  • SENSORS FOR ANALYTE DETECTION
    Publication number: 20160077047
    Abstract: The disclosure provides devices and methods for chemical sensing that are capable of achieving compact, fast chemical sensing with high sensitivity and specificity. Devices of the disclosure generally comprise a plurality of sensors arranged in at least one array. Each sensor of a device may be addressable and capable of generating a response when in contact with a given chemical. Such a device may be used to execute sensing methods that may be useful in a range of applications.

  • HYBRID SENSOR ARRAY
    Publication number: 20150268208
    Abstract: The present invention provides devices, methods and systems to selectively detect the binding of a molecular species to a biomolecule. In its olfactory sensing application, the hybrid sensor arrays of the present invention provide a high dimensional signature of odorants present that is also readily reversible, together enabling the identification and localization of a source analyte in the presence of the background odorant landscape inherent in a real-world setting.

  • ATOMICALLY PRECISE NANORIBBONS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20120034707
    Abstract: Disclosed are atomically precise nanoribbons formed by gradient-driven catalytic etching of crystalline substrates to produce edges formed along specific crystallographic axes by thermally-activated particles. Also provided are related methods for fabrication of these nanoribbon structures. Further provided are devices and related methods for power generation and for detection of specific targets using the disclosed structures.
