Molybdenum disulfide field-effect transistors make supersensitive biosensors

By April Gocha / September 12, 2014

Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have fabricated a molybdenum disulfide field-effect transistor—which holds great promise as a single molecule biosensor—that’s 74 times more sensitive than those of graphene.
