Thanks to advanced semiconductor microfabrication technology, chip-scale integration and
miniaturization of lab-on-a-chip components, silicon-based optical biosensors have made …

In this review, we describe current and future potential wound healing treatments for acute
and chronic wounds. The current wound healing approaches are based on autografts …

This Review summarizes recent developments in the field of responsive photonic crystal
structures, including principles for design and fabrication and many strategies for …

Wound healing involves a complex series of biochemical events and has traditionally been
managed with 'low tech'dressings and bandages. The concept that diagnostic and …

The use of porous silicon (PSi) as a sensor for detection of various analytes is reviewed. The
optical or electrical properties of PSi are key sensing parameters that have been used in …

Photonics, the technology of photons (as electronics is the technology of electrons),
promises to be the new century's driving force in the advancement of, mainly but not only …

A variety of silicon-based nanostructures with dimensions in the 1–5 nm range now emit
tunable photoluminescence (PL) spanning the visible range. Achievement of high …

We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate an ultrasensitive two-dimensional photonic
crystal microcavity biosensor. The device is fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator wafer and …

Biosensor research is a rapidly expanding field with an immense market potential spanning
a broad spectrum of applications including biomedical diagnostics, environmental …

Recent events have made public health officials acutely aware of the importance of rapidly
and accurately detecting acts of bioterrorism. Because bioterrorism is difficult to predict or …
