Abstract
The sensitive materials of current gas sensors are fabricated on planar substrates, significantly limiting the quantity of sensitive material available on the sensor and the complete exposure of the sensitive material to the target gas. In this work, we harnessed the finest, resilient, naturally degradable, and low-cost lotus silk derived from plant fibers, to fabricate a high-performance bio-sensor for toxic and harmful gas detection, employing peptides with full surface connectivity. The proposed approach to fabricate gas sensors eliminated the need for substrates and electrodes. To ascertain the effectiveness and versatility of the sensors created via this method, sensors for three distinct representative gases (isoamyl alcohol, 4-vinylanisole, and benzene) were prepared and characterized. These sensors surpassed reported detection limits by at least one order of magnitude. The inherent pliancy of lotus silk imparts adaptability to the sensor architecture, facilitating the realization of 1D, 2D, or 3D configurations, all while upholding consistent performance characteristics. This innovative sensor paradigm, grounded in lotus silk, represents great potential toward the advancement of highly proficient bio gas sensors and associated applications.

[PMID: 37447995 DOI: 10.3390/s23136147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
We investigate the MEMS resonant cantilevers for high-performance thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of chemical decomposition, featuring high accuracy and minimized thermal lag. Each resonant cantilever is integrated with a microheater for sample heating near the free end, which is thermally isolated from the resonance excitation and readout elements at the fixed end. Combining finite element modeling and experiments, we demonstrate that the sample loading region can stabilize within ~11.2 milliseconds in response to a step heating of 500 °C, suggesting a very fast thermal response of the MEMS resonant cantilevers of more than 104 °C/s. Benefiting from such a fast thermal response, we perform high-performance TG measurements on basic copper carbonate (Cu2(OH)2CO3) and calcium oxalate monohydrate (CaC2O4·H2O). The measured weight losses better agree with the theoretical values with 5-10 times smaller thermal lags at the same heating rate, compared with those measured by using conventional TGA. The MEMS resonant cantilevers hold promise for highly accurate and efficient TG characterization of materials in various fields.

Abstract
Graphene remains of great interest in biomedical applications because of biocompatibility. Diseases relating to human senses interfere with life satisfaction and happiness. Therefore, the restoration by artificial organs or sensory devices may bring a bright future by the recovery of senses in patients. In this review, we update the most recent progress in graphene based sensors for mimicking human senses such as artificial retina for image sensors, artificial eardrums, gas sensors, chemical sensors, and tactile sensors. The brain-like processors are discussed based on conventional transistors as well as memristor related neuromorphic computing. The brain-machine interface is introduced for providing a single pathway. Besides, the artificial muscles based on graphene are summarized in the means of actuators in order to react to the physical world. Future opportunities remain for elevating the performances of human-like sensors and their clinical applications.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN)-γ is a cytokine secreted by immune cells. The elevated levels of IFN-γ are an early indicator of multiple diseases such as tuberculosis and autoimmune diseases. This short review focuses on different sensing methods based on optical, electrochemical, and mechanical principles. We explain how specific biorecognition molecules such as antibodies and aptamers are employed in the sensing methods. We also compare different surface functionalization methods and their details. Although the review gives an overview of only IFN-γ sensing, the same strategies can be applied to sensing other analytes with appropriate modifications.

Inkjet-Printed Functionalization of CMUT-Based CO 2 Sensors. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22062288.

Abstract
The trade-off between the functionalization shift of the informative parameters and sensitivity of capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUT)-based CO2 sensors is addressed, and the CMUT surface modification process by thin inkjet-printed polyethyleneimine (PEI) films is optimized. It was shown that by the proper preparation of the active CMUT surface and properly diluted PEI solution, it is possible to minimize the functionalization shift of the resonance frequency and the quality of the resonance and preserve the sensitivity potential. So, after optimization, we demonstrated 23.2 kHz frequency shift readings of the sensor with 16 MHz nominal frequency while in the gas chamber and switching between pure N2 and CO2. After testing the sensors with different PEI film thickness, it was confirmed that a 200 nm average thickness of a PEI film is an optimum, because this is the practical limit of CO2 absorption depth at given conditions. Additionally, we note that modification of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties of the CMUT surface allows changing the nanoscale surface roughness of the printed PEI film and controlling the area resolution of the inkjet functionalization by reducing the diameter of a single dot down to 150 μm by a commercially available printer cartridge.

Abstract
Controlling environmental pollution is a burning problem for all countries more than ever. Currently, due to the increasing industrialization, the number of days when the limits of air pollutants are over the threshold levels exceeds 80-85% of the year. Therefore, cheap and effective sensors are always welcome. One idea is to combine such solutions with cars and provide real-time information about the current pollution level. However, the environmental conditions are demanding, and thus the developed sensors need to be characterized by the high 3S parameters: sensitivity, stability and selectivity. In this paper, we present the results on the heterostructure of CuO/SnOx and SnOx/CuO as a possible approach for selective NO2 detection. The developed gas sensors exhibited lower operating temperature and high response in the wide range of NO2 and in a wide range of relative humidity changes. Material characterizations and impedance spectroscopy measurements were also conducted to analyze the chemical and electrical behavior.
