Sample preparation is the most time-consuming and laborious procedure during analysis. The rapid and effective extraction of solid and semi-solid samples is much more difficult than that of gas and liquid samples. In the present review, various extraction methods for solid and semi-solid samples such as supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, etc. are summarized based on the principles of field and field synergy effects. The expected trends of field-assisted extraction methods are discussed and proposed to encourage further development on the rapid and effective extraction for solid and semi-solid samples.

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) continue to be the subject of much detailed and systematic study, being suitable for a diverse range of applications including bioelectronics, sensors, and neuromorphic computing. OECTs conventionally use a liquid electrolyte, and this architecture is well suited for sensing or bio-interfacing applications where biofluids or liquid samples can be used directly as the electrolyte. A more recent trend is solid-state OECTs, where a solid or semi-solid electrolyte such as an ion gel, hydrogel or polyelectrolyte replaces the liquid component for an all-solid-state device.

Dexamethasone (Dexa) is widely used for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In pediatric patients, individual dosing often requires the manipulation of commercial tablets, leading to dose inaccuracies, higher treatment complexity and poor acceptance due to Dexa's intensely bitter taste. This study aimed to develop 3D-printed chewable Dexa tablets with effective taste masking for pediatric oncology.

Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted significant attention recently as sulfur is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, low-cost, has a non-toxic nature, multi-electron transfer property coupled with its remarkable theoretical specific capacity of 1672 mAh g and energy density of 2600 Wh kg. However, lithium-deficient sulfur cathodes associated with lithium metal anodes together to face challenges, such as significant volume expansion during cycling, dendrite formation, and polysulfide shuttling effect from the sulfur cathodes, leading to corrosion, all of which negatively impact the cycle lifespan of the battery. On the other hand, moving away from liquid to solid-state garnet-based solid electrolytes is highly aided for lithium-sulfur batteries because of their high ionic conductivity of 10 S cm stability with lithium metal, lithium-based alloys and moreover in mitigating the polysulfide issues.

Herein, we introduce a LEGO®-inspired molecular diagnostic microdevice fully integrated with DNA extraction, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and colorimetric detection functionalities for rapid detection of antibacterial resistance in a pipette-free manner. The microdevice system is composed of a ready-to-use microdevice containing all necessary reagents and stamps that offer sample-to-answer diagnosis in a pipette-free manner. In particular, antimicrobial resistance was analyzed through LAMP at a significantly reduced temperature of approximately 40 °C, combined with DNA extraction and detection, which were performed at room temperature (RT).

This study explores the antioxidant potential and delivery performance of five structurally distinct cannabinoids, with a particular focus on cannabinol (CBN). Comprehensive structural characterization using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed key molecular features relevant to antioxidant function. Among the tested compounds, CBN exhibited the most potent and balanced radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and superoxide radicals.
