Article Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the instant inactivation effect of dielectric filter discharge (DFD) on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) aerosols. The filter consisted of one layer of ZrO2 beads covered by aluminum mesh electrodes; this porous structure of DFD part generates filter-type surface discharge and reactive oxygen species. In a closed cylindrical chamber, DFD treated air flow containing SARS-CoV-2 aerosols, primarily composed of particle diameters of ≤ 1 μm. A polypropylene melt-blown filter collected the treated bioaerosols for inactivation analysis. Plaque and polymerase chain reaction assays showed that the aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 that passed through the filter were more than 99.84% inactivated with degradation of SARS-CoV-2 genes (ORF1ab and E). However, ozone exposure without DFD passage was not found to be effective for bioaerosol inactivation in plaque assay.

Patterned micro/nanostructure arrays have shown the potential to effectively regulate cellular behavior, and their unique microstructure may address the limitations of conventional pore materials, leading to novel phenomena. In this work, a large-area gold micro/nano-array substrate with an average hole of ≈32 nm is designed and extensively screened. Precisely engineered nanopores on the substrate can effectively improve photothermal conversion efficiency, and instant heat dissipation in the absence of laser irradiation.

Integrating preparation and utilization of nanozymes in a "one-pot" approach offers advantages over conventional discrete synthesis and application methods by eliminating laborious syntheses, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing chemical waste. Herein, we revealed the instant oxidase- and peroxidase-mimic (OD-/POD-mimic) activities of in-situ formed Cu(I)-polytrithiocyanuric acid (i:Cu(I)-pTTCA) polymers. The polymers were assembled through reductive coordination between Cu and trithiocyanuric acid and immediately exhibited intrinsic OD- or POD-mimic activities.

Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a serious illness in Eurasia with no specific treatments currently available, highlighting the need for safe and effective vaccines.
- Researchers developed three types of nucleic acid vaccine candidates (mRNA, naked DNA, and DNA in lipid nanoparticles) targeting the Hantaan virus to assess their potential against HFRS.
- All vaccine candidates successfully triggered strong immune responses similar to an existing inactivated vaccine, with the mRNA vaccine showing a robust T-helper 1 cell response and the DNA-LNP producing higher neutralizing antibodies, suggesting that combining these vaccines could enhance their effectiveness.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the health benefits of certain bacteria and how their survival changes during the thermal processing of various foods.
- A predictive model was developed to estimate the survival rates of these bacteria at different temperatures (85-115°C) during processes like cooking coffee and making instant noodles.
- The model demonstrated high accuracy, with predictions closely matching actual measurements, and can help assess the stability of beneficial bacteria in food during thermal processing.

The risk of fungal pollution in drinking water has been paid attention. Solar/chlorine dioxide (ClO) combined system is an environment-friendly, economical and efficient disinfection method, especially for countries and regions that are economically backward and still exposed to unsafe drinking water. In this paper, the kinetics, influencing factors, mechanism and regrowth potential of inactivated Aspergillus niger (A.
