Breast cancer is on the rise, but new tools for early detection could save lives. In Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, researchers from the University of Florida and National Yang Ming Chiao ...

A small team of materials scientists and chemical engineers at Qingdao University, in China, has developed a self-powered, three-component biosensor that can kill bacteria in water samples. The study ...

Brazilian researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device identifies the biomarker molecule CA19-9, which is associated with the ...

What could be more valuable than a face mask that protects you from the SARS-CoV-2 virus? How about a face mask that offers protection and actually detects whether COVID-19 is present in your breath?

Since its origins in the 1960s, the biosensors field has grown to encompass a wide range of sensors, from enzyme-based to immunosensors to thermal biosensors. Along with this, a diverse set of ...

Scientists can do some nifty things with microbes, including engineering bacterial cells to sense and signal the presence of specific compounds. These microbial whole-cell biosensors have numerous ...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an optical methodology widely used to detect and quantify molecular interactions. SPR is considered the gold standard for quantification of protein interactions, but ...

Schematic of a generic biosensor architecture. The target analyte interacts with an immobilized bioreceptor layer, and the resulting molecular recognition event is translated by a physico-chemical ...
