New research from scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst shows that pili—tiny filaments jutting out from bacteria—can be used to create wires used in biosensors and bioelectronics.
Measuring a few millimetres across, these sensor chips could in the future be incorporated in Internet of Things (IoT) biosensors that would enable home-based health testing for supporting ...
These coatings help to drastically reduce surface fouling by serum (the clear liquid part of blood that remains after blood cells and clotting proteins are removed) as well as bacteria and fungi. The ...
Aptamers are not only highly suitable receptors for the selective and high-proficiency detection of a wide range of molecular targets, including bacteria, they have also shown to self-assemble on ...
