Researchers at Northwestern University use engineered biosensors to bring low-cost water quality tests to Chicago area residents. However, the team could face federal funding cuts as they work to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a method to measure accurately both the distribution of clusters of nanoparticles in solution and how their light absorption spectrum changes with size. The measurements ...

Fluorescence imaging and biosensors have emerged as indispensable tools in modern biological research, offering unparalleled insights into cellular dynamics and molecular interactions. By utilising ...

Nanoparticles were first developed approximately 35 years ago [1]. They were initially developed as carriers for vaccines and cancer chemotherapy agents. In the first part of the paper we focused on ...

In 2010, Ahmet Ali Yanik published his first paper on the rapid detection of Ebola virus using new biosensor technology he and colleagues at Boston University had invented. But he found there was ...

Advanced bioengineering of plant hormone receptors may lead to controlling complex genetic circuits in living cells, according to new research by Associate Professor Timothy Whitehead and his partners ...

Researchers demonstrate atomically thin, ultrasensitive and scalable molybdenum disulfide field-effect transistor based biosensors and establish their potential for single-molecule detection Move over ...

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive type of cancer that is difficult to detect and has a 5-year survival rate of less than 11%, which is further reduced if it has metastasized. Researchers at the ...

We like to keep a pulse on the latest biosensor research going on around the world. One class of biosensors that have really caught our attention is the so-called thin-film sensors, pioneered by the ...

A new nanotechnology-based biosensor under development may allow early detection of both cancer cells and pathogens, leading to increased food safety and reduced health risks. A nanotechnology-based ...

For over ten years, Ali Yanik has been working to develop novel biosensor technology to provide rapid, low-cost testing for disease diagnostics and precision medicine. Now, with a five-year, $3.7 ...
