Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array
Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array - an array of chips where each chip (roughly 1 inch by 1 inch) will be an extended-life glucose biosensor. In the NSF-sponsored research of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., researchers are working on an implantable biosensor for diabetic patients designed to work for six months or longer. Currently, commercial technology allows for only three to seven days of continuous operation of in-vivo glucose sensors.

Eight-letter genetic code hints at how alien life might evolve
‘Expanded genetic systems allow us to challenge the notion that the most conserved aspects of biology, shared across all life, are special,’ says genetic systems engineer Chang Liu from the University of California, Irvine, US, who was not involved in the new work.
