Three in ten people worldwide lack access to a safely managed source of drinking water, with one in ten lacking access to a drinking water service altogether. This is projected to worsen in the coming years as climate change, infrastructure degradation, and poor governance work to further increase global water...
Geogenic fluoride contaminates the water of tens of millions of people. However, many are unaware of the fluoride content due in part to shortcomings of detection methods. Biosensor tests are a relatively new approach to water quality testing that address many of these shortcomings but have never been tested by...
Ensuring adequate water quality is essential for human health and for effective allocation of resources in agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. However, the current state-of-the-art for water quality testing requires expensive equipment and technical expertise to analyze samples and takes days to obtain results from off-site labs, making it inaccessible to...
In environments ranging from natural ecosystems to living organisms, small molecule signals and nanoscale forces communicate important information regarding chemical contamination and pollution, pathogenesis, and physical stressors. As these stimuli are often well below detection limits for our own senses, we depend on biosensing technologies to monitorthem. Many biosensors operate...
