Rapid and Ultra‐Sensitive SARS‐CoV‐2 Subgenomic RNA Detection Using Single‐Molecule With a Large Transistor‐SiMoT Bioelectronic Platform

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The single‐molecule with a large transistor‐SiMoT is proposed for the detection of the subgenomic RNA of SARS‐CoV‐2, achieving a diagnostic sensitivity of 98.0% and a specificity of 87.8%. The SiMoT technology, currently at TRL‐5, is suitable for point‐of‐care settings and delivers the result to the end user in 30 min.

Flash‐Thermal Reduction of Graphene Oxide with Flexible Electronics Platform for Highly Sensitive Wearable Temperature Sensor

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, by employing the flash‐thermal reduction (FTr) technique, the reduction degree of the graphene oxide (GO) with systematic analyses of conductivity and material stability is precisely adjusted. The optimized FTrGO‐based sensor exhibits exceptional flexibility, reversibility, high sensitivity (≈1.28% °C−1), excellent linearity (R2 ≈ 0.999),
