AI-nanopore platform can detect SARS-CoV-2 variants with high accuracy

A rapid, accurate way of testing for COVID-19 infection can be a giant step in overcoming the virus’ hold over our society. Now, in an article published in Lab on a Chip, Japanese researchers have developed a promising solution: a novel platform that couples nanopore technology with artificial intelligence. What’s a nanopore? A nanopore is […]

Origami-inspired strain sensors could help detect diseases

Origami-inspired strain sensors could help detect diseases

Researchers on the USC Viterbi School of Engineering looked to origami to create latest sensors that would someday be employed to detect deformations in organs and in addition to be used in wearables and soft robotics. Their paper, “High-Stretchability and Low-Hysteresis Strain Sensors Using Origami-Inspired 3D Mesostructures,” featured in Science Advances explains how USC researchers […]
