    This research paper investigated the detection of COVID-19 using an Aluminum Interdigitated Electrode (Al-IDE) sensor based on electrical conductivity. The silanization process involved the functionalization step, employing (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), while the immobilization process was facilitated by the RNA Probe specific to COVID-19. To verify its specificity in detection, the functionalized biosensor was tested against single-base mismatches, non-complementary sequences, and complementary sequences. The physical characteristics of the Al-IDE biosensor were examined using both low-power microscopy (LPM) and high-power microscopy (HPM). Additionally, the morphological properties of the biosensor were assessed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). To assess its diagnostic potential, the biosensor's sensitivity was evaluated by exposing it to a range of complementary targets, spanning from 1 femtomolar (fM) to 1 micromolar (μM). The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the biosensor were meticulously analyzed at each stage of functionalization bare Al-IDE, silanization, immobilization, and hybridization. This I-V characterization was carried out using a picoammeter voltage source (Keithley 2450), Kickstart software, and a probe station. The results confirmed the biosensor's capability to effectively detect COVID-19 targets within the nanoampere concentration range, demonstrating its success in detecting specific COVID-19 targets at the nanoampere level.

    The study presented a functionalized silicon with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) to serve as a sensor for heavy metal detection. The amino-functionalized Si nanowires were tested against the heavy metal, lead (Pb). Due to the silicon electrochemical response towards the heavy metal ions, linear response to four different sources of water was observed. The results indicated that Pb can be detected with a high precision. Furthermore, confirmation was demonstrated using atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine the level lead content in the collected water source. Tab water (H2O), River H2O, Treated (H2O), DI (deionized) H2O and found the levels of 0.0859 mg/L, 0.0929 mg/L, 0.0052mg/L, 0.0023 mg/L with 5.8pA, 7.2pA, 4.6pA, 3.3pA current responses, respectively. Thus, with this high capability to discriminate water samples, the sensor potential can be employed for effective heavy metal detections and further be extended to a large sensor network in water treatment plant. A new microfluidic bonding material based on SU8 to implement electrical Nano chemical sensors for ions sensing, and an investigation of direct electrical measurement allowed for label free detection.. Thus, the study developed new room temperature bonding method using SU8 as an intermediate adhesive layer. The SU8 modified bonding was compared with non modified. The bond strength of SU8 modified was found to be stronger than ordinary plasma bonding under the same curing conditions. Overnight room temperature curing yields an average burst pressure of 420 kPa, which is more than adequate for many PDMS sensor devices. In contrast, non SU8 coated plasma bonded resulted in a burst pressure of only 174 KPa.

    Nanoparticles have a large surface area for their size and interact effectively with other particles. AgNPs may be created chemically, physically, or biologically. Biological techniques are considered the safest and cleanest since they use no toxic chemicals. Biological synthesis involves plant extracts, bacteria, fungus, algae, and other organisms. The algal production of AgNPs is of major interest. The abundance of algae and the ease with which it can be grown in a lab are two of the many reasons why it has become so popular as a nanoparticle production source. In this study, algae were employed as nanoparticles and antibacterial inhibitors against microbes.

    The vibration properties and the mechanical characteristic are important for the stability of electronics devices, particularly for Nano devices with high potential application. Silicon Nanowire show different properties from the corresponding bulk silicon. The understanding of its behaviour with reliable theoretical model explain the relation between size effect of the nanowire and the vibration frequency is significant to reveal the mechanical behaviour of the device is very important. Thus, this study, present the effect of small diameter of Silicon Nanowires on Its Vibration Properties is established based on the lattice parameters and the binding energy change of silicon nanowire based on first principles calculations through Abinit. Atomic interaction of the SiNWs obtained based on the density functional theory. It was observed that the atomic interaction energy as result of electromechanically induced pressure due -hole pair in which electron (e-) was reductive, and hole (h+) was oxidative. The hole (h+) reacted with e- in the second nanowire, generating free radicals (e-), superoxide anion and perhydroxyl radicals which create phonon group velocity this create vibration. Due to the excessive energy of process the temperature rises and alters the atomic cubic dimensions in turn affect its elastic properties. The nanowire compared with with bulk silicon exhibit high higher modulus, this as result of damped behaviour of the nanowire which is due to the high frequency vibration of silicon atoms at the edge of SiNWs and its Debye length is shorter. As the wire diameter decrease effect of the atomic vibration is reduced.

    Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a strain of Escherichia coli known for causing foodborne illness through the consumption of contaminated or raw food. To detect this pathogen, a conductometric immunosensor was developed using a conductometric sensing approach. The sensor was con-structed on an interdigitated electrode and modified with a monoclonal anti-Escherichia coli O157: H7 aptamer. A total of 200 electrode pairs were fabricated and modified to bind to the target molecule replica. The binding replica, acting as the bio-recognizer, was linked to the electrode surface using 3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane. The sensor exhibited excellent performance, detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a short time frame and demonstrating a wide detection range of 1 fM to 1 nM. Concentrations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 were detected within this range, with a minimum detection limit of 1 fM. This innovative sensor offers simplicity, speed, high sensitivity, selectivity, and the potential for rapid sample processing. The potential of this pro-posed biosensor is particularly beneficial in applications such as drug screening, environmental monitoring, and disease diagnosis, where real-time information on biomolecular interactions is crucial for timely decision-making and where cross-reactivity or interference may compromise the accuracy of the analysis.
