ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, ...

What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

Wearable biosensors typically consist of a recognition region that detects the target signal, a transducer that converts that signal into a measurable parameter, and an electronic processor that ...

Early synthetic biology designs, namely the genetic toggle switch and repressilator, showed that regulatory components can be characterized and assembled to bring about complex, electronics-inspired ...

A research team from Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and Universitat de València (UV) has developed an innovative biosensor capable of detecting airborne viruses in real-time and at low cost ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

Dr. Ho Sang Jung and his research team from the Advanced Bio and Healthcare Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have developed an optical biosensor capable ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Andy Yeh develops artificial proteins in his lab. Cortisol is a crucial hormone that regulates many important bodily functions like blood pressure and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ensuring the safety of drinking water, food supplies, and environmental samples depends on detecting bacterial contamination before it causes harm. Traditional microbiological ...
