Published: December 2012

We report a new possible application of hydrogen-terminated silicon nanowires (H-SiNWs) as a rechargeable template for hydride transfer in redox biocatalysis. H-SiNWs transfer hydride efficiently to regenerate NADH by oxidizing Si-H(x) bonds. The oxidized H-SiNWs were readily recharged for the continuous regeneration of NADH and enzymatic reactions.

Impedance-based biosensing has emerged as a critical technology for high-sensitivity biomolecular detection, yet traditional approaches often rely on bulky, costly impedance analyzers, limiting their portability and usability in point-of-care applications. Addressing these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced biosensing system integrating a Silicon Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor (SiNW-FET) biosensor with a high-gain amplification circuit and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) implemented on FPGA hardware. This attempt combines SiNW-FET biosensing technology with FPGA-implemented deep learning noise reduction, creating a compact system capable of real-time viral detection with minimal computational latency.

The development of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) sensors based on silicon nanowires (SiNW) has recently seen significant progress, due to their many advantages such as compact size, low cost, robustness and real-time portability. However, little work has been done to predict the performance of SiNW-ISFET sensors. The present study focuses on predicting the performance of the silicon nanowire (SiNW)-based ISFET sensor using four machine learning techniques, namely multilayer perceptron (MLP), nonlinear regression (NLR), support vector regression (SVR) and extra tree regression (ETR).

We fabricated flexible, three-dimensional (3D) ordered silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays decorated with high-density silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the sensitive and reproducible detection of pesticide residues. These sensors demonstrated a detection limit of 10 M for methyl parathion (MPT) on curved surfaces.

Conventional wearable flexible sensing systems typically comprise three components: a flexible substrate that contacts the skin, a signal processing module, and a signal output module. These components function relatively independently, resulting in a complex system that lacks sufficient integration. Therefore, developing an integrated wearable flexible sensing system by combining the flexible substrate, the signal processing module, and the signal output module not only enhances performance and comfort, but also reduces manufacturing costs and the risk of failure.

Hydrogen Production and Li-Ion Battery Performance with MoS-SiNWs-SWNTs@ZnONPs Nanocomposites.

This study explores the hydrogen generation potential via water-splitting reactions under UV-vis radiation by using a synergistic assembly of ZnO nanoparticles integrated with MoS, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), and crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs) to create the MoS-SiNWs-SWNTs@ZnONPs nanocomposites. A comparative analysis of MoS synthesized through chemical and physical exfoliation methods revealed that the chemically exfoliated MoS exhibited superior performance, thereby being selected for all subsequent measurements. The nanostructured materials demonstrated exceptional surface characteristics, with specific surface areas exceeding 300 m g.
