Rapid and reliable virus detection is one of the most critical tools for controlling outbreaks, from seasonal influenza to ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team consisting of Professor Kyoung-Duck Park and Taeyoung Moon and Huitae Joo, PhD candidates, from the Department of Physics at Pohang University of Science and Technology ...

Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (also known as bird flu) have created a need for rapid and sensitive detection methods to mitigate its spread. Now, researchers in ACS Sensors ...

The outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza virus in the US is now 1 year old. The virus, commonly known as bird flu, has wrought havoc in the agricultural sector and prompted a dramatic increase in the ...

Over the past two decades, several novel coronaviruses have emerged throughout the world, causing a spike in reported cases and associated deaths in several nations. These viruses include the severe ...

An experimental flu test could detect the virus right on the tip of your tongue. Researchers in Germany have potentially discovered a new way to spot influenza through an edible test, potentially like ...

Face masks — the unofficial symbol of the COVID-19 pandemic — are leveling up. A mask outfitted with special electronics can detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and other airborne ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a sensor that can rapidly detect a virus in a sample. It can also identify whether the viral particles are still infectious.

Researchers found it's possible to design a sensor, based on quantum physics, that could detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The approach may offer faster, cheaper, and more accurate detection of Covid-19, ...

Some types of RNA viruses cloak themselves to hide inside a cell and create copies of themselves. But an enzyme that acts as a virus sensor might be attuned to their whereabouts. A slight variation in ...
