Description

<jats:title>Graphene-based biosensors</jats:title> <jats:p> The mid-infrared (mid-IR) range is particularly well suited for biosensing because it encompasses the molecular vibrations that identify the biochemical building blocks of life, such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. However, the resulting optical signal is extremely weak and often requires complex techniques to enhance the biological detection. Rodrigo <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> present a graphene-based biosensor that they dynamically tuned over a broad spectral range through electrical gating. The authors selectively probed protein molecules at different mid-IR frequencies using a single device. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6244" page="165" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="349" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aab2051">165</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
