A comet assay is a trusted and widely used method for assessing DNA damage in individual eukaryotic cells. However, it is time-consuming and requires extensive monitoring and sample manipulation by the user. This limits the throughput of the assay, increases the risk of errors, and contributes to intra- and inter-laboratory variability.

- The study investigates how atmospheric plasma treatment impacts the size and optical properties of silver (Ag) nanoparticles, finding that the mean diameter decreases to approximately 5 nm after treatment.
- The process leads to a significant blue shift in the surface plasmon resonance and notable changes in surface charge, as indicated by shifts in zeta potential from +25.1 mV to -25.9 mV.
- Results demonstrate that cold-plasma treatment enhances the optical properties of Ag nanoparticles, suggesting its potential for improving biosensing applications.
Technological evolution in wearable sensors accounts for major growth and transformation in a multitude of industries, ranging from healthcare to computing and informatics to communication and biomedical sciences. The major driver for this transformation is the new-found ability to continuously monitor and analyze the patients' physiology in patients' natural setting. Numerous wearable sensors are already on the market and are summarized.
