Summary: Researchers have successfully synthesized wurtzite-phase HgTe nanorods using a two-step cation-exchange strategy. The residual Cu content in the final HgTe nanorods can be tuned by adjusting the solvent concentrations, and the photoluminescence peak position of the nanorods can be controlled by reducing the residual Cu content. Furthermore, field-effect transistors based on the synthesized HgTe nanorods exhibit favorable transport characteristics, and the photodetectors show high responsivity.

Summary: A portable fluorescence immunosensor based on CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) was developed for the precise quantification of olaquindox (OLA). The QDs labeled anti-OLA antibody served as a bioprobe and greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the lateral flow test strip. The method achieved quantitative results within 8 minutes using a fluorescent strip scan reader, with a detection limit of 0.12 μg/kg, 2.7 times more sensitive than the conventional colloidal gold-based strips. Acceptable recovery rates of 85.0%-95.5% were obtained for spiked samples. This QDs-based strip immunoassay method is suitable for on-site detection and rapid initial screening of OLA in swine feedstuff, and has the potential for detecting other veterinary drugs to ensure food safety.

Summary: We reported a case of a 14-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed disseminated mucormycosis during induction therapy. Disseminated Cunninghamella elegans infection was confirmed by histopathology, microbiological culture, and metagenomic next-generation sequencing analysis. The patient received a combination of liposomal amphotericin B, posaconazole, and caspofungin for antifungal treatment, but eventually died due to severe fungal pneumonia, respiratory failure, and septic shock. Furthermore, case reports of pulmonary mucormycosis in children published since 1959 were reviewed. In summary, metagenomic next-generation sequencing is an effective diagnostic method for Cunninghamella with high speed and sensitivity.

Summary: Developing a rational sorbent for clearing up viscous crude oil remains a difficult challenge that requires both fast oil absorption capability and a scalable fabrication process. In this study, a heatable hydrophobic sponge sorbent (H-MXene/PVA/MS) was successfully fabricated using a simple top-down approach. The sorbent demonstrated excellent light/Joule-heating performances, enabling rapid conversion of solar/electricity into heat. The high surface temperature of the sorbent significantly improved the oil absorption rate under sunlight or low applied voltage. The sorbent also showed great potential in practical applications due to its durability, elasticity, and suitability for large-scale production.

Summary: This study investigates the application of two-dimensional (2D) F-WS2/CP composite films as microwave absorbing materials. Flower-like WS2 is loaded on the surface of carbon paper (CP) through a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology and microwave absorption (MA) performance of the composite films can be regulated by adjusting the amount of reaction precursors. The combination of WS2 and CP improves the electromagnetic wave attenuation performance through multiple loss mechanisms. At low filler content, the composite film exhibits excellent MA properties at thinner thickness, providing inspiration for the preparation of efficient 2D thin-film microwave absorbers in the future.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
