In recent years, the use of wearable sensing devices has become a part of people’s everyday lives. Devices such as smart watches, for example, can be used to monitor physical fitness functions such as heart rate, sleep and exercise. But advances in technology have opened many more possibilities for monitoring patient health. Sensors can now Read more about Novel design and strategic use of materials for wearable biosensors[…]
Solar cells can now be made so thin, light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells, which efficiently capture energy from light, could offer an alternative way to power novel electronic devices, such as medical skin patches, where conventional energy sources are unsuitable. “The tremendous developments in electronic skin Read more about Inkjet printing thin, light and flexible solar cells to power novell electronic devices[…]
Researchers of Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) approached the creation of a solid-state thin-film battery for miniature devices and sensors. The results of the study were published in the special issue dedicated to improved materials for lithium and sodium-ion batteries (Energies Journal, MDPI Publishing House). The development of miniature devices such as biosensors, smartwatches, Internet of things (IoT) Read more about Researchers approached the creation of a solid-state thin-film battery for miniature devices and sensors[…]
By combining chemistry and nanotechnology, the research community in recent years has developed a kind of extremely small nanoclusters consisting of only a few noble metal atoms bound to a DNA fragment. Such complexes are of major interest on account of their optical properties. They are considered to have great potential, for example, in the Read more about Silver atom nanoclusters could become efficient biosensors[…]
Instead of ordering batteries by the pack, we might get them by the ream in the future. Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have created a bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper that can power disposable electronics. The manufacturing technique reduces fabrication time and cost, and the design could revolutionize Read more about Papertronics – A bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper[…]
Ginkgo Bioworks, a leader in bioengineering, and Prospect Bio, a biosensor discovery and development company, announced today a collaboration to develop biosensors to accelerate biological strain development. Biosensors will be deployed to decrease the time and cost of screening prototype biological designs to speed the discovery process. Through the collaboration, Prospect will develop a number Read more about Sensors allow for rapid screening of organism designs[…]
In the area of nano photonics, scientists for the first time succeeded in integrating a laser with an organic gain medium on a silicon photonic chip. This approach is of enormous potential for low-cost biosensors that might be used for near-patient diagnosis once and without any sterilization expenditure similar to today’s strips for measuring blood Read more about First Time Integrate Organic Lasers on a Silicon Photonic Chip[…]
