Taming Staphylococcus aureus in the eczema skin microbiome
Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, is a skin condition that affects millions of people globally. The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus – a common and normally harmless member of the skin microbiome that can turn nasty in certain circumstances – has been linked to this condition. A team at the University of Michigan, USA, led by Drs Gabriel Núñez and Seitaro […]

Bacterial detection: A self-powered biosensing system driven by triboelectric nanogenerator
Preparation of the self-powered biosensing system driven by a triboelectric nanogenerator The self-powered biosensing system constitutes three parts: the biosensing system, the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), and the warning programme. Firstly, the biosensing system comprises the vancomycin modified indium tin oxide glass (ITO-Van), and guanidine functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT-Arg). The ITO glass has an etched conductive layer area, which is […]
