Although there are now a number of skin-worn sensors which identify metabolites in sweat, the technology is limited in what it can detect, plus the sensors often aren't reusable. A new one, however, ...

Molecular recognition and molecular encapsulation are nanoscale processes that offer great potential for applications as diverse as sensors, environmental remediation and targeted drug delivery.

In the present study, we aim at the development of an ultra supersensitive odor sensor system for ppt (parts per trillion) level detection of explosives by combining a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) ...

While many of the stages of the cell-mediated immune response are known, the mechanisms by which various white blood cells can specifically bind (and release) to initiation proteins are not as well ...

Scientists are harnessing light-sensitive nanoparticle sensors to detect chemicals in real time, no lab prep needed. They have potential in medicine, pollution tracking, and in industry. Image Credit: ...

Nick obtained a BSc in Pharmacology (Southampton 1997) followed by an MRes in Biochemistry (Exeter 1999). His PhD was in the sensor development for detection of fungal toxins using molecularly ...

We prepared magnetically anisotropic soft materials by in situ synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles in a matrix composed of κ-carrageenan and PVA followed by mechanical stretching of the hybrid in a ...

Biomolecular interactions are at the core of drug discovery and development. In order to accurately determine a biomolecular interaction’s affinity, binding kinetics and thermodynamic profile, among ...
