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 ...

Researchers report successful results from a hand-held breast cancer screening device that can detect breast cancer biomarkers from a tiny sample of saliva. Their design uses common components, such ...

Imec and Genalyte have developed and produced a set of disposable silicon photonics biosensor chips to be used in Genalyte diagnostic and molecular detection equipment. The chips combine imec’s ...

The technologies combine durable stretchable sensing materials with tissue-integrated implants, enabling long-term health ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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?
