(Nanowerk News) A research team led by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel structure that enables rapid and low-cost ...

Scientists from Turkey have designed a next-generation implantable biosensor using genetically engineered E. coli for molecular-level monitoring within the body that runs on its own, wirelessly, with ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia-Okanagan have developed a new microwave sensor that can quickly gather detailed data about how bacteria grow, allowing them to measure with a greater ...

Researchers have discovered a molecular 'barcode' system used by disease-causing bacteria to distinguish between beneficial and toxic molecules. Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a ...

Researchers have used carbon nanotubes to develop a new optical sensor that can detect bacteria and viruses, paving the way for novel, highly accurate diagnostic solutions for viruses such as COVID-19 ...

Many different types of bacteria and viruses can cause pneumonia, but there is no easy way to determine which microbe is causing a particular patient's illness. This uncertainty makes it harder for ...

Researchers have coaxed photosynthetic bacteria to ingest carbon nanotubes by wrapping the nanotubes in proteins (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41565-022-01198-x). This finding could lead to a ...

“All of the life forms on Earth have the same problem,” said Jonathan Kagan, an immunology researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital. “And that is dealing with infection.” Just as we worry about ...
