The authors describe a field effect transistor (FET) based immunoassay for the detection of inactivated ebola virus (EBOV). An equine antibody against the EBOV glycoprotein was immobilized on the surface of the FET that was previously modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The antibody against EBOV was immobilized on the modified FET, and the response to EBOV was measured as a function of the shift of Dirac voltage. The method can detect the EBOV over the concentration range from 2.4 × 10 g·mL to 1.2 × 10 g·mL and with a limit of detection as low as 2.4 pg·mL. The assay has satisfactory specificity and was applied to the quantitation of inactivated EBOV in spiked serum. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the field effect transistor (FET) modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for Ebola Virus (EBOV) detection. Specific binding between EBOV and the anti-EBOV antibody (Ab) on the FET device leads to obvious current change.

Nanofluidic iontronics, including the field-effect ionic diode (FE-ID) and field-effect ionic transistor (FE-IT), represent emerging nanofluidic logic devices that have been employed in sensitive analyses. Making analyte recognitions in predefined nanofluidic devices has been verified to improve the sensitivity and selectivity using a single ionic signal, such as ionic current amplification, rectification, and Coulomb blockade. However, the detection of analytes in complex systems generally necessitates more diverse signals beyond just ionic currents.

Van der Waals (vdW) dielectrics are extensively employed to enhance the performance of 2D electronic devices. However, current vdW dielectric materials still encounter challenges such as low dielectric constant (κ) and difficulties in synthesizing high-quality single crystals. 2D rare-earth oxyhalides (REOXs) with exceptional electrical properties present an opportunity for the exploration of novel high-κ dielectrics.

Silicon carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are a future trend in traction inverters in electric vehicles (EVs), and their thermal safety is crucial. Temperature-sensitive electrical parameters' (TSEPs) indirect detection normally requires additional circuits, which can interfere with the system and increase costs, thereby limiting applications. Therefore, there is still a lack of cost-effective and sensorless thermal monitoring techniques.

Borehole strainmeters are essential tools for observing crustal deformation. In long-term observational applications, the dynamic changes in crustal deformation over multi-year scales often exceed the single measurement range of borehole strainmeters. Expanding the measurement range while maintaining high precision is a critical technical challenge.

The increasing demand for advanced transparent and flexible display technologies has led to significant research in thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high mobility, transparency, and mechanical robustness. In this study, we fabricated all-transparent TFTs (AT-TFTs) utilizing amorphous indium-zinc-tin-oxide (a-IZTO) as a dual-functional material for both the channel layer and transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). The a-IZTO was deposited using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering, with its composition adjusted for both channel and electrode functionality.
