GE researchers are currently working on a sensor that can be plugged into smartphones and wearable devices that will detect the presence of novel coronavirus nanoparticles. Reuters The electronic sensors are essentially based on the same test method currently used in laboratories to detect the presence of SARS CoV-2. Instead of focusing on other diseases, you only recognize the coronavirus specifically .

GE explains the project with the words: “Tools available for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus require extensive sample preparation and / or expensive laboratory equipment in order to obtain accurate results. The aim of this pro

The development of a sensor that can quickly detect toxic gases or biochemicals remains a major issue in the public health, environmental surveillance, and military sectors. Recently, a research team at POSTECH developed an inexpensive, ultra-compact portable hologram sensor that instantly notifies the user of the detection of volatile gases. A joint research team led by Professor Junsuk Rho from the Department of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering and Dr. Inki Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering with Professor Young-Ki Kim and Ph.D. Candidate Won-Sik Kim from the Department of Chemical Engineering at POSTECH has integrated the metasurface with the gas-reactive liquid crystal optical modulat
