ChemElectroChem, Volume 12, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.Two types of carbon quantum dots (CQD‐COOH and CQD‐NH2) are used to modify screen printed carbon electrodes, for detection of Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI). These modified sensors offer promising results for the determination of cTnI in the picomolar range, when, using an immunosensor protocol.

ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.An electrochemical interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ) aptasensor is developed with L‐cysteine‐indium telluriselenide quantum dot (QD) and 24 mer guanine‐thymine DNA aptamer. The aptasensor exhibits high sensitivity in buffer and human serum samples. From calibration analysis, the limit of detection of the aptasensor is 0.312 pg mL−1 IFN‐γ, which indicates good ...

Human flaws and logical tools in engineering
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the limitations of human cognition, especially in engineering research, emphasizing the need for mathematical models and methods to guide decision‐making and theory validation. While human cognition excels in certain tasks, it is prone to biases that can distort our understanding.
