Background: Current available detection methods can not afford the direct and precise detection of trace arsenite (As(III)) in high-salinity water bodies. Therefore, the development of device with low limit of detection (LOD) for the early detection of As(III) in high-salinity water samples is of vital importance to secure environment and food safety.
Results: Herein, we report a rapid and visualized device for trace As(III) determination in practical water samples by DNA aptasensor based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) method. Specifically, we firstly prepare polymer dots by nanoprecipitation method, followed by surface modification of specific DNA aptamer of As(III). The Pdots can be applied on electrodes to give detection device for trace As(III) detection with a low LOD at 0.24 ng/L with robust selectivity. More importantly, the device can be used for the effective visualized determination of As(III) in practical high-salinity water samples.
Significance: This device can be applied to detect visualized detection of trace arsenite in high-salinity water samples, which holds a pivotal role in the realms of environment and food safety research.

Global water scarcity demands next-generation desalination technologies that transcend the limitations of energy-intensive processes and salt accumulation. Herein, a groundbreaking interfacial solar steam generation system capable of simultaneous hypersaline desalination and ambient energy harvesting is introduced. Through hierarchical hydrogel architecture incorporating a central vertical channel and radial channels with gradient apertures, the design effectively decouples salt transport and water evaporation: solar-driven fluid convection directs water outward for evaporation, while inward salt migration prevents surface crystallization and redistributes excess heat.

Barium (Ba), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), and elevated salinity represent signature contaminations derived from shale gas extraction activities. Investigating the interactive effects of DMP and salinity on the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of Ba within soil-crop systems is essential for precise human health risk assessments and the development of effective remediation strategies. This study comprehensively evaluated the bioavailability, bioaccessibility, and phytotoxicity of Ba.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose severe threats to coastal ecosystems. Fiddler crabs, key intertidal species in mangrove environments, are particularly vulnerable to MHWs in disturbed habitats, where vegetation degradation amplifies environmental stressors such as temperature and salinity. We conducted a biomarker-based assessment of the behavioral, physiological, and biochemical responses of fiddler crab species to MHWs in undisturbed and disturbed mangrove ecosystems.

Lost circulation, a prevalent challenge in drilling engineering, poses significant risks including drilling fluid loss, wellbore instability, and environmental contamination. Conventional plugging materials often exhibit an inadequate performance under high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP), and complex formation conditions. To address that, this study developed a high-performance gel-resin composite plugging material resistant to HTHP environments.

Copper pollution in hypersaline environments poses a significant challenge due to the inefficiency of conventional bioremediation strategies under high salinity and metal stress. Halophilic archaea represent a promising solution for heavy metal removal in saline environments due to their biocompatibility and cost-effectiveness. Here, we investigated the copper removal potential of a Halalkalicoccus sp.
