Portable Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Sensor for Rapid Swab‐Based Detection of Norovirus
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work reports a rapid, portable smartphone‐based sensor capable of detecting four norovirus genotypes from swab samples within 15 min. Sensor selectivity was validated through evaluation against four common live viruses. The swab‐based sampling process enabled simple sample preparation combined with the compact detection system, supporting use of ...

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...

Operation Limits of Integrated Photo‐Rechargeable Batteries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study elucidates the operational limitations of integrated photo‐rechargeable batteries. We demonstrate that the photo‐charging process is fundamentally restricted not only by material‐to‐material energy level alignment but also by transient capacitive charge accumulation within the cathode framework.
