A team led by La Trobe University has drawn inspiration from nature to develop a breakthrough sensor that can rapidly track ...

Flu season is fast approaching in the northern hemisphere. And a taste-based influenza test could someday have you swapping nasal swabs for chewing gum. A new molecular sensor has been designed to ...

Among the many problems with the flu is the fact that you can spread the virus before you even know you've got it. An experimental new "sensor" could one day keep you from doing so, by causing you to ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers report the invention of a modular, genetically encoded, protein-based sensor that enables MRI machines to visualize molecular activity inside cells ...

What if you could taste an early flu infection? Chemists report a molecular sensor that, when placed on an infected tongue as a thin film or gum, will release thyme’s main flavor compound, thymol (ACS ...

A cell-mimicking nanosensor uses lubricin and SERS to detect drugs in whole blood in real time, resisting fouling for over 10 hours of continuous monitoring.

You’ve seen people sliding into the tube of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine on your favorite medical drama, or maybe you’ve been inside one yourself, waiting as the noisy scanner makes ...
