DNA detection using a radio frequency biosensor with gold nanoparticles.

This study presents a novel method for DNA detection with multi-layer AuNPs to enhance overall detection sensitivity. This essay achieves not only an innovative radio-frequency biosensor but also a critical signal amplification methodology. Results show that bandwidth change for multi-layer AuNP with hybridization of DNA exceeds that for the double-layer AuNP up to 0.

A flexible surface wetness sensor using a RFID technique.

This paper presents a flexible wetness sensor whose detection signal, converted to a binary code, is transmitted through radio-frequency (RF) waves from a radio-frequency identification integrated circuit (RFID IC) to a remote reader. The flexible sensor, with a fixed operating frequency of 13.56 MHz, contains a RFID IC and a sensor circuit that is fabricated on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) using a Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) process.
