Summary: The unique sensor array approach presented in this study utilizes imprint-and-report DCLs to obviate the need for receptor synthesis and isolation, providing a high-throughput method for both developing a sensor array and analyzing data for analyte differentiation. The strategy leverages information stored in DCLs in the form of differential library speciation, resulting in a larger payoff due to the immense information stored within multiple noncovalent networks.

Summary: The treatment and detection of ozone have been widely studied, but the measurement method of ozone is relatively lacking. Fortunately, the cataluminescence (CTL) sensor provides a real-time ozone sensing scheme in a tiny system. By using silica-hydroxyl functional boron nitride as the sensing material and coupling it with a vacuum static sampling system, this sensor system can rapidly and sensitively detect ozone.

Summary: Chemical sensing aims to detect the physical or chemical properties of molecules or ionic species and convert that information into distinguishable output. The olfactory system of animals serves as the prototype for chemical sensing, while the human sense of smell is a fundamental and powerful ability. Olfaction's chemical specificity does not come from specific receptors, but from pattern recognition of combined responses of olfactory receptors.

Summary: Sitting posture recognition is important for preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Existing methods such as cameras and wearables have privacy concerns and inconveniences, while pressure sensors cannot accurately recognize different body parts' states. In this study, a novel privacy-preserving and unobtrusive sitting posture recognition system is proposed, combining a pressure array sensor with an infrared array sensor, along with a deep learning-based recognition algorithm.

Summary: In this study, one-dimensional Co2Mn2O4 hollow nanofibers with a general spinel structure were successfully constructed by electrospinning and thermal-driven procedures. The catalyst exhibited improved catalytic efficiency in phenol degradation, attributed to its active interfacial engineering effect and tailored oxygen-vacancy sites. Additionally, the presence of specific cobalt species in the structural unit of the Co2Mn2O4 spinel contributed to enhanced catalytic activity through intermetallic synergy and beneficial electron transfer cycles.
