Tuning catalytic activity and sensitivity in urease‐based thin film biosensors using conjugated polymers and eugenol/biseugenol

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Hybrid thin films of conjugated polymers and urease modified with eugenol derivatives show that polymer–biomolecule interactions enhance catalytic activity while distinctly modulating electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor sensor sensitivity. Abstract Thin films have emerged as promising platforms for biosensor development due to their versatility and ...

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...
