Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
Tuning the Properties of Active Microtubule Networks by Depletion Forces
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-06)
Suspensions of microtubules and nonadsorbing particles form thick and long bundles due to depletion forces. Such interactions act at the nanometer scale and define the structural and dynamical properties of the resulting ...
Light-Powered Reactivation of Flagella and Contraction of Microtubule Networks: Toward Building an Artificial Cell
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-18)
Artificial systems capable of self-sustained movement with self-sufficient energy are of high interest with respect to the development of many challenging applications, including medical treatments, but also technical ...
Tunable Superparamagnetic Ring (tSPRing) for Droplet Manipulation
(Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
The manipulation of droplets by magnetic field forms the basis of a fascinating technology that is currently in development. Often, the movement of droplets with magnets involves adding magnetic particles in or around the ...

Selective ultrasensitive optical fiber nanosensors based on plasmon resonance energy transfer
(American Chemical Society, 2020-04-03)
The facet of optical fibers coated with nanostructures enable the development of ultraminiature and sensitive (bio)chemical sensors. The reported sensors until now lack of specificity and the fabrication methods offer poor ...
Large Volume Self-powered Disposable Microfluidics by the Integration of Modular Polymer Micropumps with Plastic Microfluidic Cartridges
(ACS, 2020-12-10)
Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyse samples of small volume of fluid, however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized microfluidic analytical device should be ...
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ...
Coastal gradients of small microplastics and associated pollutants influenced by estuarine sources
(Elsevier, 2022)
Small microplastics (SMPs) in the gulf of Cadiz was sampled at 5 m depth by pumping it through the ship's pipe system and filtered through a 45 mu m mesh size net. Our study reveals that higher densities have been found ...
