➀ Researchers at UC San Diego and Boston University develop an optical biosensor for rapid monkeypox detection; ➁ The biosensor uses a pixel-diversity interferometric reflectance imaging sensor (PD-IRIS) to identify the virus; ➂ The diagnostic process takes about 20 minutes from sample collection to diagnosis, significantly improving existing methods.

➀ The importance of documentation is addressed; ➁ Editor Bill Wong discusses heating issues for home and server systems.

1. Researchers in Brazil developed a nano-enabled colorimetric assay for detecting Paracoccidioidomycosis using gold nanoparticles; 2. The assay showed 100% sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between positive and negative tests for P. lutzii; 3. This method highlights the potential of nanotechnology in advancing medical diagnostics and improving patient outcomes.
