In this work, a single-layered graphene (SLG)/Au-nanoparticles (NPs)-based Love wave biosensor was prepared for detection of () gene sequences. The annealing process was proposed to obtain a larger-area interface with ssDNA. The sensitivity was verified by detecting gene sequences with a linear detection ranging from 0 to 10 nmol/L, where the limit of detection (LOD) was only 12.4 pg/mL. The stable state of the biosensors based on SLG/Au NPs in the liquid phase could be kept for more than 0.5 h (±0.1°), and the specificity was verified by detecting noncomplementary ssDNA and one- and three-base mismatched ssDNA. The results of our study suggest that a Love wave biosensor based on SLG/Au NPs hold great potential in clinical testing and diagnosis.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a well-established tumour marker for prostatic carcinoma. In this study, we present a novel, real-time, and ultrasensitive Love-mode surface acoustic wave (L-SAW) immunosensor for PSA detection enhanced by MoS@CuO-Au nanocomposite conjugation. The MoS@CuO-Au nanocomposites were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and EDS.

SAW sensors with different piezoelectric materials and high-frequency SAW sensors used for identifying the food pathogenic bacteria () are discussed together with the examples of methods based on such sensing technology that have been effectively utilized in diagnostics and epidemiological research. This review also emphasizes some of the limitations of using these biosensors, which have prompted the increased need for more rapid, sensitive, selective, portable, power-efficient, and low-cost methods for detecting these pathogens.

The Spaceborne Global Lightning Location Network (SGLLN) serves the purpose of identifying transient lightning events occurring beneath the ionosphere, playing a significant role in detecting and warning of disaster weather events. To ensure the effective functioning of the wideband electromagnetic pulse detector, which is a crucial component of the SGLLN, it must be tested and verified with specific signals. However, the inherent randomness and unpredictability of lightning occurrences pose challenges to this requirement.

Love-mode surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors show great promise for biodetection applications owing to their low cost, digital output, and wireless passive capability, but their performance is often restricted by the availability of suitable sensitive membrane layers. Herein, a composite layer of electrospun fibers made from cellulose acetate and polyethylenimine, coated with gold nanoparticles, is proposed as a porous and sensitive membrane coated onto a love-mode SAW biosensor for monitoring gene sequences of . The results showed that the developed sensor exhibited an impressive sensitivity of 122.
