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 ...

Researchers have used off-the-shelf components to create a sensor device that is not only cost-effective but can quickly detect 32 different pathogens and has sensitivities on par with the ...

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 ...

Optical fiber biosensors (OFBs) achieve ultra-low detection limits for biomarkers and toxins, yet face challenges in reproducibility and scalable manufacturing.

A new biotech startup has hatched from the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design with $6 million in funding and a leadership team fresh from Neoleukin Therapeutics, another IPD ...

SensTech, one of Cornell’s newest project teams, received a third-place award at the international biosensor competition, SensUs, for its wearable biosensor designed to manage kidney disease this ...

Iron is an essential trace element in biological cells. The concentration of the element and its so-called redox state—it can exist either in a doubly ionized state as iron (II) (Fe 2+) or a triply ...

Study biosensing-related technologies at the University of Nevada, Reno and earn a stipend while you get hands-on research experience. The Department of Electrical & Biomedical Engineering at the ...
