    Abstract: A coating comprising a metal-organic framework, wherein the metal-organic framework having a zeolitic structure comprising at least one multivalent metal species and at least one organic ligand (such as zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)). Said coating has a topography comprising an array of projections, and each projection having at least one tapered distal end. There is also provided a method of coating substrates with the disclosed coating and use of said coating as a disinfectant, an antiseptic, or an antibiotic. Such use is possible because the tapered distal end of the disclosed zeolitic structure exerting higher pressure on any microbial cell that comes into contact with the disclosed coating, thereby piercing through the cell membrane more easily, causing cell deformation and lysis.

    Abstract: An optical sensing device is provided, including a first polarizer, a second polarizer, wherein the first polarizer and the second polarizer have respective transmission axes aligned in orthogonal directions, an SPR sensor arrangement including an SPR sensing surface, the SPR sensor arrangement arranged to receive an incident light beam passed through a polarizer to be reflected at the SPR sensing surface and transmitted through a second polarizer to provide a transmitted light beam, a detector arrangement configured to detect the transmitted light beam, the transmitted light beam including a sensing signal and a reference signal, and a processor electrically coupled to the detector arrangement, the processor configured to perform a subtraction operation between the sensing signal and the reference signal. The optical sensing is based on a differential measurement scheme. The subtraction between the sensing signal and the reference signal cancels the common path noise and enhances the sensor resolution.
