Being able to detect very low concentrations of analyte in a reasonable time frame is an enduring challenge for sensors in particular and analytical chemistry is general. Researchers at the University of New South Wales have recently reported a solution to this problem by developing an entireLy new class of biosensor (Lai L.M.H., Goon I.Y., Chuah K., Lim M., Braet F., Amal R., Gooding J.J., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 6456-9).
