Summary: Despite the rapid growth of smart actuators and sensors in recent years, integrating sensing elements into actuators and simultaneously achieving actuation and sensing tasks remain challenging. In this study, we developed a multi-responsive actuation composite film with integrated resistance sensing capabilities. The film exhibited a wide bending range, fast-bending rate, and high repeatability under humidity, near-infrared light, and applied voltage stimuli. It also showed strain-sensitive resistance and could monitor human motion parameters. The system holds great promise for soft smart robotics, flexible wearable devices, and other integrated multifunctional systems.

Summary: The development of high-performance miniaturized and flexible airflow sensors is vital for emerging applications. In this study, laser-induced graphene (LIG) was used to fabricate high-performance, flexible airflow sensors with different structures including porous LIG, vertical LIG fiber, and suspended LIG fiber structures. Among them, the suspended LIG fiber with scale-like structure achieved the shortest response time, highest sensitivity, and the lowest detection threshold compared to state-of-the-art airflow sensors. These sensors were also demonstrated in various applications. This study will contribute to the development of next-generation waterflow, sound, and motion sensors.

Summary: In this study, we synthesized nanometric B2O3 nanodisks that exhibited intense fluorescence in the visible range. These boron-based nanomaterials were water-dispersible and nontoxic, with a highly crystalline structure. In addition, their bright blue photoluminescence showed high sensitivity and selectivity towards Ni2+ ions in solution, even at extremely low concentrations in the picomolar range. These findings suggest that the B2O3 nanodisks could serve as ultrasensitive multi-messenger Ni2+ nanosensors.

Summary: In this study, copper nanocubes were electrodeposited on graphene nanomaterials to develop a sensitive and selective nanozyme-based electrochemical sensor for dopamine detection in plasma samples. The electrodeposition process of copper was optimized to obtain cubic-shaped nanocubes, increasing the active area of the sensor. Various characterization techniques were used to investigate the surface of the nanomaterial. The nanozyme sensor exhibited a linear response over a wide concentration range and showed high selectivity towards dopamine in the presence of other neurotransmitters. Detection of dopamine in human plasma samples yielded high recovery rates, demonstrating the reliability of the method.

Summary: Strontium-90, a frequently released radioactive product in nuclear reactor waste, poses serious health hazards due to its long half-life and the ability to accumulate in the food chain and bones. However, its identification is challenging due to the absence of characteristic energy rays. In this study, the authors developed a biosensor that uses a fluorogenic dye, thioflavin T, to detect Sr2+ ions with high sensitivity and selectivity. This work provides a technological solution to monitor radioactive strontium pollution and contributes to the sustainability of nuclear power.

Summary: The solubility of polymers in ionic liquids is mainly determined by hydrogen bonding interactions. The excess interaction parameter chi(HB), which accounts for the difference in hydrogen-bonding parameters between the polymer and solvent, provides a significant correction in the Flory-Huggins theory. This finding offers a new screening tool for the solubility of polar polymers, in addition to the like dissolves like principle.

Summary: We have developed a simple and efficient method to process agricultural and forestry biomass into high-tough all-biomass materials by creating hydrogen-bonding networks. This method significantly improves the formability and toughness of biomass materials, which are commonly limited in their application due to poor formability and low toughness. By combining a paper-making process with in situ welding, a regenerated cellulose material with layered microstructure is formed, allowing energy dissipation during stretching and resulting in tough and strong cellulose plastics. This scalable process has the potential to transform various agricultural and forestry wastes into eco-friendly materials, contributing to environmental protection and bioresource utilization.
