🔬 Momina Amir showcased an elegant approach to fabricating high-aspect-ratio silicon microneedles — combining sharpness with substrate flexibility. A key step forward for wearable biosensors & minimally invasive healthcare. #microneedles #biomedicalengineering
In this work, COMSOL simulations and experiments supported the design of our next-gen biosensor—coming soon!
Using screen-printed electrodes + molecularly imprinted polymers, our sensor hits a 19 pM detection limit and works in both tap and river water. No lab needed. Just dip & detect.
A step toward faster, accessible environmental monitoring. 🌍🧪
