Nanowires (NWs) are critically important building blocks of nanotechnology for sensing, biosensing and bioelectronics. However, in order to avoid complex and stiff configurations reported, a simpler and disposable approach is needed. Nickel nanowires (NiNWs) are one of the most promising alternatives because they allow magnetic manipulations through the application of an external magnetic field and they remain to be exploited in analytical field for electrochemical biosensing in real samples. In this work, NiNWs were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS) and then easily used in the construction of disposable detectors on carbon-screen printed electrodes (CSPEs). Fabricated NiNWs using alumina templates were about 330 nm of diameter and 6 mu m lengths. XPS revealed that NiNWs based electrodes contained just a 0.9% of Ni with an enhancement of current density of about 65 times in comparison with Ni-bulk electrode under flow conditions. Electrochemically activated NiNWs (at -1.5V, 600 s under magnetic field of 2 x 4200G) gave the best signal-to-noise performance exhibiting fast response time to representative carbohydrate, very good mechanical stability, no memory effect and an extreme resistance to fouling under hydrodynamics conditions allowing an excellent analytical performance on the board of just one disposable single-electrode (RSDs <= 7%, n = 50). Analytical performance of NiNWs was also excellent in the analysis of selected samples exhibiting very good reliability, precision (RSDs <= 2%) and recovery rates (95-115%). NiNWs are becoming a simple and easy-to-use nanotool for fast, reliable and decentralized sensing of carbohydrates; and as a consequence, disposable nanoanalytics is approaching.

MoSBOTs: Magnetically Driven Biotemplated MoS2-Based Microrobots for Biomedical Applications

Summary: 2D layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanomaterials show high biocompatibility, mechanical and electrical properties, and flexible functionalization for biomedical applications. However, poor stability of aqueous dispersions and low accumulation in affected tissues limit their potential. In this study, multifunctional MoS2-based magnetic helical microrobots (MoSBOTs) using cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis are proposed for therapeutic and biorecognition applications. These cytocompatible microrobots combine remote magnetic navigation with MoS2 photothermal activity, enabling targeted photothermal ablation and on-the-fly biorecognition in minimally invasive cancer treatment.

Transition metal dichalcogenide micromotors with programmable photophoretic swarming motion

Victor de la Asuncion-Nadal, Daniel Rojas, Beatriz Jurado-Sanchez, Alberto Escarpa

Summary: In this study, we describe the light-triggered photophoretic motion of WS2 micromotors. These micromotors were prepared using liquid-phase exfoliation of pristine WS2 in water, resulting in a layered material with high photoconversion capability. Under electromagnetic irradiation, the micromotors exhibit positive photophoretic motion and swarming-like behavior. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were used to characterize the photophoretic propulsion mechanism of the micromotors. These novel micromotors can perform collective motion without the need for surfactants or fuels, reaching velocities of up to 6000 μm/s, making them the fastest light-driven micromotor platform to date with potential for cutting-edge applications.

Juan F. F. Hernandez-Rodriguez, Miguel Angel Lopez, Daniel Rojas, Alberto Escarpa

Summary: Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technology aims to replicate human body pathophysiology for drug development and disease understanding. However, its presence in biological laboratories is limited, and current analytical methods lack real-time control of cell microenvironment. To address this issue, the integration of real-time biosensors, specifically electrochemical sensors, is highly requested. These sensors offer advantages in miniaturization, ease of use, automation, sensitivity, and selectivity. The accessibility to microfabrication technologies, particularly digital manufacturing, may contribute to the dissemination and integration of real-time sensing in OoC devices.
