The electrochemical sensor, made of a graphitic nano-onion/molybdenum disulfide nanosheet composite, detects human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and HPV-18, with high specificity Diagnosis of cervical cancer involves detection of target DNAs produced from human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and HPV-18. Recently, researchers from Chung-Ang University developed an electrochemical DNA biosensor with enhanced sensitivity for…

Researchers expand the “simple view of reading” framework using meta-analytic structural equation modeling in the context of second and foreign languages Early reading skills are well explained by the simple view of reading (SVR) theory. However, SVR has some limitations. A researcher from Chung-Ang University has now expanded the existing…

The multimetric portable system uses an IoT sensor to simultaneously measure strain and acceleration of the structures real-time during delivery. Precast concrete structures (PCS) reduce workforce dependency and construction time. However, they are subjected to vibrations and strain during transport from their manufacturing site to the construction site. Effective quality…

Chung-Ang University Researchers Fabricate Novel Flexible Supercapacitors on Paper The researchers vertically integrate multiple gold electrodes within a single sheet of paper to create a super-dense energy storage device Wearable devices are powered by flexible electronics that use plastic or metal foil electrodes. However, plastics have poor adhesion and metal…

The model accurately predicts uncertain parameters related to renewable energy sources for microgrid operation, their energy demand, and market prices The increasing emphasis on green energy has led to the development of renewable energy sources (RESs). RESs are integrated into power supply systems via microgrids (MGs) whose efficient and profitable…

Researchers analyze state-of-the-art approaches, limitations, and applications of deep learning-based anomaly detection in multivariate time series Unusual observations or anomalies in recorded data are common. Detection of such anomalies has applications in identifying credit card frauds, industrial intrusion, weather changes, medical seizures, etc. Chung-Ang University researchers have now provided an…

This study compares the efficacy of three mass spectrometry instruments and sample preparation techniques for the clinical diagnosis of mold Filamentous fungi (molds) are a major cause of life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals. Hence, there is an urgent need for their rapid and accurate identification. While matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time…

Researchers interpret the dominant mechanism for unexpected charge injection in organic photodetectors The performance of organic photodetectors (OPDs) is degraded by noise. Although charge injection is the major source of dark current in the photodetector, few studies have been conducted to determine the noise origin in OPDs. To this end…

Researchers from Korea and USA discover unique DNA methylation patterns driving population diversity and interactions in ocean microbes In prokaryotes, DNA methylation has been extensively studied. However, most of these studies have been limited to lab-cultured microbes, with a limited understanding regarding DNA methylation in natural microbial environments. Scientists from…
