Article Abstract
Aflatoxin B (AFB) is a highly toxic substance found in food, necessitating rapid and sensitive detection methods. Combining interfacial capacitive sensing with AC electrothermal (ACET) enrichment, an aptasensor based on a PCB electrode array is developed for real-time detection of trace AFB. Owing to the sensitive solid-liquid capacitance with a pF-level resolution, AFB detection at sub-femtomolar level is achieved. The induced ACET flows enrich AFB molecules towards the electrode surface during capacitance measurement, enabling a one-step detection containing target enrichment, with an overall time of 20 s without any extra concentrating devices or processes. This sensor has a low detection limit of 620 aM, a selectivity of 2262:1 against interferences, and a wide semi-log linear range from 1 fM to 10 pM. It is with a cost below 1 US dollar for disposable detection and a convenient operation for on-site application. The detection of AFB in three types of quality control samples demonstrates a good feasibility for food safety inspection.

Hibernation is an elaborate response strategy employed by numerous mammals to survive in cold conditions that involves active suppression of metabolism. Despite the role of mitochondria as energy metabolism centers during hibernation, the adaptive and evolutionary mechanisms of mitochondrial genes in hibernating animals, like hedgehogs in eulipotyphlan species, are not yet fully understood. In this study, we sequenced and assembled mitochondrial genomes of the hibernating four-toed hedgehog () and the non-hibernating Asian house shrew ().

The microtubule motor dynein-2 is responsible for retrograde intraflagellar transport (IFT), a process critical for cilia assembly and cilium-dependent signaling. Mutations in genes encoding dynein-2 subunits interfere with ciliogenesis and are among the most frequent causes of skeletal ciliopathies. Despite its importance, little is known regarding dynein-2 assembly and regulation.

This study introduces a new, highly sensitive, and reliable method for detecting and measuring orthophosphate in environmental water samples. This method combines cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-mediated coacervation extraction with digital image-based colorimetry, providing a robust and efficient approach for orthophosphate analysis. In this system, CTAB, a cationic surfactant, serves a dual role as both an ion-pairing agent and an extraction medium.

A flexible bipolarization conversion metasurface based on graphene is proposed in this paper, which can achieve single-band linear-to-linear (LTL) and dual-band linear-to-circular (LTC) polarization conversion. The polarization conversion ratio (PCR) and axial ratio (AR) are dynamically regulated by varying the sheet resistance () of graphene. When = 1400 Ω Sq, the designed metasurface achieves a single-band LTL polarization conversion of 7.

Background: Fetal tachycardias can cause adverse fetal outcomes including ventricular dysfunction, hydrops, and fetal demise. Postnatally, ECG is the gold standard, but, in fetal practice, echocardiography is used most frequently to diagnose and monitor fetal arrhythmias. Noninvasive extraction of the fetal ECG (fECG) may provide additional information about the electrophysiological mechanism and monitoring of intermittent arrhythmias.
