Abstract
This paper describes mass spectrometry (MS) using nanoparticles (NPs) for the analysis of biomolecules such as aminothiol compounds, drugs, peptides, proteins, and bacteria. Papers and patents dealing with preparation and use of several NPs in MS have been briefly reviewed, including carbon nanotubes, gold NPs, and magnetic NPs. The NPs or bioconjugated NPs were used for selective concentration and/or assisted matrices for desorption and ionization of analytes of interest. When compared to conventional organic matrixes, the NPs provide low MS background in low-mass region and low shot-to-shot variation. MS techniques using NPs and bioconjugated NPs for the analysis of disease-associated biomarkers and bacteria in real samples such as blood and urine are highlighted, showing the advantages of high sensitivity, reproducibility, and simplicity.

Advances in Vanadium and Titanium Resources for High-performance Materials via Nanostructuring and Nanoengineering (updated BMS-NANOTEC-2023-HT-31)
Vanadium and titanium-based materials are ideal candidates for structural and functional materials in aerospace, biomedical engineering, optics, catalysis, energy storage and conversion etc. Vanadium/titanium-based alloys, compounds and materials have a large family with different chemical compositions, dimensions, structures/morphologies, and chemical/physical/mechanical properties, which provides huge opportunities for the development of emerging ...read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
Nano-coatings and Nanoscale Composites for Hazardous Environments
Automobile, defence, and aerospace sectors need lightweight material for fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Often these materials are added with nanoscale reinforcements or have to be coated with nanomaterials to improve the scratch resistance, self-healing behaviour and corrosion and wear resistance and are all much needed for hazardous environments without ...read more
NANOSTRUCTURED NEUROMORPHIC DEVICES: TOWARDS IN MATERIA COMPUTING
The efforts pursued in the last decade to build up brain-inspired systems with electronic hardware solutions to solve complex data processing tasks, have leaded to the development of a new generation of devices, as memristor crossbar arrays, and their different applications became more and more reliable. One of the basic ...read more
