The researchers are hoping it can be applied to the transfer of objects by robotic systems.

Key Points: 
  • The researchers are hoping it can be applied to the transfer of objects by robotic systems.
  • The structure and operation of the soft robotic device with dry adhesive.
  • The dry but sticky secret of a gecko's foot lies in its coating of tiny hairs- made of protein- called micro setae.
  • The researchers found that the addition of this twisting motion caused a ten-fold reduction in the force required for detachment, which could be vital when handling delicate materials.

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has recently garnered attention among materials science researchers owing to its ability to form two-dimensional nanosheets like graphene. The nanosheets are created by the stacking of S–Mo–S layers interacting via Van der Waals interactions. Additionally, the unique structural, optical, thermal, and electrochemical properties of MoS2 have opened up multiple research avenues across several fields, including the development of biomolecule sensing and chemical detection platforms, optoelectronics, supercapacitors, and batteries.

Key Points: 
  • Traditionally, carbon nanostructures have been employed as an immobilization platform for DNA.
  • In order to substitute carbon with MoS2 as an effective electrochemical DNA sensor, the electrical conductivity of MoS2 needs to be improved considerably.
  • The duo has developed an electrochemical DNA biosensor using a graphitic nano-onion/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet composite, which effectively detects human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 and HPV-18, and can serve as an early diagnosis of cervical cancer.
  • Dr. Kang elaborates: "The DPV current peak was lowered after probe DNA chemisorption and target DNA hybridization.
