A group of specialists from the Organization for Optoelectronic Frameworks and Microtechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has planned a biosensor equipped for distinguishing proteins and peptides in amounts as low as a solitary monolayer. For that, a surface acoustic wave (SAW), a sort of electrically controlled nanotremor on a chip, is produced with an incorporated transducer to follow up on a pile of 2D materials covered with the biomolecules to be distinguished. As they report in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics in an article named "Surface-acoustic-wave-driven graphene plasmonic sensor for fingerprinting ultrathin biolayers down to as far
