Melting a bacteriophage’s coat of proteins turns it into a tiny power plant, which could fire up the discovery of new bioengineered devices.

Engineered bacteria sound the alarm on a common oncogenic mutation.

Brought together by a shared interest in synthetic biology and diagnostics, two researchers are transforming how we label biomolecules.

Get up to date on the next generation of rapid, point-of-care diagnostics. 

Researchers have updated a method to look at biochemical activities inside living cells.

The micro-bio-electronic device combines bacteria that can detect certain molecules along with wifi-connected electrical outputs.

The sensor is meant to trigger a bitter taste in the presence of inflammation-related enzymes. 

Using freeze-dried E. coli and disposable electrodes, scientists engineer a sensor that can quickly detect EDCs. 

Engineered circuits detect endogenous transcription factors to drive cellular outputs.

Sensors made from biodegrading materials may soon provide a safe, cost-effective alternative to current technology, a study shows.

New approaches to diagnosing bacterial infections may one day allow the identification of pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility in a matter of hours or minutes.

Researchers are using DNA to compute, power, and sense.

Researchers show that nanowire-based biosensors can collect and detect proteins in one chip.
