Article Abstract
A method is presented for high-precision chemical detection that integrates quantum sensing with droplet microfluidics. Using nanodiamonds (ND) with fluorescent nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers as quantum sensors, rapidly flowing microdroplets containing analyte molecules are analyzed. A noise-suppressed mode of optically detected magnetic resonance is enabled by pairing controllable flow with microwave control of NV electronic spins, to detect analyte-induced signals of a few hundredths of a percent of the ND fluorescence. Using this method, paramagnetic ions in droplets are detected with low limit-of-detection using small analyte volumes, with exceptional measurement stability over >10 s. In addition, these droplets are used as microconfinement chambers by co-encapsulating ND quantum sensors with various analytes such as single cells, suggesting wide-ranging applications including single-cell metabolomics and real-time intracellular measurements from bioreactors. Important advances are enabled by this work, including portable chemical testing devices, amplification-free chemical assays, and chemical imaging tools for probing reactions within microenvironments.

This study integrates machine learning (ML) and density functional theory (DFT) to systematically investigate the oxygen electrocatalytic activity of two-dimensional (2D) TM(HXBHYB) (HX/YB = HIB (hexaaminobenzene), HHB (hexahydroxybenzene), HTB (hexathiolbenzene), and HSB (hexaselenolbenzene)) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). By coupling transition metals (TM) with the above ligands, stable 2D TM(HXBHYB)@MOF systems were constructed. The Random Forest Regression (RFR) model outperformed the others, revealing the intrinsic relationship between the physicochemical properties of 2D TM(HXBHYB)@MOF and their ORR/OER overpotentials.

A highly sensitive, selective, and simple method for detecting uranyl ions (UO) is crucial for human health and environmental safety. Amidoxime-based nanomaterials have been widely employed for UO detection, but their higher affinity for vanadium than UO limits their practical applications. Herein, a novel covalent organic polymer fluorescent probe (TT-COP) for UO detection was innovatively developed by a one-step Schiff-base condensation reaction between 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp).

Rapid and accurate quantification of mineral elements in plants facilitates the optimization of cultivation strategies and provides theoretical support for heavy metal pollution control. Compared to traditional chemical detection methods, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers rapid, simultaneous multi-element analysis. However, the quantitative accuracy of LIBS is often hindered by challenges such as sample heterogeneity and the inherent matrix effects arising from the physical and chemical properties of samples.

The high-precision discrimination of cancer cell types is crucial for the fundamental understanding of their progressions and accurate clinical prognosis. Resolving microRNAs (miRNAs) and related biomolecules has emerged as a powerful approach to elucidate cell types. However, the cell discrimination via miRNA profiling needs to address two critical challenges: (i) the shared sequence homology and localization of miRNA to precursor microRNA (pre-miRNA) may lead to false-positive signals.
