The biosensor she is working on is still in the prototype stage of development, but in a few years she envisions a hand-held device that will require hardly any training to use.
"The selection process the polymers use to select for specific bacteria in the listeria biosensor is very similar to the squid's cilia.
"Currently, the listeria biosensor is about the size of a postage stamp, with two wires leading to two etched conductive areas.
Also in the works is a disposable paper-based biosensor that can be disposed of after one use.

In graphene a single layer of carbon atoms is arranged in the form of a honeycomb structure.
Its highly versatile nature makes it applicable for use in numerous electronics gadgets such as wearables, flexible displays and other sophisticated electronic devices."

#Grolltex to Commercialize Graphene Mass Production Technology with The Triton Fund Investment A University of California,
San diego graduate student has found a way to use mass-produced graphene, an allotrope of carbon that is one atom-thick.
Large-scale graphene can be used for applications such as water desalination membranes and flexible electronics. raphene is more conductive than any metal we know of,
said UC San diego Nanoengineering Ph d. candidate Aliaksandr (Alex) Zaretski. t has been known for years that graphene is useful as a water desalination membrane.
We can introduce nanopores into a monolayer of graphene, push large quantities of salt water through and the salt will be rejected on the basis of size

#New Revolutionary One-step, High-Yield Graphene Generation Process Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and University of Western australia researchers have developed a new process to develop few-layer
graphene for use in energy storage and other material applications that is faster, potentially scalable and surmounts some of the current graphene production limitations.
Graphene is a thin atomic layer of graphite (used in pencils) with numerous properties that could be valuable in a variety of applications,
including medicine, electronics and energy. Discovered only 11 years ago, graphene is one of the strongest materials in the world,
highly conductive, flexible, and transparent. However, current methods for production currently require toxic chemicals and lengthy and cumbersome processes that result in low yield that is not scalable for commercial applications.

#Sweet source for aviation biofuel Researchers have identified a new way to produce aviation fuel from sugarcane biomass that could deliver substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Biofuel sweetspot"We've identified a new route of chemistry with its source from sugars in sugarcane plus some of the so-called waste material called bagasse"
The development of a reliable biofuel that can be scaled up to a level that be used by the world's commercial airlines has proved somewhat elusive.
The search for aviation biofuels broke on to the public stage in the late 2000s
when there were a number of test flights using a blend of conventional fuel and biofuel. In February 2008, the first commercial flight partly powered by biofuel (derived from a mixture of babassu nuts
and coconuts) took off from London's Heathrow airport. After a lengthy review by aircraft makers, engine manufacturers and fuel producers, biofuels were approved for commercial use in 2011.
Prof Bell said the team were hopeful that their findings would ultimately be adopted by commercial fuel producers."
"Food v fuel In recent years, political support for biofuels has waned as concern grew that global demand for biofuels would result in a switch away from food production to biofuel production, exacerbating food security worries.
"Prof Bell said that the process to make the aviation biofuel outlined in his team's paper would use waste biomass to generate the energy required operate the refinery,
from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, said the work was a step towards"the dream of nanoscale 3d printing"."

#India's Largest Bank Commits $12. 5 Billion For Renewable energy Funding Private sector project developers in India rapidly growing renewable energy would be happy to have the backing of the country largest bank
The State bank of india (SBI) has committed to provide $12. 5 billion in debt funding to renewable energy projects over the next few years.
The announcement was made at the RE-INVEST summit organised by the Ministry of New and Renewable energy.
The bank hopes to provide debt financing to 15 GW of renewable energy projects most of which are likely to be based on wind and solar energy.
Financing has been a major issue for the renewable energy sector in India. Increased competition in auctions for solar power projects has cut the tariffs by nearly 70%since 2010.
Indian banks are known to question the financial viability of projects secured at seemingly low tariffs. Solar power projects have received especially unfavourable response from the Indian banks as solar photovoltaic power tariffs have been falling
while wind energy tariffs have risen slowly but steadily over the last few years. The lending rates in India are also significantly higher than other countries.
SBI and other national banks usually provide debt at interest rates as high as 11%to 12%.
%Compared to this, development banks like Kfw and US Export-Import Bank and multilateral banks like Asian Development bank and the International finance corporation provide funding at rates as low as 4%.Over the last few years some private banks in India have signed deals with development banks to provide loans
The Indian Renewable energy Development Agency (IREDA) is expected also to provide loans at low rates following its recent agreements with the European Investment bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency,
The renewable energy sector in India has faced collateral damage for years due to the poor financial health of the power sector as a whole.
Unfortunately, renewable energy is considered a sub-sector to the power sector for lending purposes in the Indian banking regime.
As a result, the Indian banks are unable to disburse any fresh funds to renewable energy projects.
This announcement by the country largest bank and the recent funding agreement worth $4 billion with the US is expected to boost the growth of the Indian renewable energy sector r
