Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein utilized RNA targeting effectors to provide a robust CRISPR-based diagnostic with attomolar sensitivity. Embodiments disclosed herein can detect both DNA and RNA with comparable levels of sensitivity and can differentiate targets from non-targets based on single base pair differences. Moreover, the embodiments disclosed herein can be prepared in freeze-dried format for convenient distribution and point-of-care (POC) applications. Such embodiments are useful in multiple scenarios in human health including, for example, viral detection, bacterial strain typing, sensitive genotyping, and detection of disease-associated cell free DNA.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to certain lithium materials, including lithium manganese borate materials. Such materials are of interest in various applications such as energy storage. Certain aspects of the invention are directed to lithium manganese borate materials, for example, having the formula LixMny(BO3). In some cases, the lithium manganese borate materials may include other elements, such as iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, calcium, etc. The lithium manganese borate materials, according to one set of embodiments, may be present as a monoclinic crystal system. Such materials may surprisingly exhibit relatively high energy storage capacities, for example, at least about 96 mA h/g. Other aspects of the invention relate to devices comprising such materials, methods of making such materials, kits for making such materials, methods of promoting the making or use of such materials, and the like.

Abstract: An electromagnetic field sensor or generator employing a radio frequency microstrip transmission channel formed by a low-loss dielectric substrate sandwiched between a non-resonant microstrip conductor. A discontinuity in said microstrip conductor that substantially alters its cross-sectional dimensions causes electrical signals in the microstrip conductor to be inductively coupled to near field electromagnetic radiation in the vicinity of the discontinuity. The discontinuity may be defined by one or more holes, slots, slits or stubs in the microstrip. The sensor/generator may be used in numerous applications, including NMR spectrometry, as a near field scanning device to inspect operating integrated circuits, or to read or write data on magnetic materials.
