A novel, green, one-pot and energy efficient route has been developed for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles by natural sunlight irradiation, and they were utilized effectively for the colorimetric detection of Ni2+ and Co2+ ions.
Correction for ‘Formononetin in Radix Hedysari extract-mediated green synthesis of gold nanoparticles for colorimetric detection of ferrous ions in tap water’ by Xinyue Chen et al., RSC Adv., 2020, 10, 32897–32905, DOI: 10.1039/D0RA05660J.
The trans-cleavage activity of the target-activated CRISPR-Cas12a liberated an RNA crosslinker from a molecular transducer, which facilitated assembly of gold nanoparticles. Integration of the molecular transducer with isothermal amplification and...
