Researchers report successful results from a hand-held breast cancer screening device that can detect breast cancer biomarkers from a tiny sample of saliva. Their design uses common components, such ...

Researchers have used off-the-shelf components to create a sensor device that is not only cost-effective but can quickly detect 32 different pathogens and has sensitivities on par with the ...

Biosensors are analytical devices that combine biological components and physicochemical detectors to detect chemical and biological substances. Nanotechnology, with the help of nanomaterials, ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

SensTech, one of Cornell’s newest project teams, received a third-place award at the international biosensor competition, SensUs, for its wearable biosensor designed to manage kidney disease this ...

Researchers overcome key challenges in the mass production of enzymatic biofuel cells, paving the way for self-powered ...

Support vector machines improve classification by mapping inseparable signals into higher-dimensional spaces. Random forest models, through ensemble decision trees, increase robustness against ...
