Carbon nanotube-based ethylene sensor establishes fruit ripeness
Test Result Written in Blood
Paper-based blood test provides “written report” of blood type.
Detecting Poison: New Probe Developed for Cyanide Sensing
A new type of probe for detecting highly toxic cyanide anions has been developed by Professor F. Li and co-workers at Fudan University, China.
Two Layers are Better than One for Nitric Oxide Detection
Nitric oxide detectors made of two to four layers of MoS2 incorporated into a field-effect transistor outperform a single-layered device.
In vivo oxygen measurement
For measuring mitochondrial oxygen pressure clinically, just apply a cream on the skin.
Nanoparticles in the War on Chemical Warfare
A nanoparticle-based nerve agent detector is developed by researchers in Korea
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
DNA Fragments Throw Light on Nuclease Activity
Nuclease activity can be detected by a simple, sensitive, and selective test based on light scattering of carbon nanotubes, with no need for a label.
Nanomemory – Devices Based on Nanotubes and Nanowires
French scientists have made light-sensitive memory devices by combining carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires.
Cilia Revolution
University of Southern Mississippi scientists imitated Mother Nature by developing a new, skinny-molecule-based material that resembles cilia, the tiny, hair-like structures through which organisms derive smell, vision, hearing and fluid flow.
