Very happy that our recent paper in ACS Sensors seems to have gathered some interest. The paper can be read here: doi.org/10.1021/acssen… And a short note on our group website here: charge-transfer.pl/2024/06/nfc-sm…

First day of my holiday so the weather has naturally turned cold and rainy… 🤷

Incredible tribute to phospholipids

Milling all stages of publishing now.

Is it just I who feel that an ENERGY drink with zero calories is a bit of a scam?

Gotta love a good bilingual pun!

Precis så här är det och en erfarenhet som i princip alla landsvägscyklister har. Den bygger på många år på vägarna och tusentals omkörningar. Vi vet vad som fungerar. Och ja, så gott som alla landsvägscyklister är även bilförare.

I’m confused!

Det känns alltid ovant efter sommaren när Sveriges Radio byter utrikeskorrespondenter. Bekanta röster från världen byts mot nya (eller nygamla). Bästa förändringen i år: jag älskar att lotten collin är tillbaka i Sydamerika.

David Bowie songs. The Economist ’s weekly quiz.

Colleagues around the world often ask for help troubleshooting aptamers they find in the literature. To their shock, I admit that I also struggle with published sequences. In this editorial piece from ECS 's Sensors Plus, I discuss my experiences to encourage our community to
