Hierarchical micropapillae and nanofolds are known to exist on the petals' surfaces of red roses. These micro- nanostructures provide a sufficient roughness for superhydrophobicity yet at same time high adhesive force with water. A water droplet surface petal appears spherical in shape, which cannot roll off even when is turned upside down. We define this phenomenon as "petal effect" compared popular "lotus effect".

We have demonstrated a novel sensing strategy employing single-stranded probe DNA, unmodified gold nanoparticles, and positively charged, water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte to detect broad range of targets including nucleic acid (DNA) sequences, proteins, small molecules, inorganic ions. This nearly “universal” biosensor approach is based on the observation that, while specifically inhibits ability DNA prevent aggregation gold-nanoparticles, no such inhibition observed with...

A limitation of many traditional approaches to the detection specific oligonucleotide sequences, such as molecular beacons, is that each target strand hybridizes with (and thus activates) only a single copy relevant probe sequence. This 1:1 hybridization ratio limits gain most and their sensitivity. Here we demonstrate nuclease-amplified DNA scheme in which exonuclease III used "recycle" molecules, leading greatly improved sensitivity relative to, for example, beacons without any significant...
