Using optogenetics, researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that is addressing a cell-internal calcium store. When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or ...

Fluorescent boronic acid-based sensors exploit the reversible covalent interaction between boronic acid moieties and vicinal diols, a structural motif ubiquitous in saccharides. Upon formation of a ...

Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering have created new noninvasive, wearable sensors that monitor levels of uric acid in human sweat. A paper about the research has been published ...

Wearable biosensors are revolutionizing point-of-care diagnostics by offering real-time monitoring of physiological metrics and biomarkers. A team of researchers at Purdue University’s College of ...

An Indian research team has designed a polymer film-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode that can selectively detect folic acid (FA), a B vitamin and essential compound of human blood 1. Decreased ...

Climate change is causing increased flooding and prolonged waterlogging in northern Europe, but also in many other parts of the world. This can damage meadow grasses, field crops or other plants - ...
