Emotion science is one of the rapidly expanding engineering/scientific disciplines which has a major impact on human society. Such growing interests in emotion science and engineering owe the recent trend that various academic fields are being merged. In this paper we propose the potential importance of the biochip technology in which the human emotion can be precisely measured in real time using body fluids such as blood, saliva and sweat. We firstly and newly name such a biochip an Emotion-On-a-Chip (EOC). EOC consists of biological markers to measure the emotion, electrode to acquire the signal, transducer to transfer the signal and display to show the result. In particular, microfabrication techniques made it possible to construct nano/micron scale sensing parts/chips to accommodate the biological molecules to capture the emotional bio-markers and gave us a new opportunities to investigate the emotion precisely. Future developments in the EOC techniques will be able to help combine the social sciences and natural sciences, and consequently expand the scope of studies.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of microbial polyesters that can be produced by fermentation from renewable resources. PHAs can be used as completely biodegradable plastics or elastomers. In this paper, novel applications of PHAs in biosensor are described. A general platform technology was developed by using the substrate binding domain (SBD) of PHA depolymerase as a fusion partner to immobilize proteins of interest on PHA surface. It could be shown that the proteins fused to the SBD of PHA depolymerase could be specifically immobilized onto PHA film, PHA microbead, and microcontact printed PHA surface. We review the results obtained for monitoring the specific interaction between the SBO and PHA by using enhanced green fluorescent protein, red fluorescent protein, single chain antibody against hepatitis B virus preS2 surface protein and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus surface antigen as model proteins. Thus, this system can be efficiently used for studying protein-protein and possibly protein-biomolecule interactions for various biotechnological applications.

Lung cancer has the highest death rate of any cancer diseases in Koreans. However, patients often feel difficult to recognize their disease before facing the terminal diagnosis due to the absence of any significant symptoms. Furthermore, the clear detection of an early cancer stage is usually obscure with existing diagnostic methods. For this reason, extensive research efforts have been made on introducing a wide range of biochemical diagnostic tools for the molecular level analysis of biological fluids for lung cancer diagnoses. A chip-based biosensor, one type of the analytical devices, can be a great potential for the diagnosis, which can be used without any further expensive analytical equipments nor skilled analysts. In this mini review, we highlight recent research trends on searching biomarker candidates and bio-chip sensors for lung cancer diagnosis in addition to discussing their future aspects.

Next future, The bio technology will be a rapidly developing. This paper is the scattering beam measurement of the red blood cell (RBC) and the fabrication of the micro cell biochip using the bio micro electro mechanical system (Bio-MEMS) process technology. The Major process method of Bio-MEMS technology was used the buffered oxide etchant (BOE), electro chemical discharge (ECD) and ultraviolet sensitive adhesives (UVSA). All experiments were the 10 times according to the process conditions. The experiment and research are required the ultraviolet expose, the micro fluid current, the cell control and the measurement of the output voltage Vpp (peak to peak) waveform by scattering angles. The transmitting and receiving of the laser beam was used the single mode optical fiber. The principles of the optical properties are as follows. The red blood cells were injected into the micro channel. The single mode optical fiber was inserting in the guide channel. The He-Ne laser beam was focusing in the single mode optical fiber. The transmission He-Ne laser beam is irradiating to the red blood cells. The manufactured guide channel consists of the four inputs and the four outputs. The red blood cell was allowed with the cylinder pump. The output voltage Vpp waveform of the scattering beam was measured with a photo detector. The receiving angle of the output optical fiber is $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$. The magnitude of the output voltage Vpp waveform was measured in the decrease according to increase of the reception angles. The difference of the output voltage Vpp waveform is due differences of the light transmittance of the red blood cells.

몇몇의 박테리아들은 바이오필름을 형성하여 그들 스스로를 보호한다. 하지만 바이오필름으로 인해 악취와 질병 등의 문제가 많이 발생되고 있기 때문에 바이오필름을 형성하는 박테리아의 성장을 효율적으로 억제하기 위해 은 나노, 구리 나노입자들이 포함된 다양한 나노스케일의 재료들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어오고 있다. 이들 연구의 주된 목표는 체내에서 독성은 나타내지 않으면서 항균성을 증가시키는 것에 있다. 특히, 구형으로 이루어진 나노입자와 높은 종횡비를 가지는 탄소나노튜브와 같이 차원이 다른 나노물질들의 복합체들은 세포독성을 최소화하면서 특정 박테리아에 대한 항균성을 향상시킬지도 모른다. 이번 연구에서는, 산 처리된 탄소나노튜브에 화학적인 방법을 이용하여 구리 이온을 각각 환원시켜 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체를 합성하였다. 이들 복합체는 transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy 를 이용하여 특성이 분석되었고 Methylobacterium spp., Sphingomonas spp. 와 E. coli 에 대하여 항균성이 평가되었다. 추가적으로 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체는 human fibroblast cells 에 대하여 세포독성이 평가되었고 제작된 마이크로칩 안에 형성된 바이오필름의 성장억제효과가 평가되었다. 결과적으로, 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체에서 바이오필름을 형성하는 Methylobacterium spp. 에 대하여 특이적으로 항균성을 나타냈으며 바이오필름이 형성된 마이크로칩에서 바이오필름을 제거 하는 것이 확인되었다.

바이오 인식, 즉 지문, 목소리, 얼굴, 눈동자, 칩, 땀 등 인간이 가진 바이오 인식 정보를 기반으로 한 IT는 많은 응용이 가능하다. IT 전문가들은 모바일을 활용한 바이오 인식 비즈니스야말로 21세기의 새로운 광맥이 된다고 믿고 있다. 바이오 인식 기술은 가트너 그룹 및 미국 MIT 대학의 '21세기 유망 20대 기술' 중 하나로 선정되기도 하였으며 타 IT 산업에 비해 10~20% 이상의 높은 성장률을 보일 것으로 예상하고 있다 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 바이오 인식 기술을 모바일장치에 적용한 최신 사례들을 분석하고 동향을 소개한다.
