Development of portable point of care testing (POCT) system for fluorescence analysis
Many techniques are being developed to facilitate the diagnosis of an individual's illness using a portable point of care testing machine. A system has been developed to operate a single photon-capable SiPM (Silicon Photomultiplier) by amplifying low-intensity light by 1 million times through internal amplification. Using this technology it will be possible to easily diagnose diseases and illnesses such as diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, and infection from urine samples at an early stage....read more

Well-Defined Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts Lead to Selective Photoconversion of Carbon Dioxide into Fuels
Well-defined colloidal zinc oxide-copper(I) oxide hybrid nanocatalysts behaved as photocatalysts for the direct conversion of carbon dioxide to methane in an aqueous medium under ambient pressure and room temperature. The activity was 1080 mmolgcat-1h-1 with a quantum yield of 1.5%, which were two magnitudes superior to any other catalysts under aqueous environments. Moreover, the selectivity to methane approached 100%, meaning that carbon dioxide could be exclusively converted into pure fuels by sunlight....read more
