Reviewing in situ analytical techniques used to research Martian geochemistry: From the Viking Project to the MMX future mission
(Elsevier, 2022-03-08)
[EN] The study of space has always been a field of great interest and thus space missions are becoming more and more ambitious with time. Therefore, with the 50th anniversary of the first spacecraft to land on Mars, a ...
Ex situ and in situ Magnetic Phase Synthesised Magneto-Driven Alginate Beads
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)
[EN] Biocompatible magnetic hydrogels provide a great source of synthetic materials, which facilitate remote stimuli, enabling safer biological and environmental applications. Prominently, the ex situ and in situ magnetic ...
Production of Docosahexaenoic Acid and Odd-Chain Fatty Acids by Microalgae Schizochytrium limacinum Grown on Waste-Derived Volatile Fatty Acids
(MDPI, 2022-04-14)
Heterotrophic microalgae are recognized as a source of bioactive compounds. However, there are still some drawbacks for their use at an industrial scale associated with the high cost of glucose, the main carbon source in ...
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ...
Magneto Twister: Magneto Deformation of the Water-Air Interface by a Superhydrophobic Magnetic Nanoparticle Layer
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Remote manipulation of superhydrophobic surfacesprovides fascinating features in water interface-related applications. Asuperhydrophobic magnetic nanoparticle colloid layer is able to float on the water-air interface ...

(Elsevier, 2022-03-22)
[EN] Low cost and user-friendly paper microfluidic devices, combined with DNA-based biosensors with binding capacities for specific molecules, have been proposed for the developing of novel platforms that ease and speed-up ...
Toxicity to sea urchin embryos of crude and bunker oils weathered under ice alone and mixed with dispersant
(Elsevier, 2022)
[EN] A multi-index approach (larval lenghthening and malformations, developmental disruption, and genotoxicity) was applied using sea-urchin embryos as test-organisms. PAH levels measured in the under-ice weathered aqueous ...
Stepwise strategy based on 1H-NMR fingerprinting in combination with chemometrics to determine the content of vegetable oils in olive oil mixtures
(Elsevier, 2022-01-01)
1H NMR fingerprinting of edible oils and a set of multivariate classification and regression models organised in a decision tree is proposed as a stepwise strategy to assure the authenticity and traceability of olive oils ...
