Autoencoder-Based Detection of Nanoplastics in Biological Matrices via Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging

Daniel Prezgot, Sadman Sakib, Maohui Chen, Adrian F. Pegoraro et autres

Abstract Mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging is an emerging tool for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and for the characterization of biological tissues and complex matrices. Detecting MNPs in biological materials is of particular interest for assessing toxicological and …

Incorporating Crown Ether Into Zirconium Metal‐Organic Framework for Highly Selective Lithium‐Ion Adsorption

Jian‐Feng Lu, Shan Zou, Zi-Yan Chen, Siqi Lu et autres

The rapid development of the lithium battery industry has significantly increased the demand for lithium resources. While abundant lithium exists in salt‐lake brines, its efficient extraction remains challenging, highlighting the need for highly selective adsorbents. Herein, a stable zirconium‐based metal‐organic framework (Zr‐MOF) …

Reversible Fe 3+ Coordination Drives Polydopamine Nanoparticle Assembly for High Iron Loading and Ferroptosis Selectivity

Sadman Sakib, Renjie Cui, Nesha May Andoy, Wanyan Liu et autres

Polydopamine (PDA) nanomaterials are widely studied as biodegradable carriers for metal ions, particularly Fe³⁺, due to the strong affinity of catechol groups for iron. However, generating very small PDA nanoparticles with a high iron-loading capacity remains difficult. Here, we show that polymerizing …

Dual Graphene Oxide–Based Multigene Delivery for Cancer Elimination via Stromal and Immune Reprogramming

Francesca Grilli, Sadman Sakib, Fabio Variola, Shan Zou

Cancer therapies are often limited by poor cellular specificity and tumor microenvironment‐mediated immunosuppression. We developed a dual‐function graphene oxide (GO)–based gene delivery platform combining direct cancer cell elimination with stromal and immune reprogramming. CD47‐targeting siRNA and ANT1‐encoding plasmid DNA selectively induced apoptosis …

Nanoplastic reference materials for biological and methodological assessment

Adrian F. Pegoraro, Maohui Chen, Sadman Sakib, Zygmunt J. Jakubek et autres

Abstract Plastic particles are pervasive across all environments, yet quantifying their total abundance remains challenging—especially for nanoplastics, which are problematic to separate and detect efficiently. This challenge is further exacerbated by the heterogeneous nature of environmental nanoplastics, making it difficult to determine …

Quantification of microplastics in complex environmental matrices using a tiered approach with modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC)

Yingshu Leng, Liliana Gaburici, Xudong Cao, Shan Zou

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in biosolids raises significant concerns, primarily because biosolids are commonly used as fertilizers in soil, where MPs can accumulate, disrupt soil health and microbial activity, and potentially enter the food chain. Accurate quantification of MPs in …

Global soil moisture dynamics since 1980: datasets biases, trends, and science-informed selection

Ziyang Zhu, Meiqing Feng, Wim Cornelis, Diego G. Miralles et autres

Soil moisture is critical for climate prediction, ecological management, and disaster warning. However, multi-source datasets show spatiotemporal inconsistencies and uncertain regional applicability due to algorithmic and observational limitations. We assess the statistical performance and spatiotemporal variations of 23 global surface soil moisture …
