Biosensors are devices comprising a biological element and a physiochemical detector that are used to detect analytes. These instruments have a wide range of applications ranging from clinical through ...

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?

Biomedical engineers and nanomedical scientists have devised various ways in which nanoelectronic biosensors can address, diagnose, and monitor the progression of human diseases. Nanoelectronic ...

Cornell scientists have engineered E. coli to act as a sensitive biosensor for monitoring environmental arsenic, a toxic ...

Researchers built a living biosensor made of bacteria that lights up when it detects acetic acid, the main chemical signal that wine is starting to spoil. It works in real time, even in high-alcohol ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered a way to boost the accuracy of common oxidase biosensors from 50% to 99%, paving the way for new uses. The researchers ...

Flexible electronics have been drawing significant attention for healthcare applications and show great promise for monitoring of blood circulation (e.g., postoperative monitoring of free flaps).

Detecting the activity of CRISPR gene editing tools in organisms with the naked eye and an ultraviolet flashlight is now possible using technology developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge ...

In trials using its new on-chip sensor, Chalmers demonstrated multiplexed detection of low-molecular-weight microRNA ...

Biosensor technology can detect a biological event by the production of a measurable signal. The process of detection combines a recognition element for a type of biomolecule or chemical reaction with ...
