Sensors allow for rapid screening of organism designs

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[…]

Detecting blood alcohol content with an electronic skin patch

Overconsumption of alcohol can lead to errors in judgment, causing, for example, some people to get behind the wheel when they are impaired. To help imbibers easily and quickly know when they’ve had enough, scientists have developed a flexible, wearable patch that can detect a person’s blood-alcohol level from his or her sweat. The monitor, reported in the Read more about Detecting blood alcohol content with an electronic skin patch[…]
