Inorganic porous nanofibers with surfaceinterface defects are prepared through humidity-controlled electrospinninghigh-temperature annealing technology. Under the irradiation of light sources of different wavelengths (380~780 nm), the bound electrons stored in the valence band can be excited to the conduction band to form free electrons on the surface of the material, generating different intensities of microcurrents, light sensitivitymicrocurrent changes. Because the "inorganic nanofiber" technology has high uniquenesshigh product compatibility, it can be applied to a wide range of markets.

1. Infrared wax physisorption kinetics (iR-WPK) provides a glyco-histopathological imaging analysis for examining tissue sections, which utilizes n-alkanes with carbon number (CN) from 20 to 34 and beeswax as glycan adsorbents for targeting similar longitudinal length of glycans of glycoconjugates anchoring in the cell surface. 2. It is an in-situ non-destructive method of examining tissue sections for cancer screening and prognosis prediction for chronic kidney disease by profiling aberrant glycans covalently-attached to both glycoconjugates anchored in tissue sections. 3. It can screen ten cancers including colon cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer, cervical cancer, oral cavity cancer, gastric cancer, skin cancer, prostate cancer, intestinal neuroendocrine tumor and brain cancer.
