Overview

The primary aim of the Center for Bioelectronics and Biosensors is to create powerful bioassays for point-of-care diagnostics and a variety of advanced handheld, environmental field microanalyzers. By interfacing three advanced technologies — nanomaterials, biomaterials and electronic transducers — we have the ability to create enhanced biosensors and nanobioelectronics. Sensors provide real-time, on-site detection and often eliminate the need for sample collection, preparation and laboratory analysis. These new devices must be small, robust, fast, and low power to deliver the analytical information in a simple and inexpensive manner. Read More »

'Boosting' research to develop world's fastest nanomotor

In a “major step” toward a practical energy source for powering tomorrow’s nanomachines, researchers at Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute report the development of a new generation of tiny nanomotors that are up to 10 times more powerful than existing motors. Just like weekend hot-rodders who tinker with their car engines in the ultimate quest for speed, a research team led by Joseph Wang, who directs the institute’s Center for Biosensors and Bioelectronics, set out to improve on the design of current nanomotors.
