We have developed a field effect transistor (FET) sensor to sensitively detect copper ions (Cu(2+)) in a human serum (HS) sample for promising health-care diagnosis. By utilizing a Cu(2+)-binding prion protein that was immobilized on the FET gate surface, such an FET sensor can provide a simple, label free and highly selective performance, even in HS samples. We demonstrated the sensitivity of the sensor at the nanomolar level, 0-100 nM, which is very useful for the detection range of Cu(2+) deficiency in practical applications.

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.

Background: Sarcopenia, which is associated with many pathways and molecular mechanisms, not only deteriorates the quality of life in old age but is also linked to various diseases. The ratio between cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) was utilized as a candidate method to diagnose sarcopenia. The hormones can fluctuate in concentration throughout the day, so monitoring the ratio between the two hormones is necessary.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted significant attention owing to their simple manufacturing process and unique optoelectronic properties. Their reversible electrical or optical property changes in response to oxidizing or reducing environments make them prospective materials for gas detection technologies. Despite advancements in perovskite-based sensor research, the mechanisms behind perovskite-gas interactions, vital for sensor performance, are still inconclusive.

Flexibility has been a key selling point in the development of carbon-based electronics and sensors with the promise of further development into wearable devices. Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) lend themselves well to applications requiring flexibility while achieving high-performance. Our previous work has demonstrated a tri-layer polymer dielectric composed of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(vinyl alcohol) with cellulose nanocrystals (PVAc), and toluene diisocyanate-terminated poly(caprolactone) (TPCL), yielding an environmentally benign and solution-processable n-type thin-film transistor (TFT).

Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors have significantly attracted interest across various disciplines because of their high sensitivity, time-saving, and label-free characteristics. However, it remains a grand challenge to interface the FET biosensor with complex liquid media. Unlike standard liquid electrolytes containing purified protein content, directly exposing FET biosensors to complex biological fluids introduces significant sensing noise, which is caused by the abundance of nonspecific proteins, viruses, and bacteria that adsorb to the biosensor surfaces.
