How does fat affect muscle function?
UMass Amherst researchers engaged in high-tech, multidisciplinary study
Plastic biosensor finds sweet success
An electronic biosensor powered using the glucose in bodily fluids has been developed by KAUST researchers. The device pairs an electron-transporting polymer with an enzyme that extracts electrons from its reaction with glucose to drive its circuitry. The plastic biosensor…
