Abstract
The electrical double‐layer plays a key role in important interfacial electrochemical processes from catalysis to energy storage and corrosion. Therefore, understanding its structure is crucial for the progress of sustainable technologies. We extract new physico‐chemical information on the capacitance and structure of the electrical double‐layer of platinum and gold nanoparticles at the molecular level, employing single nanoparticle electrochemistry. The charge storage ability of the solid/liquid interface is larger by one order‐of‐magnitude than predicted by the traditional mean‐field models of the double‐layer such as the Gouy–Chapman–Stern model. Performing molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the possible relationship between the measured high capacitance and adsorption strength of the water adlayer formed at the metal surface. These insights may launch the active tuning of solid–solvent and solvent–solvent interactions as an innovative design strategy to transform energy technologies towards superior performance and sustainability.

Abstract
Current-time recordings of emulsified toluene microdroplets containing 20 mM Ferrocene (Fc), show electrochemical oxidation peaks from individual adsorption events on disk microelectrodes (5 μm diameter). The average droplet diameter (∼0.7 μm) determined from peak area integration was close to Dynamic Light Scattering measurements (∼1 μm). Random walk simulations were performed deriving equations for droplet electrolysis using the diffusion and thermal velocity expressions from Einstein. The simulations show that multiple droplet-electrode collisions, lasting ∼0.11 μs each, occur before a droplet wanders away. Updating the Fc-concentration at every collision shows that a droplet only oxidizes ∼0.58% of its content in one collisional journey. In fact, it would take ∼5.45 × 106 collisions and ∼1.26 h to electrolyze the Fc in one droplet with the collision frequency derived from the thermal velocity (∼0.52 cm/s) of a 1 μm-droplet. To simulate adsorption, the droplet was immobilized at first contact with the electrode while the electrolysis current was computed. This approach along with modeling of instrumental filtering, produced the best match of experimental peaks, which were attributed to electrolysis from single adsorption events instead of multiple consecutive collisions. These results point to a heightened sensitivity and speed when relying on adsorption instead of collisions. The electrochemical current for the former is limited by the probability of adsorption per collision, whereas for the latter, the current depends on the collision frequency and the probability of electron transfer per collision (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 16923-16931).

Abstract
Nanomechanical and structural characterisations of algal cells are of key importance for understanding their adhesion behaviour at interfaces in the aquatic environment. We examine here the nanomechanical properties and adhesion dynamics of the algal cells during two phases of their growth using complementary surface methods and the mathematical modelling. Mechanical properties of motile cells are hard to assess while keeping cells viable, and studies to date have been limited. Immobilisation of negatively charged cells to a positively charged substrate enables high-resolution AFM imaging and nanomechanical measurements. Cells were stiffer and more hydrophobic in the exponential than in the stationary phase, suggesting molecular modification of the cell envelope during aging. The corresponding properties of algal cells were in agreement with the increase of critical interfacial tensions of adhesion, determined amperometrically. Cells in exponential phase possessed a larger cell volume, in agreement with the large amount of amperometrically measured displaced charge at the interface. Differences in the kinetics of adhesion and spreading of cells at the interface were attributed to their various volumes and nanomechanical properties that varied during cell aging. Our findings contribute to the present body of knowledge on the biophysics of algal cells on a fundamental level.

Abstract
We examined the response of algal cells to laboratory-induced cadmium stress in terms of physiological activity, autonomous features (motility and fluorescence), adhesion dynamics, nanomechanical properties, and protein expression by employing a multimethod approach. We develop a methodology based on the generalized mathematical model to predict free cadmium concentrations in culture. We used algal cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta, which are widespread in marine and freshwater systems, as a model organism. Cell adaptation to cadmium stress is manifested through cell shape deterioration, slower motility, and an increase of physiological activity. No significant change in growth dynamics showed how cells adapt to stress by increasing active surface area against toxic cadmium in the culture. It was accompanied by an increase in green fluorescence (most likely associated with cadmium vesicular transport and/or beta-carotene production), while no change was observed in the red endogenous fluorescence (associated with chlorophyll). To maintain the same rate of chlorophyll emission, the cell adaptation response was manifested through increased expression of the identified chlorophyll-binding protein(s) that are important for photosynthesis. Since production of these proteins represents cell defence mechanisms, they may also signal the presence of toxic metal in seawater. Protein expression affects the cell surface properties and, therefore, the dynamics of the adhesion process. Cells behave stiffer under stress with cadmium, and thus, the initial attachment and deformation are slower. Physicochemical and structural characterizations of algal cell surfaces are of key importance to interpret, rationalize, and predict the behaviour and fate of the cell under stress in vivo.

Abstract
Continued risk assessment by evaluating cardiac biomarkers in healthy and unhealthy individuals can lower the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In this research, we have developed a hand-held biosensor system to rapidly screen for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) from a single drop of whole blood. The sensor methodology is based on extended gate design of electrical double layer (EDL) field effect transistor (FET), that can directly detect BNP in whole blood, without extensive sample pre-treatments, thereby eliminating the limitations of charge screening in high ionic strength solutions. A simple sensor array chip is fabricated to integrate with the MOSFET sensor system. Sensing characteristics are elucidated using purified BNP samples in 1 × PBS (with 4% BSA), spiked BNP samples in whole blood and clinical whole blood samples. The blood cells can be gravitationally separated without the use of any external actuation. The sensor exhibits very high sensitivity over wide dynamic range of detection. The sensing characteristics are not adversely affected by the presence of background proteins or blood cells, even without gravitational blood cell separation. Thus, the biosensor system can allow users to perform rapid whole blood diagnostics with minimal user protocols, in 5 min. The features of high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness and convenience of usage empower this technology to revolutionize the mobile diagnostics and healthcare industry.

Abstract
Detection of disease biomarkers from whole blood is very important in disease prevention and management. However, new generation assays like point-of-care or mobile diagnostics face a myriad of challenges in detecting proteins from whole blood. In this research, we have designed, fabricated, and characterized a portable biomedical sensor for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) directly from whole blood, without sample pretreatments. The sensing methodology is based on an extended gate electrical double layer (EDL) gated field effect transistor (FET) biosensor that can offer very high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range, and high selectivity to target analyte. The sensing methodology is not impeded by electrostatic screening and can be applied to all types of FET sensors. A portable biomedical system is designed to carry out the diagnostic assay in a very simple and rapid manner, that allows the user to screen for target protein from a single drop of blood, in 5 min. This biomedical sensor can be used in hospitals and homes alike, for early detection of cTnI which is a clinical marker for acute myocardial infarction. This sensing methodology could potentially revolutionize the modern health care industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elemental sulfur (S) persists in natural aquatic environment in a variety of forms with different size distributions from dissolved to particulate. Determination of S speciation mainly consists of the application of chromatographic and electrochemical techniques while its size determination is limited only to the application of microscopic and light scattering techniques. S biological and geochemical importance together with recent increases of S industrial applications requires the development of different analytical tools for S sizing and quantification. In recent years the use of electrochemical measurements as a direct, fast, and inexpensive technique for the different nanoparticles (NPs) characterization (Ag, Au, Pt) is increasing. In this work, electrochemical i.e. chronoamperometric measurements at the Hg electrode are performed for determination of the size distribution of the S NPs. RESULTS S NPs were synthesized in aqueous medium by sodium polysulphide acidic hydrolysis. Chronoamperometric measurements reveal the polydisperse nature of the formed suspension of S NPs. The electrochemical results were compared with dynamic light scattering measurements parallel run in the same S NPs suspensions. The two methods show fairly good agreement, both suggesting a log-normal size distribution of the S NPs sizes characterized by similar parameters. CONCLUSIONS The preliminary results highlight the amperometric measurements as a promising tool for the size determination of the S NPs in the water environment.

Abstract
A novel nanocapillary electrophoretic electrochemical (Nano-CEEC) chip has been developed to demonstrate the possibility of zeptomole-level detection of neurotransmitters released from single living cells. The chip integrates three subunits to collect and concentrate scarce neurotransmitters released from single PC-12 cells, including a pair of targeting electrodes for single cells captured by controlling the surface charge density; a dual-asymmetry electrokinetic flow device for sample collection, pre-concentration and separation in a nanochannel; and an online electrochemical detector for zeptomole-level sample detection. This Nano-CEEC chip integrates a polydimethylsiloxane microchannel for cell sampling and biomolecule separation and a silicon dioxide nanochannel for sample pre-concentration and amperometric detection. The cell-capture voltage ranges from 0.1 to 1.5 V with a frequency of 1-10 kHz for PC-12 cells, and the single cell-capture efficiency is optimized by varying the duration of the applied field. All of the processes, from cell sampling to neurotransmitter detection, can be completed within 15 min. Catecholamines, including dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) released from coupled single cells, have been successfully detected using the Nano-CEEC chip. A detection limit of 30-75 zeptomoles was achieved, which is close to the levels released by a single neuron in vitro.

The bilayer was formed by one of two methods: fusion of lamellar vesicles or by the combination of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) deposition. Results indicate that phospholipid vesicles rapidly adsorb and fuse to form a film at the electrode surface. The resulting film undergoes a very slow structural transformation until a characteristic corrugated phase is formed. Force-distance curve measurements reveal that the thickness of the corrugated phase is consistent with the thickness of a bilayer lipid membrane. The formation of the corrugated phase may be explained by considering the elastic properties of the film and taking into account spontaneous curvature induced by the asymmetric environment of the bilayer, in which one side faces the gold substrate and the other side faces the solution. The effect of temperature and electrode potential on the stability of the corrugated phase has also been described.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intermittent hydrostatic pressure with various resting periods on the cell adhesive forces and other parameters related to spreading in early stage of cell adhesion. For this, bovine pulmonary arterial endothelium (CPAE, cell line), porcine articular chondrocytes, and human endothelial cells (HECs) were used. The cells were divided into six different experimental groups. Control group was cultured without stimulation, while the constant pressure was applied to group 1 for 2 h. Groups 2-5 were intermittently pressurized for 2 min at a time over a 2-h period with 5, 10, 15, and 20-min resting periods, respectively. Each group was then split into two subgroups, depending whether it experienced extra 60 min stabilization period after stimulation. The average adhesive force and the number and area of focal contacts were significantly higher in the group 4 subgroup, which received an extra 60 min of culture than in the other groups. Similarly, other parameters in this subgroup were significantly different from those in the other groups. The focal contact area and adhesive force were closely related (r = 0.990). We concluded that the mechanical stimuli affect cell adhesion and that the length of the resting period influences the adhesive forces generated at the early stages of adhesion.

Abstract
The mechanism of cell adhesion to biomaterials or components of the extracellular matrix is an important topic in the field of tissue engineering and related biotechnological processes. Many factors affect cell adhesion, and many biochemical and biological studies have attempted to identify their roles in the adhesion mechanism. Systematic studies of this nature require quantification of the adhesive force of a cell to identify the effect of a specific factor. However, most studies of cell adhesive force have used qualitative approaches. We propose a new technique for quantifying the force by which cells adhere to various biomaterial surfaces, which utilizes the relationship between the deflection of a cantilever beam and the required force. A micropipette was used as the cantilever beam. This technique was used to measure the attachment forces of chondrocytes seeded on three different biodegradable polymers commonly used in tissue engineering and medicine: poly epsilon-carprolactone (PCL), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PGLA, L/G = 75:25). The bond between the cells and the three polymers was evaluated using the quantified adhesive forces. The adhesive forces were also measured 8, 12, 24 h and 5 days after seeding the chondrocytes on the polymer surfaces. Results of statistical analysis showed that the cells attached to the PLLA had the strongest average attachment force for up to 24 h after seeding (P < 0.05).
