TL;DR: A simple but sensitive method for the colorimetric visualization of TNT at picomolar levels by using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), essentially based on the color change of Au NPs induced by the donor–acceptor (D–A) interaction between TNT and primary amines.

TL;DR: Graphdiyne (GDY), a novel kind of two-dimensional carbon allotrope consisting of sp- and sp(2)-hybridized carbon atoms, is found to be able to serve as the reducing agent and stabilizer for electroless deposition of highly dispersed Pd nanoparticles owing to its low reduction potential and highly conjugated electronic structure.

TL;DR: The turn-on fluorescence method demonstrated here can be used for in vivo sensing of AA in a simple but reliable way and possesses a higher sensitivity, lower limit of detection, and wider linear range.

TL;DR: This work reports the first example of using nanoscale ZIFs (i.e., ZIF-90), self-assembled from Zn2+ and imidazole-2-carboxyaldehyde, to target subcellular mitochondria and image dynamics of mitochondrial ATP in live cells and study the ATP level fluctuation in cellular glycolysis and apoptosis processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the first demonstration on the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was described. But, this kind of widely studied Cu(II)-based MOF was structurally unstable in aqueous media.
