Highly Crystalline Oxidase-like MnOOH Nanowire-Incorporated Paper Dipstick for One-Step Colorimetric Detection of Dopamine

In situ detection of dopamine using nitrogen incorporated diamond nanowire electrode.

Significant difference was observed for the simultaneous detection of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA) mixture using nitrogen incorporated diamond nanowire (DNW) film electrodes grown by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. For the simultaneous sensing of ternary mixtures of DA, AA, and UA, well-separated voltammetric peaks are obtained using DNW film electr...

Fabrication of Highly Transparent Nanowire Transistors with One-Step-Processed Graphene Gate-Source-Drain Electrodes

One-step synthesis of dye-incorporated porous silica particles

Fluorescent nanoparticles have a variety of biomedical applications as diagnostics and traceable drug delivery agents. Highly fluorescent porous silica nanoparticles were synthesized in a water/oil phase by a microemulsion method. What is unique about the resulting porous silica nanoparticles is the combination of a single-step, efficient synthesis and the high stability of its fluorescence emi...

One Step Rapid Synthesis of Nano-Crystalline ZnO by Microwave-Assisted Solution Combustion Method

In this study nano-crystalline ZnO particles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solution combustion method. Zinc nitrate and urea were used as oxidizer and fuel, respectively. The effect of fuel to oxidizer (F/O) ratio on ZnO powder properties was investigated by using different urea/nitrate ratios. X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infra-red were used...

One-step, room temperature, colorimetric detection of mercury (Hg2+) using DNA/nanoparticle conjugates.

Because of the increasing threat of mercury exposure in the environment from global mercury emissions as well as various forms of contamination,1 there has been a growing interest in the development of highly sensitive and selective systems for mercuric ions (Hg2+) over the past few years. Various sensor systems for detection of Hg2+, based upon organic chromophores or fluorophores,2 conjugated...
