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 ...

Scientists at the University of Bath, (UK), working in collaboration with industrial partner, Integrated Graphene, have created a new type of chemosensor (demonstrated for lactic acid sensing) which ...

A living biosensor composed of bacteria that lights up when it detects acetic acid, which is the primary chemical indicator ...

Three cheap hygroscopic salt solutions on carbon nanotube sensors distinguish nine toxic gases, including warfare agents, without engineered receptor molecules.

When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or have to react to other external stimuli, the first thing they do is increase the proton and calcium concentration in the affected ...

Scientists at Bath, have introduced a breakthrough carbon-based sensor for detecting lactic acid levels in saliva—avoiding the need for an electrical power source. The researchers, working in ...
