After cochlear implant (CI) insertion, there is a possibility of postoperative inflammation, which may involve proinflammatory markers such as interleukin-6. Detecting this inflammation promptly is crucial for administering anti-inflammatory drugs, if required. One potential method for detecting inflammation is using molecular imprinted polymers (M...

The ongoing challenge of water pollution by contaminants of emerging concern calls for more effective wastewater treatment to prevent harmful side effects to the environment and human health. To this end, this study explored for the first time the implementation of single-crystal boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes in electrochemical wastewater treatm...
PURPOSE: Attempts to use current-focussing strategies with cochlear implants (CI) to reduce neural spread-of-excitation have met with only mixed success in human studies, in contrast to promising results in animal studies. Although this discrepancy could stem from between-species anatomical and aetiological differences, the masking experiments used...

To achieve high -performance electrochemical supercapacitors (ESCs), it is crucial to control thin-film electrode fabrication. The uniform thickness of these electrodes is of paramount importance as it enables the rapid electrochemical responses during the charge-discharge processes, facilitated by their shorter charge and ion diffusion lengths. Th...
The self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles into ordered structures induced by liquid crystals (LCs) shows great promise for innovative electric-optic devices. However, the large size of colloidal nanoparticles is a challenge for realizing highly ordered assemblies. In this work, micrometer-long colloidal silver nanowires (AgNWs) are dispersed in ...
