Crumpled graphene makes ultra-sensitive cancer DNA detector

Tuesday, March 24, 2020 - 09:40 in Physics & Chemistry

Graphene-based biosensors could usher in an era of liquid biopsy, detecting DNA cancer markers circulating in a patient’s blood or serum. But current designs need a lot of DNA. In a new study, crumpling graphene makes it more than ten thousand times more sensitive to DNA by creating electrical “hot spots,” researchers at the University […]
