Two-dimensional nanostructures based ‘-onics’ and ‘-omics’ in personalized medicine

Abstract

With the maturing techniques for advanced synthesis and engineering of two-dimensional (2D) materials, its nanocomposites, hybrid nanostructures, alloys, and heterostructures, researchers have been able to create materials with improved as well as novel functionalities. One of the major applications that have been taking advantage of these materials with unique properties is biomedical devices, which currently prefer to be decentralized and highly personalized with good precision. The unique properties of these materials, such as high surface to volume ratio, a large number of active sites, tunable bandgap, nonlinear optical properties, and high carrier mobility is a boon to ‘onics’ (photonics/electronics) and ‘omics’ (genomics/exposomics) technologies for developing personalized, low-cost, feasible, decentralized, and highly accurate medical devices. This review aims to unfold the developments in point-of-care technology, the application of ‘onics’ and ‘omics’ in point-of-care medicine, and the part of two-dimensional materials. We have discussed the prospects of photonic devices based on 2D materials in personalized medicine and briefly discussed electronic devices for the same.

Novel time-domain NMR-based traits for rapid, label-free Olive oils profiling

“…In addition, the proposed NMR-based detection methods were much cheaper per assay, user-friendly, and can be used at point-ofdetection (Table 3). This work demonstrated the spirit of combining the (old-fashioned) machine with the (new-wave) of machine learning, to produce an ′intelligent machine′ 30,36,37 , an attractive scientific solution for the food science community.…”

Discretely-supported transfer nanoimprint anti-reflection nanostructures on complex uneven surface of Fresnel lenses

“…Fresnel lenses are extremely appealing for lots of compact optics applications, such as wearable augmented and virtual reality [1,2], precision photoelectric sensing [3,4], solar concentration [5], and biomedicine imaging [6][7][8]. The fundamental advantage is that the surface relief ridges and grooves control the propagation of the incident light because the structure of the Fresnel lens is lightweight and delicate in comparison to the traditional bulky lens.…”
