A graphene-based memory resistor (memristor) that can exist in many different states has been designed and demonstrated by Thomas Schranghamer, Aaryan Oberoi and Saptarshi Das at Pennsylvania State University in the US…………

A team of researchers at Cambridge University in the UK has now developed non-contact, wearable, portable sensors that measure the amount of moisture that leaks through a face mask during normal breathing, rapid breathing and coughing. ….

A team of researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands has employed deep learning – a form of artificial intelligence, or AI – to optimize the structure of nanoelectronics devices for the first time……

In collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), the Department of Engineering at Aarhus University has developed photonic sensor technology that can pave the way for a portable, reliable and, above all, inexpensive device for detecting ammonia and other gases in agriculture.…….. https://www.azooptics.com/News.aspx?newsID=26438&utm_source=azonetwork_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sensors_newsletter_3_december_2020

The aim of smart homes is to make life easier for those living in them. Applications for environment-aided daily life may have a major social impact, fostering active ageing and enabling older adults to remain independent for longer.…. https://www.azosensors.com/news.aspx?newsID=14223&utm_source=azonetwork_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sensors_newsletter_3_december_2020

A material with the ability to mimic the human skin in terms of sensitivity, stretchability, and strength could help collect biological information in real time.… https://www.azosensors.com/news.aspx?newsID=14220&utm_source=azonetwork_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sensors_newsletter_3_december_2020

Wearable and portable sensors for detecting bacteria and viruses in the surrounding environment may soon become a reality. But we’re not there yet.… https://www.azosensors.com/news.aspx?newsID=14218&utm_source=azonetwork_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sensors_newsletter_3_december_2020

Human bodily fluids and secretions contain molecules known as biomarkers that contain a wealth of information about the body’s health and the presence of disease. Among secretions such as tears, sweat and saliva, tears are considered the best source of biomarkers, with concentrations similar to those found in blood. Tears are also sterile, readily available […]

Researchers from Bochum, Göttingen, Duisburg, and Cologne have developed a new method for detecting bacteria and infections. They use fluorescent nanosensors to track down pathogens faster and more easily than with established methods. A team headed by Professor Sebastian Kruß, formerly at the University of Göttingen, now at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), describes the results in […]

WEHI researchers are studying ‘nanobodies’ – tiny immune proteins made by alpacas—in a bid to understand whether they might be effective in blocking SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

At the Wistar Institute, researchers merged synthetic DNA technology with their expertise in protein engineering to successfully create nanoparticle antitumor vaccines that stimulated strong CD8 T cell immunity and regulated melanoma growth in preclinical models……. https://www.azonano.com/news.aspx?newsID=37525&utm_source=azonetwork_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nanoparticles_and_colloids_newsletter_6_october_2020

A new technique for recycling silicon has been developed by researchers from Skoltech and their collaborators from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU). The study was reported in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.….

An international research team has developed “electronic skin” sensors capable of mimicking the dynamic process of human motion. This work could help severely injured people, such as soldiers, regain the ability to control their movements, as well as contribute to the development of smart robotics, according to Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Early Career Professor […]

Sensors have played a crucial role in medicine and life sciences as a medium to monitor vital organs and diagnose patients. However, the current conventional sensors developed by various sensing methods, such as lateral flow immunoassay (Viro Research, 2019), fluorescent microarray (Jaksik, Iwanaszko, Rzeszowska-Wolny, & Kimmel, 2015), electrochemical methods (Song, Xu, Kuroki, Liao, & Tsunoda, 2018), […]

Water companies expect an increase in demand for water during warmer summer months, but they need a better way of predicting how people use water and when, in addition to monitoring water quality. The answer could be sensors placed within the water network.
