use in these types of batteries. However, challenges such as the shuttle effect, the low electrical conductivity of sulfur, and significant volume changes during electrochemical reactions pose obstacles to their practical application. Recent research efforts have focused on developing strategies to address these limitations. This study investigates the design and performance of K-S batteries employing potassium polysulfide cathodes (K2Sn, where 2 ≤ n ≤ 4) in combination with a polymer gel electrolyte derived from cellulose modified with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA). The primary aim is to replace conventional liquid electrolytes with this gel-based system to enhance battery efficiency, stability, and safety. This approach effectively suppresses the shuttle effect and promotes efficient K+ ion transport. Among the evaluated cathode materials, K2S3 demonstrated the highest reversible capacity (574 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1) and superior ion diffusion characteristics. By offering a novel solution, this research highlights new directions in development of practical K-S battery technologies.
随着对可持续能源存储技术的需求不断增长，钾-硫（K-S）电池作为锂离子系统的可行替代品引起了人们的关注。钾和硫的丰富资源、低成本和高能量密度使它们成为大规模使用这些类型电池的理想选择。然而，诸如穿梭效应、硫的低电导率以及电化学反应过程中显著的体积变化等挑战阻碍了它们的实际应用。最近的研究工作集中在制定解决这些限制的策略上。本研究研究了K-S电池的设计和性能，该电池采用多硫化钾阴极（K2Sn，其中2≤n≤4）与由聚乙二醇甲基丙烯酸甲醚（PEGMA）改性的纤维素衍生的聚合物凝胶电解质相结合。主要目标是用这种凝胶基系统取代传统的液体电解质，以提高电池的效率、稳定性和安全性。这种方法有效地抑制了穿梭效应，促进了K+离子的高效输运。在评价的正极材料中，K2S3表现出最高的可逆容量（在0.1 A g−1时为574 mAh g−1）和优异的离子扩散特性。通过提供一种新颖的解决方案，本研究突出了实用K-S电池技术发展的新方向。

We developed the high performance supercapacitor device using of the MgWO4 electrode by adding multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Here, the MWCNT-supported MgWO4 nanocomposite was prepared through the simple hydrothermal method. The varying percentages of MWCNT addition have enhanced the electrochemical performance of MgWO4. The prepared MgWO4@M-5 (736 F/g) electrode exhibited an excellent specific capacitance value compared to other electrodes, including MgWO4 (236 F/g), MgWO4@M-0.5 (316 F/g), MgWO4@M − 1 (522 F/g), MgWO4@M-3 (641 F/g) and MgWO4@M-7 (561 F/g). Moreover, the MgWO4@M-5 electrode is utilized as the positive electrode and the activated carbon (AC) is used as the negative electrode for the construction of a pouch-type asymmetric supercapacitor device (ASC). The MgWO4@M-5//AC ASC device shows the maximum specific capacity of 166 mAh/g. In addition, the MgWO4@M-5//AC ASC device delivered a higher energy density of 31.12 Wh/kg with the corresponding power density of 800 W/kg. The MgWO4@M-5//AC ASC device exhibits a capacity retention of 86.23% over 10,000 cycles. In addition, serially connecting two devices has effectively rotated the electric motor fan, and glowing the LED light is the proof of the concept of the fabricated device.

Female tea geometrid moths release sex pheromones to attract male moths to mate, and then lay eggs on tea plants, which determines where the larvae hatch. The larvae preferred to devour the fresh leaves and buds of tea plants. Therefore, it is of great significance to dynamically monitor and detect the population of the female tea geometrid moths in tea plantations. Here, different from the common strategy of detecting male moths by sex pheromone lures, we developed an electrochemical impedance biosensor system based on the pheromone-binding protein 2 (PBP2) from male tea geometrid moths. It showed that this PBP2-biosensor could specifically bind two sex pheromone components at concentrations ranging from 10−7 to 10−4 M and successfully detect live female tea geometrid moths. Molecular docking prediction pinpointed key amino acids involved in the binding between PBP2 and sex pheromone components. Moreover, a mathematical model of the biosensor detection signal was developed based on the number of live moths and the dynamic detection data. The specific PBP2-based biosensor developed in this study not only offers a novel approach for detecting live female tea geometrid moths in the field, but also contributes to the advancement of insect olfactory biosensors for monitoring live pests and further expands the applications of biosystem engineering in the fields of plant protection and agricultural environment.

Semiconductors have performed remarkably since the advent of two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent electrical, optical, and thermal characteristics. This review summarizes the recent progress made in the 2D materials field, i.e., graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and black phosphorus, focusing on their distinct thickness-dependent band structures, charge carrier mobilities, and mechanical properties. This has become a short but powerful interface for mobile devices with fast variations in our speaking circuits, and the power reaches from transistors, photodetectors, and solar cells together with digital electronics, radio-frequency devices, optoelectronics, and sensing technologies. This paper seeks to provide a clear perspective on fabrication, stability, and scale-up challenges by discussing theoretical and experimental approaches and highlighting challenges and innovative methods, including ultrasound-assisted strategies and heterostructure engineering. The present article performed and analysed a systematic literature review on key publications on the fundamental mechanisms and emerging applications of 2D materials in semiconductor technology. The review highlights the role these materials play in improving device performance, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness. The paper concludes with a perspective on future directions, highlighting new research opportunities through advanced doping techniques and defect engineering to address current limitations and propel the broader adoption of 2D materials. This work sets another milestone for next-generation semiconductors. Another unique aspect of the study is its ability to bridge the gap between the fundamental characteristics of 2D semiconductors and real device-level integration. It draws attention to scalability, stability, and complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) compatibility difficulties that were not adequately considered in previous studies. The study discusses sophisticated tactics, including interface optimization and heterostructure engineering. A comparative analysis of 2D materials and their possible real-world semiconductor applications is also included in this chapter.

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a distance-dependent and non-radiative energy transfer process that has become a valuable tool in many fields such as biosensing, bioimaging, photovoltaics, and optoelectronics. Traditional FRET systems often used organic dyes as donors and acceptors, but these dyes have several drawbacks, including low stability, sensitivity to pH, and toxicity. To overcome these issues, researchers have started using nanomaterials of different shapes and sizes in FRET systems. This review explores the role of nanomaterials ranging from zero-to three-dimensional structures as both donors and acceptors in FRET. We discuss how their size, shape, and electronic properties affect the efficiency of energy transfer. Special attention is given to materials like quantum dots, up-conversion nanoparticles, metal nanoclusters, and perovskites. The review also summarizes different donor–acceptor pairs and their use in various applications such as detection, imaging, and solar energy harvesting. By connecting the dimensional features of nanomaterials with their performance, this review provides an overview of current research and future possibilities for FRET-based technologies.

This study proposes a two-phase decision-making framework to evaluate the calorific efficiencies of wood and bark samples obtained from the trunks and branches of fifteen hardwood tree species. The proposed framework integrates the data envelopment analysis (DEA) with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The DEA method is used to perform pairwise comparisons of the wood and bark samples. Ash content, volatile matter content, and fixed carbon content are selected as inputs, while the calorific value is used as the output. The results from the DEA analysis are analyzed using the AHP method to determine precise efficiency ranking indexes. The ranking order of the trunk wood samples is determined as follows: beech, oak, eucalyptus, hophornbeam, hazelnut, poplar, alder, maple, rhododendron, elm, ash, hornbeam, chestnut, linden, and plane. The ranking of the branch wood samples in descending order with the respective DEA-AHP scores is beech, poplar, alder, hophornbeam, oak, hornbeam, ash, rhododendron, eucalyptus, maple, linden, chestnut, plane, elm, and hazelnut. The sequence of the trunk bark samples is poplar, hornbeam, beech, chestnut, ash, alder, rhododendron, linden, hazelnut, maple, hophornbeam, oak, plane, elm, and eucalyptus. Lastly, the priority order of the branch bark samples is as follows: rhododendron, poplar, beech, linden, hornbeam, hazelnut, chestnut, hophornbeam, ash, alder, maple, oak, elm, plane, and eucalyptus. Additionally, comparative and sensitivity analyses are conducted to shed light on efficiency changes between the samples. The proposed framework can be used as a technical reference for selecting the most efficient materials and determining the effects of different input values on efficiency levels.

Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in understanding transport phenomena within nanochannels. Due to the dimensional overlap with the electrical double layer in nanochannels, the electrokinetic behavior in these systems has demonstrated several unconventional characteristics, demonstrating great potential in the fields of materials science and chemistry. This review first introduces the fundamental principles of lower limits and electrokinetics in nanochannels. Next, various techniques for constructing nanochannels are discussed to provide guidance for selecting the proper fabrication methods based on the specific characteristics of the nanochannels. Then, the electrochemical and fluorescence detection methods for electrodynamic phenomena in nanochannels are systematically summarized. Finally, relevant current challenges are briefly addressed to provide inspiring suggestions for further studies and exploration in the nanofluidic electrochemical kinetics.

The “Von Neumann bottleneck” of traditional computing architecture limits the speed of information processing and the physical size limit indicates the end of “More's Law”. Neuromorphic computing, a new computing architecture, is proposed to deal with the challenges. Memristors are potential in analogues of synapses and in neuromorphic computing. A synaptic device based on Au/CsPbI3-xBrx/GaAs memristor is fabricated. Typical synaptic plasticity of the synaptic device is investigated, including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD) and paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) and the synaptic weight of the synaptic device is modulated by ultraviolet and completed the transition from short-term plasticity to long-term plasticity. Under the joint modulation of optical and electrical signals, the biological classical conditioned reflex of Pavlov's condition was achieved, proving that the device can perform associative learning. Furthermore, two artificial neural networks are constructed for modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) data-set recognition to compare the accuracy of a single layer network and convolutional neural network (CNN).
