Monkeypox is a growing current health concern, with a potentially fatal variant of human mpox spreading across certain African countries, and a different non-lethal variant also now being observed ...

Porous silicon (PSi) has emerged as a highly versatile material for biosensing and optical applications, owing to its high internal surface area, tunable pore sizes and exceptional optical properties.

Jun 26, 2025 Scientists build first self-illuminating biosensor Engineers have harnessed quantum physics to detect the presence of biomolecules without the need for an external light source, ...

A new variant of human mpox has claimed the lives of approximately 5% of people with reported infections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2023, many of them children. Since then, it has ...

Illustration of the self-illuminating biosensor: A metasurface of gold nanowires drives quantum light emission and concentrates the resulting light waves to detect biomolecules. Optical biosensors use ...
