Researchers have developed a novel sensor for the detection of bacteria. It is based on a chip with an innovative surface coating. This ensures that only very specific microorganisms adhere to the ...

Each year, bacterial infections claim several million lives worldwide. That is why detecting harmful microorganisms is crucial – not only in the diagnosis of diseases but also, for example, in food ...

Move over, colonoscopies — researchers report in ACS Sensors that they’ve developed a sensor made of tiny microspheres packed with blood-sensing bacteria that detect markers of gastrointestinal ...

Tiny sensors, similar to breathalyzers, could “sniff out” bacterial infections and detect antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in bodily fluids, says a team of engineers, microbiologists, and machine ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are turning everyday infections into serious health threats, and researchers at Empa are stepping up with a solution: smart sensors that can quickly detect resistant ...

Microspheres that sense gastrointestinal disease are suspended in solution (left), then attracted to the side of a test tube by a magnet (right) so researchers can easily retrieve them from biological ...
