Talk about the future? It looks like scientists at Purdue University have developed some pretty wild and innovative biotechnology. "Purdue University scientists have developed a method for stacking synthetic DNA and carbon nanotubes onto a biosensor electrode, a development that may lead to more accurate measurements for research related to diabetes and other diseases."Carbon nanotubes have been found to have much better thermal and electrical properties versus the standard materials currently used for biosensors. This newly developed super biosensor could be used for diabetes and insulin management in diabetic patients. Such technology can easily pave the way for biosensors that can be used for patient specific purposes and track in real-time the effectiveness of drugs on their targets in the body. It seems like nano technology is continuing to progress and is certainly the science of the future.
