TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoporous-nanotube hybrid composite, which consists of a thin layer of tetragonal tin dioxide with a disordered porous was embedded on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), was prepared by a simple method that included in situ growth of mesophorous SnO2 on MWCNTs through hydrothermal method utilizing Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as structure-directing agents.

TL;DR: In this paper, an electromagnetic energy harvesting device using a sprung eccentric rotor has been designed, optimized and characterized to harvest power from pseudo-walking signals (a single frequency sinusoidal signal derived from motion of a driven pendulum that approximates the swing of a human-arm during walking).

TL;DR: In this paper, hollow carbonaceous composites (HCCs) possessing sphere and hemisphere shape, which had wide size distribution between several tens of nanometers and several micrometers, were prepared through a facile hydrothermal method using glucose as carbon source with the assistance of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

TL;DR: The simple method described here provides a novel and effective platform for immobilization of enzyme in realizing direct electrochemistry and has a promising application in fabrication of the third-generation electrochemical biosensors.

TL;DR: In this paper, layered titanate sheets (TNSs) were used as support matrixes for immobilizing myoglobin (Mb) to fabricate protein electrodes suitable for studying the direct electron transfer between the redox centers of proteins and the electrode and establish an example of a mediator-free (third-generation) biosensor.
