Scalable Photoactive NO2‐Sensing Framework for Plant Health Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A highly sensitive and selective NO2 gas sensor operates at room temperature using only ambient light, eliminating the need for external heating. Based on a scalable, 3D TiO2 nanoarchitecture, the device is integrated into a wireless platform and deployed on a plant. It successfully demonstrates real‐time monitoring of gas‐induced physiological stress,

Cross‐Platform Biosensing of Immune Receptors Using Peptide‐Functionalized Graphene
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A peptide‐functionalized graphene biosensor enables sensitive and selective detection of living immune cells. Targeting Formyl‐Peptide Receptor 2 (FPR2), the assay is demonstrated on model cells and primary human neutrophils. The same assay is applied to two complementary platforms: graphene‐enhanced surface plasmon resonance for optical benchmarking ...
