Carbon dioxide (CO) is considered one of the main greenhouse effect gases and contributes significantly to global climate change. In Brazil, the agricultural areas offer an opportunity to mitigate this effect, especially with the sugarcane crop, sinc...
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...
The development of robotic sensors that mimic the human sensing capabilities is critical for the interaction and cognitive abilities of modern robots. Though robotic skin with embedded pressure or temperature sensors has received recent attention, ro...

In vitro, pancreatic β-cells tend to reduce their ability to aggregate into islets and lose insulin-producing ability, likely due to insufficient cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions that are essential for β-cell retention, viability and functional...
A microwave-assisted digestion procedure using diluted HNO and HO was developed for multi-element determination in guarana samples by ICP OES. Optimization step was performed employing a mixture design with pseudocomponents using HNO, HO and HO. The ...
Herein, a novel electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ERET) strategy between in situ electrogenerated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) as the donor and Ru(bpy)(5-NH-1,10-phen)Cl (Ru(II)) as the acceptor was reported, which was applied for th...

The aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αS), natively unstructured presynaptic protein, is a crucial factor leading to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other related disorders. Recent studies have shown prefibrillar and oligomeric interme...
The authors describe a fluorometric aptamer based assay for detecting β-lactoglobulin by using carbon dots (C-dots) as a signal indicator. The aptamer was immoblized on magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles (MNPs), and the C-dots served as a label for the co...
