Researchers find new way to enhance the sensitivity of electrochemical micro-sensors
A team led by researchers at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering have found a new way of enhancing the performance of electrochemical micro-sensors. This discovery could lead to the detection of biomolecules, such as dopamine, at lower concentrations than is possible today. Their findings are described in a paper published in the journal
Biosensors and Bioelectronics.
Dopamine molecule activity in the brain is associated with important functions such as motivation, motor control, reinforcement, and reward. Researchers and clinicians commonly monitor neurotransmitter activity in the brain through electrochemical micro-sensors made of carbon. However, due to their limited sensitivity, existing micro-sensors can detect only large changes in dopamine levels. They can also record from only one site in the brain at a time.

Infused $341 million into domestic start-up ecosystem over past three years
Investments into the start-up ecosystem by micro venture capital funds, investments under $30 million, have jumped manifold to $341 million in the past three years, says an industry report. In the past decade, micro VCs have emerged as promising players in the domestic start-up investor landscape, providing the much-needed risk capital as well as hands-on mentorship to their portfolio companies as they seek to achieve product market fit and become ready to scale with stable business models. The number of micro VCs rose to 88 funds in 2020 from just 29 in 2014. The increase in the number is driven by the booming start-up ecosystem, says a joint report by the Indian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (IVCA) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), along with Praxis Global Alliance.
