Metal Oxide Nanoparticles (MONPs) have become an important section of nanoparticles, and these nanomaterials have been utilized in different application fields. Thus, it’s very important to understand the major and feasible synthesis methods that are involved during the production of MONPs. In our review, we are highlighting some major processes for their synthesis and morphology. This review highlights the status, potential, challenges, and feasibility of different processes like sol-gel, CVD, thermal, flame spray, biological synthesis, and other major techniques to synthesize and their applications. Synthesis of nanomaterial through environmentally friendly and greener routes, which greatly impacts different applications, has also been studied as it has received massive attention as a sustainable, feasible, reliable, and cost-effective route in different fields. These artificially created MONPs exhibit distinct physical and chemical characteristics owing to their substantial surface area and nanoscale dimensions. Their exceptional size, shape, and structure further influence their reactivity, resilience, and diverse properties. Thanks to these attributes, they find wide-ranging uses in commercial and domestic applications, such as catalysis, antimicrobial treatments, bio-sensors, electro-sensors, as well as agriculture and various other significant fields. This review paper states major applications of these MONPs have great aspects and potential in the future and will help researchers gain further insights into these fields.

The ability to perform a remote sensing of glucose in the blood stream can be very applicable. The novel method presented in this paper is based on two optical approaches both based on the extraction and analysis of the changes in the collected speckle field. The first physical effect used for the detection is the temporal changes of the back scattered secondary speckles produced in the skin due to the changes of the blood stream parameters as a function of the glucose concentration in the blood. These cardio related changes can be analyzed with different machine learning algorithms to enhance the sensitivity of the measurements. The second physical effect assisting in performing the remote glucose sensing is the Faraday rotation effect in which the polarization of linearly polarized light is rotated when scattered from materials exhibiting this effect while being exposed to a magnetic field.

It is our great pleasure to publish the 6th volume, 6th issue, June 2015 of Advanced Materials Letters in celebration of Prof. Anthony P. F. Turner’s 65th Birthday. Professor Turner was born in London in the United Kingdom on June 5, 1950. He graduated in Applied Biology from the University of East London and gained a Masters in Biochemistry from the University of Kent. In 1980, he received his PhD in Microbiology at the University of Portsmouth. He joined Cranfield University in 1981 to help start the UK’s first Biotechnology Centre and founded the Biosensors group there, where he led the group that developed the world’s most successful type of biosensor, i.e., the hand-held mediated amperometric glucose sensor for people with diabetes.
