Simple, Portable, Low-cost, Viral Antigen Detection Method

Recent infectious diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2, have caused massive and widespread global health and economic problems. One of the most effective tools in the early stages of a disease outbreak is testing and isolation of the infected. However, it takes time to develop a new diagnostic, particularly with novel pathogens. By the time a new test...

DNA Nanocaged Enzymes

Compartmentalization increases the overall activity and specificity of encapsulated enzymes by protecting the enzymes, maintaining a high concentration of enzymes and substrates, and promoting substrate channeling. While there have been artificial enzymatic particles that have been created using compartmentalization by virus-like proteins, liposomes,...

Low-cost and Simple Ebola Virus Test

Ebola virus (EBOV) is a highly virulent pathogen, causing severe hemorrhagic fever in humans with a lethality rate of 45-90%. With such high lethality rates, it is imperative that EBOV is detected early and infected patients are isolated to reduce transmission and control outbreaks. While PCR is the gold standard for EBOV detection, it requires...

Enhancing Biocementation Using Hydrogels

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is a technique used for soil stabilization. EICP cements soil particles together using urease enzymes to precipitate calcium carbonate in a water-based solution. EICP may be used as a means of improving the bearing capacity of soils, preventing erosion, and mitigating the potential for earthquake‐induced...

Direct Metal Printing with Stereolithography

Background 3D stereolithography (SL) printing is a relatively new scientific phenomenon, enabling the creation of virtually any object from a digital file using additive processes, meaning the object is created by laying down subsequent layers of the material until the desired object takes shape. This technique is highly effective in printing polymeric...
