Molecularly Imprinted Polymers as an Indirect Sensing Approach for Bacillus cereus Detection

Abstract Bacterial endospores are a major challenge in food safety due to their high resistance and potential to cause spoilage and foodborne illness. Current detection methods can be labor-intensive and require specialized instrumentation. A low-cost, label-free thermal sensing...

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

ABSTRACT Molecular rotors (MRs) are a distinctive class of fluorescent molecules whose photophysical properties are influenced by their surrounding environment, making them valuable as viscosity nanosensors. However, interpreting their fluorescence responses in complex systems po...
