"This biosensor is the first of its kind," said Chakrabarty, speaking of the technology used to detect airborne virus and bacteria particles. Scientists have previously had to use slower detection ...

“It shouldn’t be expensive because the sensor and readout circuit will be a very tiny module. We can reduce ... their quest to realize ultrasensitive biosensors for home use.

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.

Biosensors have emerged as a promising alternative, capable of identifying bacteria with high sensitivity while reducing processing time. However, many biosensors still rely on external power sources, ...

The device leverages a key biosensor module, MopR, derived from bacteria that thrive in polluted environments. This protein reacts selectively to aromatic xenobiotics, triggering a colour change ...
