"Revolutionary Bioengineering Technique Boosts DNA Detection Sensitivity 100-Fold"

Researchers at UMass Amherst have developed a new method for DNA detection that increases sensitivity by 100 times. The method utilizes an alternating electric field to make the DNA strands oscillate at a specific frequency, allowing for easy identification and distinction from other molecules. This breakthrough has significant implications for disease detection, enabling earlier diagnoses and faster treatment. The method is also portable and cost-effective, making it suitable for point-of-care testing in resource-limited areas.
