Heterostructures have emerged as promising contenders for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. Nevertheless, the construction of a composite SERS substrate with well-matched energy levels persists as a challenge, primarily due to the restricted selection of SERS-active materials. In this study, we successfully synthesized a Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/ZnO nanorods (NRs)/GaN heterojunction featuring type II staggered energy bands, which provides an outstanding platform for efficient SERS detection.

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular senescence. Cellular senescence is a state of persistent cell cycle arrest triggered by stressors such as DNA damage and telomere attrition. Senescent endothelial cells (ECs) can impair vascular function and promote inflammation, thereby contributing to CVD progression.

Effective reduction of oceanic plastic pollution requires scalable and objective monitoring methods that go beyond traditional human-based surveys. This review synthesizes recent advances in remote sensing and AI-driven image analysis for detecting macro-plastic litter. Peer-reviewed studies published up to 2024 were systematically selected from the Scopus database, focusing on applications of remote sensing platforms including webcams, drones, balloons, aircraft, and satellites for monitoring plastic litter in coastal, riverine, and other aquatic environments.

Microplastics (MPs)-derived dissolved organic matter (MPs-DOM) is emerging as a significant contributor to environmental DOM pools. However, the molecular-scale processes governing its interactions with mineral and their effects on photoreactivity remain poorly understood. This study elucidates the structure-dependent molecular transformations and photochemical reactivity of DOM during its interaction with goethite, revealing distinct mechanisms driving reactive oxygen species (ROS) dynamics.
