Summary: In this study, a novel coupling-based sensor operating at 20 GHz was designed to increase the sensitivity for detecting nanoscale objects. The sensor's geometry was fine-tuned for an optimal coupling coefficient, and its performance was compared with that of conventional sensors. The exceptional sensitivity of the sensor was demonstrated through the in-flow detection of 200 nm-sized polystyrene beads, achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Summary: The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has driven a surge in demand for rapid and efficient viral infection diagnostic tests, leading to a shortage in diagnostic test consumables. A new method using carbon nanotubes and ssDNA sequences has been developed to achieve high-yield extraction of viral nucleic acids, with a 100% extraction yield of target SARS-CoV-2 RNA. This method allows direct extraction of nucleic acids from human saliva, bypassing the need for further biofluid purification and commercial extraction kits.
