Analytical Frameworks and Theories of Electric Power in Non‐Linear Circuits

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Based on the challenges of distorted currents and non‐linear components in modern power grids, this article reviews seminal electrical power theories that seek to generalize the traditional definitions of active, reactive, and apparent power. It provides a detailed analysis of their mathematical foundations, practical implementation, and validity.

Aptamer and DNAzyme Based Colorimetric Biosensors for Pathogen Detection

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 4, January 21, 2025.
Pathogen detection is crucial for preventing and managing health risks. This review consolidates the selection of functional nucleic acids (FNAs) for pathogen detection and the development of cost‐effective, simple diagnostic applications. It focuses on integrating FNAs with gold nanoparticles, polydiacetylenes, protein enzymes, G‐quadruplexes, and ...
