Phys.org, Bioengineering, and other news outlets quoted Peter Q. Liu, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about his research demonstrating a new type of high-performance optical sensor which can utilize the surface tension of liquid as a means of significantly enhancing sensitivity.
“What we set out to explore is a device structure that can trap analyte molecules precipitated out of a solution into the hot-spots in a passive (requiring no energy input) and effective way, and we realized that we can make use of the surface tension of liquid to achieve this goal,” said Liu.
