Headed by scientists from the iNANO/Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Aarhus University and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, a scientific collaboration has led to the development of a synthetic DNA nanopore that can selectively translocate protein-sized macromolecules across lipid bilayers.
An artificial olfactory system based on self-powered nano-generator has been built by Prof. ZHAN Yang’s team at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with colleagues at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
Majority of the people underestimate the value of speech; however, it is, in fact, an intricate process in which both motions of the mouth and vibrations of folded tissues, known as vocal cords, take place within the throat.
When something goes wrong in quality control, the reputation of the brand concerned is at stake. Better to exclude risks in the first place.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has developed a new group of electronic materials that may pave the way to a “green,” more sustainable future in biomedical and environmental sensing, say research leaders microbiologist Derek Lovley and polymer scientist Todd Emrick.
In a refreshing change of perspective, theoretical physicist Dr Zeila Zanolli has looked at the proximity effects of graphene on a magnetic semiconducting substrate, finding it to affect the substrate’s magnetism down to several layers below the surface.
Cell-based biosensors are able to reproduce the effect of different substances (for example, drugs) on the human body in the lab, but it is very costly.
An engineer team from the University of Alberta has created a new way for producing electrical power capable of charging handheld devices or sensors that have the potential to monitor anything from medical implants to pipelines.
Scientists from Russia have devised a mechanism which involves using green light to detect molecular hydrogen in order to light up a nanocrystalline composite sensor based on indium and zinc oxides. This is the first time that a gas sensor has been able to function at ambient temperature. The study was reported in the Scientific Reports journal.
In the future, the procedure of blowing into the tube will not just be used by police checking for alcohol intoxication, but it will also be applied for testing the condition of athletes and for people wanting to lose that extra bit of weight. ETH researchers have developed a sensor that allows carrying out measurements when the body begins to burn fat with a convenient breathalyzer.
