Visual acuity is by far the most important diagnostic eye test. It determines whether one's vision is normal or reduced, and if so, by how much. In contrast to its importance, visual acuity is currently determined by a manual test which has hardly changed in the past century. Perhaps the only ...

Summary A sensor for DNA hybridization can sense double-stranded DNA according to the intrinsic interface magnetism of organic molecules, which can be adsorbed on metals, carbon surfaces etc., and is temperature independent. This same technology may be applied as a spin filter for electron ...

The most common cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness is age related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is characterized by two stages. In the early (dry) stage the center of the retina (macula) undergoes a slowly progressing degenerative process which usually does not affect visual acuity. ...

Summary Bladder cancer is a common malignancy; it is the 4th most common cancer in males and the 9th in females. The presenting symptom is usually blood in the urine, and diagnosis is currently based on cystoscopy, which is invasive, costly, painful and time consuming. To date, no biomarker has ...

Summary A biosensor composed of a lipid bilayer onto which ion channels are doped can be used to measure ion flow. Upon interaction with the affector molecule, the ion channel components form a pore, through which ions may flow and be measured by the sensing electrode.Applications Diagnostics and ...
