Biofuels are economically feasible with a promising one and a renewable option to the petroleum fuels probably to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions. A novel handful of drop-in the replacement of biofuels for the conventional transportation fuels have been down recently from a selected list of over 10,000 potential candidates as part from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines (Co-Optima) initiative.

Yahya et al ., and Majumdar et al ., have investigated on “biofuels produced from processed waste and non-food feedstocks which may be implemented either neat or blended components into existing fuels to reduce reliance on liquid fossils with little change to the existing infrastructure” in their research papers published in Nature (2012) [ 1,2 ]. The biofuels choice were mainly depends upon their composition, other physical and chemical properties, which can exhibit similar properties

Prof. A. Ahmed et al., and his collaboration research team at various Universities from USA and India have been reviewed on the multifunctional integrated 2D MXene smart-textile interfaces. This research review was reported in Chemistry of Materials (ACS journal) published on 8 th  December 2020. Next generation electronics have emerged as a unique platform for soft robotics, wearable smart textiles, and virtual reality etc., towards the multifunctional applications. Smart textile based devices played a major vital role in wearable electronics, personal thermal management, real-time m onitoring of healthcare, also have contributed in the areas of energy harvesting to energy storage, sensors etc. It can be seen that, a significant attention has been augmented for the wearable smart textile systems which offers portable sensing, self-powered energy management, and health monitoring for the nanofabrication of textiles with electroactive materials. As the emergence of two-dimensional

Pesticides have played a remarkable role in the human health issues towards our life and security scenarios. Pesticides are gaining new attention to protecting our livestock and crops from pests, weeds, nematodes and insects. Preferably, the carbamates contained pesticides are utilized in gardening, agriculture, forestry and therapeutic pharmaceuticals, at simultaneous to minimal nonpersistence and bioaccumulation in the present environmental needs [ 1 ].   A specific and most toxic one is carbofuran (CF) also called as 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl N -methyl carbamate, a compound which belongs to the carbamate pesticides family [ 2 ]. Figure 1. Schematic representation of  Dy 2 Sn 2 O 7 /GO for the electrochemical detection of carbofuran (CF) in vegetable samples [ 3 ]. World Health Organisation (WHO) have insisted an alert about CF and their incorporated items can have possible damage to the biological properties of plants (in enzyme), soil as well as human parts (gene, ne

  Prof. K.H. Grantz et al., and his collaboration research team at various universities from USA have been reviewed on the utilization of mobile phone data analysis in this COVID-19 pandemic epidemiology. This research review was reported in Nature Communications journal published on 30 th September 2020. Usage of mobile phone data analysis should be considered with a careful understanding of the present populations with their behavior i s an outbreak response in this pandemic epidemiology. It was proposed to assess the potential drivers with a spatiotemporal spread and also to monitor the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions ( NPIs) to support the contact tracing efforts. Further, they have reviewed various applications used for mobile phone data analysis with proper guidance and evaluation of COVID-19 response in this pandemic epidemiology. Also with the relevance of these various applications for infectious disease with transmission control for the potential sourc

Rudolf Mössbauer has discovered the Mössbauer effect and was honored the Nobel Prize in 1961, based on that the Mössbauer spectroscopy was obtained [ 1 ]. The discovery of the Mössbauer spectroscopy effect is the recoilless (also called: recoil-free) nuclear resonance emission/absorption of γ-rays. In the case of a nuclear transition, the de-excited nucleus is normally recoiled by the momentum of the γ-photon emitted, which makes its resonance absorption impossible by another ground-state nucleus of the same type. However, in solids, recoilless photons can be emitted (and reabsorbed by another ground-state nucleus) with some probability. Mössbauer spectroscopy has utilized in numerous interdisciplinary research applications from core subjects (physics, chemistry, and biology). This spectroscopic technique will be continued to make significant contributions based upon the 2004-2005’s analysis of soil from the Mars surface with spectra collected in-situ [ 2 ].
