About this Research Topic
The field of biosensors and chemistry has seen rapid advancements, particularly in areas such as disease diagnosis, agriculture, food safety, and environmental monitoring. Recent developments in biosensing detection, molecular diagnostics, wearable sensors, digital health, and artificial intelligence, especially when integrated with nanomaterials and functional nucleic acids, have led to lower detection costs and times, higher sensitivity and specificity, and enhanced compatibility with portable platforms. Despite these advancements, there remain significant gaps in the field, such as the need for more robust, scalable, and cost-effective solutions. Ongoing debates focus on the optimization of these technologies for practical applications and the integration of emerging techniques like CRISPR-based diagnostics. While significant strides have been made, further investigation is essential to address these challenges and fully exploit the potential of biosensors and chemistry in diagnostics.
