Directed evolution of DNA-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotube complexes for optical sensing

Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have garnered significant interest for their applications in optical biosensing. SWCNTs exhibit a sensitive and photostable fluorescence in the near-infrared (NIR) range, allowing for the continuous monitoring of tar ...

Synthetic Biology: A Solution for Tackling Nanomaterial Challenges

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Alice Judith Gillen

Bioengineers have mastered practical techniques for tuning a biomaterial’s properties with only limited information on the relationship between the material’s structure and function. These techniques have been quintessential to engineering proteins, which ...

An Experimental Study on Mixed-Dimensional 1D-2D van der Waals Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube-WSe2 Hetero-Junction

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Farzan Jazaeri, Ali Saeidi, Nicolò Oliva, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Matteo Cavalieri, Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei, Amin Rassekh

This experimental study investigates a novel multi-functional one dimensional-two dimensional (1D-2D) heterojunction made of two different band-gap semiconductors, i.e. single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and tungsten di-selenide (WSe2). The proposed ult ...

Directed evolution of the optoelectronic properties of synthetic nanomaterials

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Alice Judith Gillen

Directed evolution is a powerful approach to tailor protein properties toward new or enhanced functions. Herein, we use directed evolution to engineer the optoelectronic properties of DNA-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotube sensors through DNA mutation. ...

Templating colloidal sieves for tuning nanotube surface interactions and optical sensor responses

Daniel Jerôme Siefman, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Alice Judith Gillen

Surfactants offer a tunable approach for modulating the exposed surface area of a nanoparticle. They further present a scalable and cost-effective means for suspending single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which have demonstrated practical use as fluore ...

Spinning-disc confocal microscopy in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II)

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alessandra Antonucci, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert

Fluorescence microscopy in the second near-infrared optical window (NIR-II, 1000–1350 nm) has become a technique of choice for non-invasive in vivo imaging. The deep penetration of NIR light in living tissue, as well as negligible tissue autofluorescence w ...

Mediatorless, Reversible Optical Nanosensor Enabled through Enzymatic Pocket Doping

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Esra Ahunbay, Nils Schürgers, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert

This study presents a reversible, mediatorless, near-infrared glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase-wrapped SWCNTs. A combination of fluorescence, absorption, and Raman spectroscopy measurements suggest a fluorescence enhancement mechanism based on local ...
