Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging is a powerful technology with unprecedent potential for ultrasensitive chemical analysis. Point-by-point scanning and often excessively long spectral acquisition-times hamper the broad exploitation of the full analytical potential of SERS. Here, we introduce large-scale SERS particle screening (LSSPS), a multiplexed widefield screening approach to particle characterization, which is 500-1000 times faster than typical confocal Raman implementations. Beyond its higher throughput, LSSPS simultaneously quantifies both the sample's Raman and Rayleigh scattering to directly quantify the fraction of SERS-active particles which allows for an unprecedented correlation of SERS activity with particle size. .

Self-healable and anti-freezing ion conducting hydrogel-based artificial bioelectronic tongue sensing toward astringent and bitter tastes. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 198:113811. [PMID: 34823963 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Numerous efforts have been attempted to mimic human tongue since years. However, they still have limitations because of damages, temperature effects, detection ranges etc. Herein, a self-healable hydrogel-based artificial bioelectronic tongue (E-tongue) containing mucin as a secreted protein, sodium chloride as an ion transporting electrolyte, and chitosan/poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) as the main 3D structure holding hydrogel network is synthesized. This E-tongue is introduced to mimic astringent and bitter mouth feel based on cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements subjected to target substances, which permits astringent tannic acid (TA) and bitter quinine sulfate (QS) to be detected over wide corresponding ranges of 29.3 mM-0.59 μM and 63.8 mM-6.38 μM with remarkable respective sensitivities of 0.2 and 0.12 wt%-1. Besides, the taste selectivity of this E-tongue is performed in the presence of various mixed-taste chemicals to show its high selective behavior toward bitter and astringent chemicals. The electrical self-healability is shown via CV responses to illustrate electrical recovery within a short time span. In addition, cytotoxicity tests using HeLa cells are performed, where a clear viability of ≥95% verified its biocompatibility. The anti-freezing sensing of E-tongue tastes at -5 °C also makes this work to be useful at sub-zero environments. Real time degrees of tastes are detected using beverages and fruits to confirm future potential applications in food taste detections and humanoid robots.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectroscopy has been establishing itself as an ultrasensitive analytical technique with a cross-disciplinary range of applications, which scientific growth is triggered by the continuous improvement in the design of advanced plasmonic materials with enhanced multifunctional abilities and tailorable surface chemistry. In this regard, conventional synthetic procedures yield negatively-charged plasmonic materials which can hamper the adhesion of negatively-charged species. To tackle this issue, metallic surfaces have been modified via diverse procedures with a broad array of surface ligands to impart positive charges. Cationic amines have been preferred because of their ability to retain a positive zeta potential even at alkaline pH as well as due to their wide accessibility in terms of structural features and cost. In this review, we will describe and discuss the different approaches for generating positively-charged plasmonic platforms and their applications in SERS sensing. Integration of ligands equipped with quaternary amines on plasmonic surfaces generates positively-charged nanomaterials suitable for electrostatically binding negatively-charged species paving the way for their application in SERS sensing.![]()

Abstract
Here, we present single crystalline capsules of a photoresponsive molecule produced by simple recrystallization from organic solutions without direct human processing. During the crystal growth process, a movie was taken of the capsule taking in the organic solution. The capsules responded rapidly (<1 s) to the UV light stimuli and released the captured solution or solute. In principle, they can take in any substance dissolved in organic solvents, and their size can be controlled. Moreover, the capsule can be broken by multi-photon excitation using a near-infrared laser within the biological window. Furthermore, because the molecular packing in the crystal is unidirectional, the response can be controlled by the polarization of the light. This study shows the new potential of photoresponsive molecules.

Abstract
Dip-pen nanolithography is an emerging and attractive surface modification technique that has the capacity to directly and controllably write micro/nano-array patterns on diverse substrates. The superior throughput, resolution, and registration enable DPN an outstanding candidate for biological detection from the molecular level to the cellular level. Herein, we overview the technological evolution of DPN in terms of its advanced derivatives and DPN-enabled versatile sensing patterns featuring multiple compositions and structures for biosensing. Benefitting from uniform, reproducible, and large-area array patterns, DPN-based biosensors have shown high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and fast response in target analyte detection and specific cellular recognition. We anticipate that DPN-based technologies could offer great potential opportunities to fabricate multiplexed, programmable, and commercial array-based sensing biochips.

Abstract
The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in biomedicine has made a gradual transition from proof-of-concept to clinical applications, with several NP types meeting regulatory approval or undergoing clinical trials. A new type of metallic nanostructures called ultrasmall nanoparticles (usNPs) and nanoclusters (NCs), while retaining essential properties of the larger (classical) NPs, have features common to bioactive proteins. This combination expands the potential use of usNPs and NCs to areas of diagnosis and therapy traditionally reserved for small-molecule medicine. Their distinctive physicochemical properties can lead to unique in vivo behaviors, including improved renal clearance and tumor distribution. Both the beneficial and potentially deleterious outcomes (cytotoxicity, inflammation) can, in principle, be controlled through a judicious choice of the nanocore shape and size, as well as the chemical ligands attached to the surface. At present, the ability to control the behavior of usNPs is limited, partly because advances are still needed in nanoengineering and chemical synthesis to manufacture and characterize ultrasmall nanostructures and partly because our understanding of their interactions in biological environments is incomplete. This review addresses the second limitation. We review experimental and computational methods currently available to understand molecular mechanisms, with particular attention to usNP-protein complexation, and highlight areas where further progress is needed. We discuss approaches that we find most promising to provide relevant molecular-level insight for designing usNPs with specific behaviors and pave the way to translational applications.

Abstract
A cross-responsive strategy (CRS) based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through attaching various recognition receptors on the surface of AuNPs for identifying multiple analytes is presented, and the detection throughput and overall identification accuracy are improved. However, the CRS's recognition receptor cannot get comprehensive information from the target analytes limited in number and type, which determines the overall identification accuracy. Therefore, the practicability of the CRS runs into a bottleneck. Herein, we report a programmable DNA-AuNP encoder combined with a multimodal coupled analysis algorithm for high-throughput detection and accurate analysis of multiple metal ions. The programmable DNA-AuNP encoder breaks through the limitation of the recognition receptor's quantity. Furthermore, the multimodal signals from target metal ion-induced DNA-AuNP aggregation are related to and observed in the ultraviolet absorbance spectrum, surface potential, and particle diameter. The multimodal coupled analysis algorithm can reflect comprehensive information on the target analyte more completely. Finally, this study provides a highly generic tool for the cross-responsive strategy.

Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) are ideal scaffolds for the fabrication of sensing devices because of their high surface-to-volume ratio combined with their unique optical and electrical properties which are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. Such characteristics guarantee high sensitivity in sensing processes. Metal NPs can be decorated with ad hoc molecular building blocks which can act as receptors of specific analytes. By pursuing this strategy, and by taking full advantage of the specificity of supramolecular recognition events, highly selective sensing devices can be fabricated. Besides, noble metal NPs can also be a pivotal element for the fabrication of chemical nose/tongue sensors to target complex mixtures of analytes. This review highlights the most enlightening strategies developed during the last decade, towards the fabrication of chemical sensors with either optical or electrical readout combining high sensitivity and selectivity, along with fast response and full reversibility, with special attention to approaches that enable efficient environmental and health monitoring.

Abstract
Plasmonic reversible gas sensors are of paramount importance for the monitoring of indoor environments. Herein, we design and engineer a plasmonic foam, with a high surface area, confined inside a capillary glass tube for the live monitoring of carbon monoxide (CO) in closed environments using surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering. The illumination of the sensor with light during the flow of air allows the live monitoring of the concentration of atmospheric CO through surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering. The sensor was prepared with a detection range from 10 to 40 ppm, due to health needs. The results show a sensitive, selective, reversible and robust sensor applicable to the monitoring of CO levels but also to other gas species upon appropriate functionalization.

Abstract
Artificial sensory substitution systems can mimic human sensory organs through replacing the sensing process of a defective sensory receptor and transmitting the sensing signal into the nervous system. Here, we report a self-powered flexible gustation sour sensor for detecting ascorbic acid concentration. The material system comprises of Na2C2O4-Ppy with AAO modification, PDMS and Cu wire mesh. The working mechanism is contributed to the triboelectrification/enzymatic-reaction coupling effect, and the device can collect weak energy from body movements and directly output triboelectric current without any external power-units. The triboelectric output is affected by AA concentration, and the response is up to 34.82% against 15.625 mM/L of AA solution. Furthermore, a practical application in detecting ascorbic acid concentration of different drinks has been demonstrated. This work can encourage the development of wearable flexible electronics and this self-powered sour sensor has the potential that can be acted as a kind of gustatory receptors to build electronic tongues.

Abstract
To capture a broader scope of complex biological phenomena, alternatives to conventional sensing based on specificity for cell detection and characterization are needed. Pattern-recognition-based sensing is an analytical method designed to mimic mammalian sensory systems for analyte identification based on the pattern recognition of multivariate data, which are generated using an array of multiple probes that cross-reactively interact with analytes. This sensing approach is significantly different from conventional specific cell sensing based on highly specific probes, including antibodies against biomarkers. Encouraged by the advantages of this technique, such as the simplicity, rapidity, and tunability of the systems without requiring a priori knowledge of biomarkers, numerous sensor arrays have been developed over the past decade and used in a variety of cell sensing applications; these include disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and fundamental research. This review summarizes recent progress in pattern-recognition-based cell sensing, with a particular focus on guidelines for designing materials and arrays, techniques for analyzing response patterns, and applications of sensor systems that are focused primarily for the biomedical field.

Abstract
Smoking can cause cigarette-related diseases and pose serious threat to human health. Its dangers can be effectively controlled by discriminating cigarettes and monitoring cigarette quality. Herein, a kind of artificial tongue technique based on the indicator displacement assay (IDA) was developed and applied to determine and discriminate cigarettes and their main ingredients (saccharides, organic acids and nicotine). This method was constructed using carbon nanodots (CDs) as a fluorescent indicator and various concentrations of silver ion (Ag+) as a fluorescent regulator. A cigarette extracting solution was prepared to interact with an artificial tongue and produce fluorescence fingerprints. Twenty-nine kinds of cigarettes can be well discriminated in terms of category (flue-cured cigarette, blended cigarette and cigar), brand, origin (domestic or foreign cigarettes) after processing and visualizing the response fingerprints. The artificial tongue fluorescent sensor array can sensitively detect nine kinds of tobacco-based chemical ingredients and discriminate them between different concentrations. The as-prepared fluorescent artificial tongue is a promising platform for monitoring cigarette quality and controlling the harmful effects of smoking because of its cheap material requirements, simple operation, and good performance.

Abstract
Metallic nanostructures are ideal candidates for optical tongue devices thanks to their chemical stability, the sensitivity of their plasmonic resonance to environmental changes, and their ease of chemical-functionalization. Here, we describe a reusable optical tongue comprising multiplexed gold and aluminum nano-arrays: a bimetallic device which produces two distinct resonance peaks for each sensing region. Through specific modification of these plasmonic arrays with orthogonal surface chemistries, we demonstrate that a dual-resonance device allows us to halve sensor sizes and data-acquisition times when compared to single-resonance, monometallic devices. We applied our bimetallic tongue to differentiate off-the-shelf whiskies with >99.7% accuracy by means of linear discriminant analysis (LDA). This advance in device miniaturization, functionalization, and multiplexed readout indicates nanoplasmonic tongues will have future applications in chemical mixture identification in applications where portability, reusability, and measurement speed are key.

Abstract
Array-based sensor "chemical nose/tongue" platforms are inspired by the mammalian olfactory system. Multiple sensor elements in these devices selectively interact with target analytes, producing a distinct pattern of response and enabling analyte identification. This approach offers unique opportunities relative to "traditional" highly specific sensor elements such as antibodies. Array-based sensors excel at distinguishing small changes in complex mixtures, and this capability is being leveraged for chemical biology studies and clinical pathology, enabled by a diverse toolkit of new molecular, bioconjugate and nanomaterial technologies. Innovation in the design and analysis of arrays provides a robust set of tools for advancing biomedical goals, including precision medicine.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-enabled sensors are being designed for high-efficiency, multiplex-functionality and high-flexibility sensing applications. Many existing nanosensors have the inherent capacity to achieve such goals; however, they require further development into consumer- and operator-friendly tools with the ability to detect analytes in previously inaccessible locations, as well as at a greater scale than heretofore possible. Here, I discuss how nanotechnology-enabled sensors have great, as yet unmet, promise to provide widespread and potentially low-cost monitoring of chemicals, microbes and other analytes in drinking water.

Abstract
Liver disease is the fifth most common cause of premature death in the Western world, with the irreversible damage caused by fibrosis, and ultimately cirrhosis, a primary driver of mortality. Early detection of fibrosis would facilitate treatment of the underlying liver disease to limit progression. Unfortunately, most cases of liver disease are diagnosed late, with current strategies reliant on invasive biopsy or fragile lab-based antibody technologies. A robust, fully synthetic fluorescent-polymer sensor array is reported, which, rapidly (in 45 minutes), detects liver fibrosis from low-volume serum samples with clinically relevant specificity and accuracy, using an easily readable diagnostic output. The simplicity, rapidity, and robustness of this method make it a promising platform for point-of-care diagnostics for detecting and monitoring liver disease.
