The importance of surface chemistry in mesoporous materials: lessons from porous silicon biosensors.

The ease of fabricating high quality photonic crystals from porous silicon and its biocompatibility have inspired the conception of various biosensing schemes using this material. However, the instability of porous silicon has significantly slowed progress in this area. Here we discuss the potential of different porous silicon photonic crystals for biosensing in the context of its surface chemi...

Importance of controlling nanotube density for highly sensitive and reliable biosensors functional in physiological conditions.

Biosensors utilizing carbon nanotube field-effect transistors have a tremendous potential to serve as the basis for the next generation of diagnostic systems. While nanotubes have been employed in the fabrication of multiple sensors, little attention has previously been paid to how the nanotube density affects the biosensor performance. We conducted a systematic study of the effect of density o...
