From accidents to assets—The value pathways of patents for serendipitous inventions

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Firms often celebrate accidental inventions that lead to major breakthroughs, yet little is known about how the value of serendipitous inventions materializes. Using data from 8530 patented inventions across 23 countries, our research shows that these inventions differ from planned R&D outcomes.

Ultrasensitive MicroRNA Detection Combining Reduced Graphene Oxide Electrolyte‐Gated Transistors and Machine Learning

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
We developed an ultrasensitive and highly selective biosensor by integrating bio‐functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrolyte‐gated transistors (EGTs) and machine learning (ML) to detect miRNAs (miR‐34a, miR‐34b, and miR‐34c) associated with cancer and neurological disorders.
