Digital Detection of DNA via Impedimetric Tracking of Probe Nanoparticles

Researchers developed a new technology using tiny electronic sensors to detect DNA molecules in very small amounts. The system uses strand displacement chemistry combined with nanoparticles that generate electrical signals when DNA binding occurs. This approach could enable simple, portable, and cost-effective diagnostic devices for detecting genetic markers and diseases at extremely low concentrations.

Universal Platform Based on Carbon Nanotubes Functionalised with Carboxylic Acid Groups for Multi-Analyte Enzymatic Biosensing

Scientists have created a tiny biosensor platform using carbon nanotubes that can detect multiple important molecules in blood and food simultaneously. The sensor uses special enzymes that recognize glucose, lactate, glutamate, and dopamine, making it useful for monitoring diabetes, fatigue levels, and brain chemistry. By adding another enzyme called catalase, the sensor works even better and across a wider range of concentrations. Tests on real blood and food samples show the sensor accurately measures these important biomarkers, making it potentially valuable for both health monitoring and food quality testing.

Current Approaches to Aflatoxin B1 Control in Food and Feed Safety: Detection, Inhibition, and Mitigation

Aflatoxins are poisonous substances made by certain molds that contaminate about a quarter of the world’s food supply and are known carcinogens. This review examines the latest methods for detecting these toxins (from simple lab tests to advanced smartphone-powered devices) and ways to remove or prevent them, including using beneficial bacteria and special plasma treatment. The research shows that combining multiple approaches—detection technology with biological solutions—works best for keeping our food and animal feed safe from these dangerous contaminants.
