Adopting Nanoplasmonic Materials for Real-Time Monitoring of Processes in Living Cells

On Professor Amy Shen’s desk is a small rectangular pink glass, approximately the size of a postage stamp. Although it looks simple from outside, the small glass slide has the ability to entirely transform a broad array of processes, such as diagnosing diseases and monitoring food quality.

Bioelectronic ‘Nose’ Detects Spoilt Food by Sensing Decay Compound

Strong odors indicate that a certain food has gone bad; however soon there may be a new way to smell foul odors earlier on. Researchers have built a bioelectronic “nose” that can exactly detect a main decay compound at low levels, enabling people to potentially do something about it before the smell spreads.
