Conductive hydrogel flexible sensors have attracted widespread attention in the field of wearable electronic devices, which typically possess the properties of stretch resistance, moisture retention, antifreeze, adhesion, and self-healing. Herein, a silk nanofiber–tannic acid (SNF@TA) is successfully introduced into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel to prepare a rigid and adhesive PVA–SNF@TA organohydrogel, exhibiting good mechanical strength (up to 365 kPa) and excellent self-healing properties. Due to the presence of conductive ions and ethylene glycol, the PVA–SNF@TA organohydrogel presents high sensitivity and cold resistance (− 18 °C). Moreover, the PVA–SNF@TA organohydrogel maintains a good transparency of 91% and ultraviolet filtration capacity. A strain sensor made of PVA–SNF@TA organohydrogel has good adhesion and accurate sensing signals. Generally, the designed sensor can significantly monitor small deformations, such as frowning, blinking, smiling, and swallowing motions, showing an impressive sensitivity (gauge factor 1.094) and stable (1000 stretching cycles) variable sensing characteristics. More specifically, a pressure sensor consisted of a PVA–SNF@TA organohydrogel cylinder keeps good sensing stability, thereby desirably detecting different large movements of the human body (finger pressing, walking and running). Our work can offer a broad avenue for the advanced architecture of functional hydrogel materials, which has great potential in the field of human exercise and health monitoring. Graphical abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool. However, its applications for in situ detection of target molecules presented on diverse material surfaces have been hindered by difficulties in rapid fabricating SERS-active substrates on the surfaces of these materials through a simple, low-cost, and portable approach. Here, we demonstrate our attempt to address this issue by developing a facile and versatile method capable of in situ generating silver nanoparticle film (SNF) on the surfaces of both artificial and natural materials in a simple, cheap, practical, and disposable manner. Taking advantage of the high SERS enhancement ability of the prepared SNF, the proposed strategy can be used for in situ inspecting herbicide and pesticide residues on vegetables, as well as the abuse of antiseptic in aquaculture industry. Therefore, it opens new avenues for advancing the application prospects of SERS technique in the fields of food safety, drug security, as well as environment monitoring.

Background The study of symbiotic nitrogen fixation between (SNF) legumes and rhizobia has always been a hot frontier in scientific research. Nanotechnology provides a new strategy for biological nitrogen fixation research. However, how to construct abiotic nano-structure-biological system, using the special properties of nanomaterials, to realize the self-enhancement of biological nitrogen fixation capacity is important.Results In order to construct a more efficient SNF system, in this study, we applied manganese ferrite nanoparticles (MF-NPs) with sustainable diatomic catalysis to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus regulating the nodulation pathway and increasing the number of nodules in soybean (Glycine max), eventually enhancing symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Symbiosis cultivation of MF-NPs and soybean plants resulted in 50.85% and 61.4% increase in nodule weight and number, respectively, thus inducing a 151.36% nitrogen fixation efficiency increase, finally leading to a 25.70% biomass accumulation increase despite no substantial effect on the nitrogenase activity per unit. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that of 36 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 31 DEGs related to soybean nodulation were upregulated in late rhizobium inoculation stage (12 d), indicating that the increase of nodules was derived from nodule-related genes (Nod-R) continuous inductions by MF-NPs.Conclusion sOur results indicated that the nodule number could be effectively increased by extending the nodulation period without threatening the vegetative growth of plants or triggering the autoregulation of nodulation (AON) pathway. This study provides an effective strategy for induction of super-conventional nodulation.Graphical Abstract
