Photothermal disinfection of N95 respirators

— Technology Description

A team of researchers led by Young-Shin Jun have developed a polymer coating for N95 respirators that would permit fast, easy, and cheap N95 disinfection using only direct sunlight. The researchers coated the outermost fabric layer in polydopamine, which converts photon energ…

Artificial antibody platform to eliminate cold-chain in label-free plasmonic biosensor detection for diagnostics and research

— Technology Description

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Washington University have developed a patented plasmonic nanotransducer system with built-in, highly stable artificial antibodies that can quickly detect and quantify biological molecules. These artificial antibodies can be rapidl…

Bio-robotic “artificial nose” system for detecting explosives and other chemicals

— Technology Description

Prof. Barani Raman and colleagues have developed a robust, insect-based, non-invasive sensing system to detect explosives or other chemicals. This “artificial nose” technology includes methods to decode neural signals from the insect’s olfactory system and …
