Abstract: The present invention discloses a sensor based on a field effect transistor (FET) with nano-tapes of a carbon-based material, especially graphene (GNR), a semiconductor joint, electrodes and a base gate composed of a carbon-based metallic material for the detection and measurement of low concentrations (nM-pM) of metabolites (biomarkers) in living organisms. The device features a unique nano-tape configuration of a carbon-based material, especially armchair-type graphene (GNR) (Armchair) in the semiconductor gasket and electrodes, which favors the manufacture of high-density nanosensor arrangements. The device features bifunctional ligaments based on pyrene compounds bound to the semiconductor joint and covalently the target analyte, generating the mechanical, chemical and electronic stability of the detected signal.

Abstract: This invention shows a system and method for phenotype characterization of agricultural crops, comprising at least one support device which can be reconfigured in an autonomous or controlled remote manner. It includes a central embedded microcontroller connected to atmospheric sensors located in the upper body, a microcontroller connected to a multi-spectral camera located at the distal end of the arm. The central microcontroller is connected to a base microcontroller that receives signals from soil sensors. A solar panel provides the energy source to a regulating unit that powers the microcontrollers. The system contains a communication unit that includes a router wirelessly connected to Internet.

Abstract: A detector apparatus includes a field-effect transistor configured to undergo a change in amplitude of a source-to-drain current when at least a portion of a charge-tagged molecule translocates through the nanopore. In some implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is located in a membrane. In other implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is implemented in the form of a nano-channel in a semiconductor layer.

Abstract: By driving molecules electrophoretically through a nanopore, single molecule detection can be achieved. To enhance translocational control, functionalized and non-functionalized electrodes are strategically placed around or above a nanopore. Changes in transmission spectra and input voltage detected by electrodes allow accurate identification of single molecules as they pass through a nanopore.
