Article Abstract
MXenes are renowned for their exceptional chemical and physical properties, making them highly promising for gas sensing applications. However, instability remains a significant limitation for these materials. Compared with mono-transition-metal (MTM) MXenes, double transition-metal (DTM) MXenes theoretically offer higher stability and functional diversity. In this study, we fabricated a gas sensor based on DTM MXenes (VNbCT), which demonstrated excellent gas sensing performance toward volatile organic compounds (VOCs). More importantly, the sensor exhibited remarkable stability, with its performance declining by only 7% after it was stored in an atmospheric environment for 90 days. Moreover, by integrating characterization techniques with density functional theory calculations, it was demonstrated that the pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) strategy could alter the types of surface functional groups on MXenes while simultaneously increasing the number of material defects and edges. These modifications lead to an enhanced response of the sensors toward VOCs.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

Purpose: Primary ventral hernia repair is a common elective procedure; however, mesh placement practices vary widely, and there is limited evidence to guide optimal placement. This international study examined surgeons' preferences and considerations regarding mesh placement in elective primary ventral hernia repair.
Methods: We conducted an international cross-sectional survey targeting surgeons experienced in primary ventral hernia repair.

The ability to detect small errors between sensory prediction in the brain and actual sensory feedback is important in rehabilitation after brain injury, where motor function needs to be restored. To date in the recent study, a delayed visual error detection task during upper limb movement was used to measure this ability for healthy participants or patients. However, this ability during walking, which is the most sought-after in brain-injured patients, was unclear.

Molecular piezoelectrics have garnered significant attention in energy harvesting and sensing fields due to their high intrinsic piezoelectricity, low elastic properties, and excellent solution processability. Recent efforts have primarily focused on rationally tuning the piezoelectric performance of these materials through the molecular predesign of organic components. However, the regulation of piezoelectric properties via the central metal ion has remained relatively underexplored.

Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is a critical biomarker implicated in inflammation, immune regulation, coagulation, and various pathological conditions such as liver fibrosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers. However, its precise quantification remains challenging due to complex conformational dynamics, subtle abundance fluctuations, and interference from plasma proteins. Here, we present a label-free dynamic single-molecule sensing (LFDSMS) strategy for the sensitive and specific detection of A2M.
