TL;DR: With excellent sensitivity and selectivity, the proposed RRS aptasensor was potentially suitable for not only routine detection of Hg(2+) in environmental monitoring but also various target detection just by changing the recognition sequence of the H-DNA probe.

TL;DR: ZIF-8(zinc-methylimidazolate framework-8) was put into a tea bag for selective removal of oils from water surface, and exhibits strong hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 142° as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: An interesting, simple, and label-free strategy for the detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose has been developed with polyethyleneimine-capped copper nanoclusters as a fluorescence probe in aqueous solution with good selectivity and the mechanism of fluorescence quenching which is caused by the interaction between H2O2 and Cu nanocluster was discussed.

TL;DR: A new photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform has been established based on the signal amplification of click chemistry via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) for highly sensitive microRNA (miRNA) assay, showing good quantitative detection capability.

TL;DR: A multidimensional optical sensing platform which combines the advantages of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS), fluorescence, and colorimetry has been designed for detection of heparin, and the potential application of this method in reversible on-off molecular logic gate fabrication was discussed.
