Paper Glass Sensors

Paper glass sensors are low-cost analytical devices that combine porous paper with glass or glass-like sensing materials to detect chemical substances. Liquid samples move through the paper by capillary action, while reagents or functionalized sensing surfaces interact with target molecules and produce a measurable color change, fluorescence signal, or electrical response. Their lightweight construction, minimal sample requirements, and compatibility with portable readouts support rapid chemical analysis outside conventional laboratories. In chemistry, these sensors can aid environmental monitoring, food testing, biomedical screening, and educational demonstrations, while ongoing improvements in selectivity, sensitivity, and multiplexed detection expand their research and field applications.

The video demonstrates a paper-based immunoassay, involving amine-functionalized cellulose discs cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. Covalent immobilization of IgG-Fc-specific capture antibodies, followed by the introduction of immunoglobulin G and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated detection antibodies, results in a color change confirming the presence of immunoglobulin G.

The Looking Glass Self

2025

The concept of the looking-glass self describes how an individual's self-concept is shaped by their perception of how others see them. This psychological theory, first introduced by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley in 1902, posits that self-identity emerges in a social context and is influenced by the judgments—real or imagined—of others.Research suggests that individuals frequently overestimate how positively others perceive them. This is particularly evident in physical self-perception,...
