What level of scientific knowledge has been gained against COVID-19 during the months of the pandemic? Are current technologies able to keep up with the advances in virology research? Historically, disease outbreaks due to pathogenic…
Viral infections are among the main reasons for serious pandemics and contagious infections; hence, they cause thousands of fatalities and economic losses annually. In the case of COVID-19, world economies have shut down for months, and…
Malaria can be prevented, diagnosed, and treated; however, every year, there are more than 200 million cases and 200.000 preventable deaths. Malaria remains a pressing public health concern in low- and middle-income countries, especially in…
Malaria is a disease of global concern according to the World Health Organization. Billions of people in the world are at risk of Malaria today. Microscopy is considered the gold standard for Malaria diagnosis. Microscopic assessment of…
Malaria is the leading cause of death globally, especially in sub-Saharan African countries claiming over 400,000 deaths globally each year, underscoring the critical need for continued efforts to combat this preventable and treatable…
To have the greatest impact, public health initiatives must be made using evidence-based decision-making. Machine learning Algorithms are created to gather, store, process, and analyse data to provide knowledge and guide decisions. A…
Malaria is a serious infectious disease that is responsible for over half million deaths yearly worldwide. The major cause of these mortalities is late or inaccurate diagnosis. Manual microscopy is currently considered as the dominant…
In this extended abstract we present our approach to marshal digital tools in the fight against malaria. We describe our scalable infrastructure which leverages abstractions to support effective deployment of existing computational models…
Malaria remains one of the most pressing public health concerns globally, causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and disease management.…
The realization of optoelectronic devices on paper has been an outstanding challenge due to the large surface roughness and incompatible nature of paper with optical materials. Here, we demonstrate a new class of optoelectronic devices on a…
The richness of optical and electronic properties of graphene attracts enormous interest. Graphene has high mobility and optical transparency, in addition to flexibility, robustness and environmental stability. So far, the main focus has…
The scientific community has witnessed an exponential increase in the applications of graphene and graphene-based materials in a wide range of fields. For what concerns neuroscience, the interest raised by these materials is two-fold. On…
Among various 2D materials, graphene has received extensive research attention in the past 2-30 years due to its fascinating properties. The discovery of graphene has provided a huge boost and a new dimension to materials research and…
Here we report on technology developments implemented into the Graphene Flagship European project for the integration of graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) into energy application devices. Many of the technologies investigated…
We demonstrate the application of graphene as a support for imaging individual biological molecules in transmission electron microscope (TEM). A simple procedure to produce free-standing graphene membranes has been designed. Such membranes…
Graphene has been one of the most investigated materials in the last decade. Its unique optoelectronic properties have indeed raised it to an ideal and revolutionary candidate for the development of entirely novel technologies across the…
Malaria is a parasitic infection that poses a significant burden on global health. It kills one child every 30 seconds and over one million people annually. If diagnosed in a timely manner, however, most people can be effectively treated…
The latest WHO report showed that the number of malaria cases climbed to 219 million last year, two million higher than last year. The global efforts to fight malaria have hit a plateau and the most significant underlying reason is…
Graphene plasmons provide a suitable alternative to noble-metal plasmons because they exhibit much larger confinement and relatively long propagation distances, with the advantage of being highly tunable via electrostatic gating. We report…
Transmission electron microscopy has witnessed rampant development and surging point resolution over the past few years. The improved imaging performance of modern electron microscopes shifts the bottleneck for image contrast and resolution…
