Cascaded amplifying circuits enable ultrasensitive cellular sensors for toxic metals

Sebastian Maerkl, Francesca Volpetti, Ekaterina Emilova Petrova

Cell-based biosensors have great potential to detect various toxic and pathogenic contaminants in aqueous environments. However, frequently they cannot meet practical requirements due to insufficient sensing performance. To address this issue, we investiga ...

Ozonation of municipal wastewater effluent containing metal sulfides and metal complexes: Kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation can be applied to mitigate the discharge of organic micropollutants from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to the aquatic environment. The toxicity of metals also present in WWTP effluents strongly depends on their speciation. Therefo ...

Sr2Pt8−x As: a layered incommensurately modulated metal with saturated resistivity

László Forró, Oleg Yazyev, Alla Arakcheeva, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Gabriel Albert Autes, Andrea Pisoni, Sergiy Katrych, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Edoardo Martino

The high-pressure synthesis and incommensurately modulated structure are reported for the new compound Sr2Pt8-xAs, with x = 0.715 (5). The structure consists of Sr2Pt3 As layers alternating with Pt-only corrugated grids. Ab initio calculations predict a me ...

Chelating agents as coating molecules for iron oxide nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

Due to their high chemical affinity towards metal ions, chelating agents (CAs) have been used for decades for water purification, but also for protection against metal intoxication and in nanomedicine as linking molecules at the surface of nanoparticles. H ...

Highly Acidic Ambient Particles, Soluble Metals, and Oxidative Potential: A Link between Sulfate and Aerosol Toxicity

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Soluble transition metals in particulate matter (PM) can generate reactive oxygen species in vivo by redox cycling, leading to oxidative stress and adverse health effects. Most metals, such as those from roadway traffic, are emitted in an insoluble form, b ...

Spatial distribution and biological effects of trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) and organic micropollutants (PCBs, PAHs) in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis along the Algerian west coast

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

Native mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis are used as bioindicator organisms to assess the concentration levels and toxic effects of persistent chemicals, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals using biomarker ...

Triode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Operation Under Sulfur-Poisoning Conditions

Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Priscilla Caliandro

The triode solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a three electrodes configuration. The third electrode, so-called auxiliary, is connected in a way to run in electrolysis mode, while cathode and anode operate in normal fuel cell mode. This mixed operation allows ...
