Latest Patents
Cuong Cao holds a patent for an "Alphabetical metamaterial gate/sensor device and its use to measure mercury." This invention relates to a logic gate that incorporates a metamaterial surface enhanced Raman scattering (MetaSERS) sensor. The device features alphabetical metamaterials in the form of split ring resonators, which operate in the wavelength range of 560 to 2200 nm. The logic gate utilizes a guanine (G) and thymine (T)-rich oligonucleotide that can fold into a G-quadruplex structure in the presence of potassium cations (K). When mercury is present, it forms a T-Hg-T hairpin complex that disrupts the G-quadruplex structure, showcasing the device's unique capabilities.
