Covalent chemical functionalization of semiconducting 2D chalcogenides
Our aryl diazonium chemistry is not limited to just MoS2. In this Molecular Systems Design & Engineering paper, we show that the covalent chemical functionalization approach is highly versatile and can be applied to a broad range of semiconducting chalcogenide 2D nanosheets: WS2, MoSe2, WSe2, Sb2S3, and Bi2S3.

A low-cost norovirus assay
Noroviruses are a primary cause of foodborne illness that affect millions of people each year. In OUP Synthetic Biology, we describe a norovirus assay that integrates paper-based cell-free reactions with synbody viral enrichment to provide a 1000-fold improvement in detection limit compared to our earlier Zika assay.
