Upto 10 yrs. sensors and biosensors for the electrochemical determination of heavy metals using graphene and graphene-based derivatives are critically reviewed and a meta-analysis is performed. Additionally, toxicity of heavy metals and their contributions to sustainable development goals proposed by the UN are also discussed.

Are PGM-based (Bio)sensors ready for point-of-care diagnostics?

This systematic review examines how personal glucose meters (PGMs) are repurposed as portable, low-cost biosensors to detect environmental pollutants like pesticides and heavy metals. It highlights the challenge of making sensitive lab methods viable for real-world applicability criteria for field-ready devices.

From time to time YouTube stops working especially after using VPN. This time it was worse and I spent 5 hours trying to figure out the problem. Strangely all sites worked except for YouTube. Additionally, the problem was the same in Edge, Opera and Yandex browsers. In the process I understood the following:

1. In Windows, the hosts file may contain additions that block access to sites. We often use these in illegal registres. For example, after cracking a software to prevent it from communicating online. This was not the case this time.
2. There are SSL handshakes which may fail during connection. I tried resetting, but it didn't work.
3. Cleared all browsing history and tried incognito mode. YouTube still didn't load.
4. I flushed the DNS and did other internal and router resets. Nothing worked.

Finally, I read an interesting bit of advice - to try Firefox. Apparantly Firefox doesn't use chromium. It worked.

I now ported back to Firefox after 12 years. I wish I had done this earlier. I was under the impression that all's well that googled well. But Firefox did the trick. It is smoother and has Ubuntu style tab layout. But quite frankly I would have ported to Microsoft Edge if it meant YouTube could work.

Also immediately I changed flags in Firefox for window timeouts, otherwise there is a delay in going full screen in YouTube.

YouTube now works in all browsers again, but once Firefox. Always Firefox. :)

How to tackle antibiotic resistance?

Increasing antibiotic use leads to antimicrobial resistance, demanding rapid and affordable detection strategies. In this systematic review and meta-analysis a decade of graphene-based electrochemical sensors for antibiotics detection and challenges associated with these (bio)sensors are evaluated.
