Abstract
Diffusion limitations and nonspecific surface absorption are great challenges for developing micro-/nanoscale affinity biosensors. There are very limited approaches that can solve these issues at the same time. Here, an acoustic streaming approach enabled by a gigahertz (GHz) resonator is presented to promote mass transfer of analytes through the jet mode and biofouling removal through the shear mode, which can be switched by tuning the deviation angle, α, between the resonator and the sensor. Simulations show that the jet mode (α ≤ 0) drives the analytes in the fluid toward the sensing surface, overcomes the diffusion limitation, and enhances the binding; while the shear mode (0 < α < π/4) provides a scouring action to remove the biofouling from the sensor. Experimental studies were performed by integrating this GHz resonator with optoelectronic sensing systems, where a 34-fold enhancement for the initial binding rate was obtained. Featuring high efficiency, controllability, and versatility, we believe that this GHz acoustic streaming approach holds promise for many kinds of biosensing systems as well as lab-on-chip systems.

Abstract
Viral particles bind to receptors through multivalent protein interactions. Such high avidity interactions on sensor surfaces are less studied. In this work, three polyelectrolytes that can form biosensing surfaces with different interfacial characteristics in probe density and spatial arrangement were designed. Quartz crystal microbalance, interferometry and atomic force microscopy were used to study their surface density and binding behaviors with proteins and virus particles. A multivalent adsorption kinetic model was developed to estimate the number of bonds from the viral particles bound to the polyelectrolyte surfaces. Experimental results show that the heterogeneous 3D surface with jagged forest-like structure enhances the virus capture ability by maximizing the multivalent interactions. As a proof of concept, specific coronavirus detection was achieved in spiked swab samples. These results indicate the importance of both probe density and their spatial arrangement on the sensing performance, which could be used as a guideline for rational biosensing surface design.

Abstract
Effective and arbitrary manipulation of particles in liquid has attracted substantial interest. Acoustic tweezers, a new and promising tool, exhibit high biocompatibility, universality, and precision but lack arbitrariness. In this work, we report a gigahertz (GHz) bulk acoustic streaming tweezer (AST)-based micro-manipulation platform capable of efficiently translating acoustic energy to fluid kinetic energy, creating a controllable, quick-response, and stable flow field and precisely, arbitrarily, and universally manipulating a single particle to move like a microrobot. Through controlling the radio frequency signals applied on these resonators, the intensity and direction of the acoustic streaming flow can be quickly and arbitrarily adjusted. Consequently, the particle dispersed at the bottom can be arbitrarily and steadily driven along the predesigned route to the target position by the acoustic streaming drag force (ASF). We utilized four resonators cooperated as a work group to manipulate single SiO2 particles to complete nearly uniform linear motions and U-shaped motions, as well as playing billiards and exploring a maze, demonstrating the enormous potential of this GHz AST-based single-particle manipulation platform for separation, assembly, sensing, enriching, transporting, and so forth.

Abstract
Here, we present a high performance uncooled near-infrared (NIR) detector comprising of a giga hertz (GHz) solidly mounted resonator (SMR) and gold nanorods (GNRs) arrays. By coupling the localized surface plasmon resonances of GNRs, the resonator system exhibits optimized optical response to vis-NIR region. Both simulation and experiments demonstrate the hybrid GNRs-SMR exhibit significantly enhanced optical responsive sensitivity of NIR, the tunable aspect ratios (AR) of GNRs enable resonator respond sensitively to selected light. Specially, taking advantage of the acoustofluidic effect of SMR, the GNRs can be controllably and precisely modified on the microchip surface in an ultra-short time, which addresses one of the most fundamental challenges in the localized functionalization of micro/nano scale surface. The presented work opens new directions in development of novel miniaturized, tunable NIR detector.

Abstract
In this report, a solidly mounted resonator (SMR), consisting of an Au electrode, Mg-doped ZnO (MgXZn1−XO) piezoelectric film and Bragg acoustic reflector, was fabricated on a Si substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. As a key processing step for the SMR, MgXZn1−XO films with high c-axis orientation were fabricated and the crystalline structure, surface morphology and roughness of the films were investigated. The surface morphology, optical transmittance and shape control of MgXZn1−XO films were investigated by the chemical wet-etching method with various etchants. The profiles and line patterns of MgXZn1−XO films etched with FeCl3·6H2O solutions are satisfactory and fully meet the industrial requirements. The Bragg acoustic reflector, made entirely of metal, has small internal stress and good heat conduction. An SMR based on a MgXZn1−XO piezoelectric film shows a resonant frequency of 2.402 GHz, and the keff2, QS and QP of the SMR are 3.07%, 415 and 546, respectively. In this report, a solidly mounted resonator (SMR), consisting of an Au electrode, Mg-doped ZnO (MgXZn1−XO) piezoelectric film and Bragg acoustic reflector, was fabricated on a Si substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering.![]()

Abstract
We report the fabrication of a solidly mounted resonator (SMR) that can also function as a sensor for biological molecules. The SMR, consisting of a Au electrode, aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric thin film and Bragg acoustic reflector, was fabricated on a Si substrate by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The Bragg acoustic reflector, made entirely of metal, has small internal stress and good heat conduction. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody was immobilized on the modified (by self-assembled monolayer method) Au electrode surface of the SMR and goat anti-human IgG antigen was captured through the specificity of bond between the antibody and antigen on the electrode surface. We found a linear relationship between the resonant frequency shift and the concentration of goat anti-human IgG antigen for concentrations smaller than 0.4 mg ml−1 and a relatively constant frequency shift for concentrations greater than 0.5 mg ml−1. A series of interference experiments can prove that the selectivity of the sensor is satisfactory. Our findings suggest that the SMR sensor is an attractive alternative for biomolecule detection. We report the fabrication of a solidly mounted resonator (SMR) that can also function as a sensor for biological molecules.![]()
