Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer ...

A new CRISPR-powered light sensor can detect the faintest whispers of cancer in a single drop of blood.

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 ...

Chinese tech company Changhong unveiled a new smartphone, the H2, that can scan objects to determine their molecular authenticity. I saw a live, hands-on demo of the smartphone’s sensor, where the ...

Terahertz (THz) waves are a type of electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz. These waves have low ionization energy and they are able to distinguish between different ...

Scientists from Turkey have designed a next-generation implantable biosensor using genetically engineered E. coli for molecular-level monitoring within the body that runs on its own, wirelessly, with ...

The molecular switch in the biopolymer sensor consists of a protein that acts like a lock and key. When a target molecule or pathogen (blue) binds to the switch, it uncovers the “lock” allowing a ...
