Abstract: A biosensing device and methods for detecting the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence in a biological fluid. The device includes an interdigitated electrode, a supporting flexible membrane and an electrode material that is disposed on the interdigitated electrode and supporting flexible membrane. The electrode material is selected from (i) two-dimensional and layered MXenes and (2) printable graphene, wherein the electrode material is functionalized with ssDNA primers specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequence to be detected. The device also includes a sensor that reads an electrical resistance change across the interdigitated electrode after a target DNA sequence is applied to the electrode material.

Abstract: Methods of producing bioresorbable porous biocomposites for orthopaedic applications are provided. In an exemplary embodiment of a resorbable orthopaedic implant of the present disclosure, the implant comprises a porous alloy of at least a first metal and a second metal sintered together, the alloy configured to resorb into a body at substantially an atomic level without flaking off, wherein a porosity of the implant is defined by a first plurality of interconnected holes having a first range of sizes.
