Penn State electrical engineering professor Aida Ebrahimi receives NIH Trailblazer Award to develop a daily testing device. Current COVID-19 tests require laboratory processing, resulting in…
Adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 exhale different metabolites in their breath than uninfected people, and dogs and diagnostic devices can detect these changes. Now, researchers reporting…
Conquering a chemical challenge to control the structure of a polymer opens a path to better biosensors. A new organic (carbon-based) semiconducting material has been…
Superfast, portable COVID-19 testing method detects the virus much faster than currently available methods. The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear technological innovations were urgently needed…
Rutgers innovation may help guide treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s diseases. A Rutgers-led team has created better biosensor technology that may help lead to safe stem…
Some bacteria release a toxin that forms pores on other cells. EPFL scientists have studied the pore-forming toxin aerolysin and genetically engineered it to be…
Scientists have successfully used microneedle biosensors to accurately detect changes in antibiotic levels in the body, for the first time. Small, non-invasive patches worn on…
Stanford engineers have developed experimental stickers that pick up physiological signals emanating from the skin, then wirelessly beam these health readings to a receiver clipped…
Constantly tracking a person’s glucose levels through their tears or sweat could be one step closer to providing people with diabetes an improved monitoring tool….
A team of materials scientists have discovered a way to make organic semiconductors more powerful and more efficient, growing organic semiconductor crystals vertically for first…
New biosensors enable complex genetic reprogramming of common bacteria like E. coli. The process could be leveraged for sustainable biomanufacturing, using the metabolic processes of…
New research from MIT unveils a series of sensors, memory switches, and circuits that can be encoded in the common human gut bacterium. The “friendly”…
Engineers at MIT have developed a new, ultrasensitive magnetic-field detector that is 1,000 times more energy-efficient than its predecessors. The detectors could lead to better…
