Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged over the past few decades as
interesting synthetic alternatives due to their long-term chemical and physical stability and …

Understanding building envelope thermodynamics is an essential foundation of building
sciences, mainly due to the envelope's role as a boundary layer for exterior environments …

Molecularly imprinted plasmonic nanosensors are robust devices capable of selective target
interaction, and in some cases reaction catalysis. Recent advances in control of nanoscale …

Molecular imprinting is an approach of generating imprinting cavities in polymer structures
that are compatible with the target molecules. The cavities have memory for shape and …

Muography is a rapidly developing and non-destructive tomographic technology that uses
cosmic ray muons. Due to the natural presence and deeper penetration of cosmic ray …

The integrity, comfort, and energy demand of a building can be negatively affected by the
presence of moisture in its walls. Therefore, it is essential to identify and characterise this …

Molecular recognition has been described as the “ultimate” form of sensing and plays a
fundamental role in biological processes. There is a move towards biomimetic recognition …

Heritage buildings are valuable assets that represent national cultural identity. Proper
building maintenance is a major issue for preservation, as building monitoring aspects and …

In this work, a system was developed for the extraction and colorimetric assay of malathion
as a model of organophosphorus pesticide in the environmental sample matrixes. In this …

On-site, instrument free quantitative analysis of pesticides is of significant importance for
food safety control. However, it is still a great challenge for pesticide detection in food via the …
