In the field of biomolecular analysis and diagnostics, the detection of proteins plays a critical role. Typically, conventional immunosensing assays rely on surface-capture of target molecules, which can limit specificity, sensitivity, and the ability to provide information beyond simple concentration measurements. In this week's research...
Bacteria have a crucial survival strategy of motility which helps them navigate in porous environments. These environments are essential for biogeochemical processes in quiescent wetlands and sediments. However, the understanding of self-transport mechanisms in confined interstices of porous media is limited. In this week's research...
