Congrats Soren! Best Talk of the Day at Porus Semiconductor – Science and Technology Conference

May. 4, 2026—Biofunctionalized Zwitterionic Polymers for High Specificity Porous Silicon Biosensing Porous silicon (PSi)-based optical biosensors are a promising platform for rapid, quantitative diagnostics, offering label-free molecular detection with high intrinsic sensitivity and compatibility with paper-based lateral flow assays and smartphone readout. However, their operation in complex biological media remains limited due to biofouling and hydrolytic instability....

Congrats Ginny! Parkhutik Prize, Most Outstanding Poster at Porus Semiconductor – Science and Technology (PSST) conference

May. 4, 2026—Control of Fluid Flow in Paper-based Porous Silicon Biosensor for Enhanced Sensor Performance   Porous silicon (PSi)-on-paper sensors are a promising platform for sensitive and quantitative rapid diagnostic tests. Here, we report a combined vertical and lateral flow geometry in which lateral-flow microchannels control the incubation time of target molecules in the PSi membrane active...
