TL;DR: This review covers advances in electrochemical and biochemical sensor development and usage during 2010 and 2011 and focuses on novel methods and materials, with a particular focus on the increasing use of graphene sheets for sensor material development.

TL;DR: An unprecedented optical range for modulation of visible and near-infrared solar radiation with rapid switching kinetics that indicate the WO(3-x) nanocrystal framework effectively pumps charge out of the normally sluggish NbOx glass.

TL;DR: Tuning the Fermi energy of silicon through doping leads to alignment of silicon bands with the redox active sites of photosystem I, which results in the highest reported photocurrent enhancement for a biohybrid electrode based on Photosystem I.

TL;DR: A novel microwave-assisted synthetic method has been used to synthesise a series of mixed ligand ruthenium(II) compounds containing diimine as well as bidentate thiosemicarbazone ligands, which show good cytotoxic profiles against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 (breast adenocarcinoma) aswell as HCT 116 and HT-29 (colorectal carcinoma) cell lines.

TL;DR: The fabrication of a hybrid light-harvesting electrode consisting of photosystem I (PSI) proteins extracted from spinach and adsorbed as a monolayer onto electrically contacted, large-area graphene is reported, establishing the feasibility of conjoining these nanomaterials as potential constructs in next-generation photovoltaic devices.
