Researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s <a href="http://web.eng.fiu.edu/licz/">Nanobioengineering and Bioelectronics Lab</a> at Florida International University, US, have demonstrated an impedance-based biosensor for kinetically measuring nanotoxicity at the cellular level. The results have been published in the journal <a href="http://iopscience.iop.org/0957-4484/21/31/315103/"><em>Nanotechnology</em></a>.
