    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of detecting Ebola virus in a sample. The methods include contacting the sample with a plurality of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that are conjugated with at least two sets of antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that binds to at least first or second epitopes of glycoproteins, such as secreted glycoproteins (sGPs) from the Ebola virus under conditions sufficient for the antibodies, or the antigen binding portions thereof, to bind to the first or second epitopes of the glycoproteins from the Ebola virus in the sample to produce bound glycoproteins. The methods also include detecting the glycoproteins from the Ebola virus when aggregations of the bound glycoproteins form with one another. Related reaction mixtures, devices, kits, and systems are also provided.

    Abstract: Reflectors for concentrated solar power as well as systems and methods for additively manufacturing the reflectors is provided. The disclosed method can directly print metal films from an aqueous precursor solution onto a substrate with little to no post-fabrication treatment to achieve highly reflective surfaces with low surface roughness. The method provides precise control to form a metal film having an RMS surface roughness of about 2 to about 5 nm and a relative reflectivity of about 90% to about 96% at 550 nm on a substrate having an area of at least 1 square meter.
