"Revolutionary Biochip: Rapid Genetic Screening and Cancer Protein Detection in One Tool"
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a biochip that can rapidly screen thousands of molecules, including live viruses. The biochip consists of tiny silicon boxes with nanoantennas that focus near-infrared light on their top surfaces, allowing for the measurement of shifts in wavelengths of light as they emerge from each box. The chip was able to identify 4,000 copies of target genes per microliter of buffer solution and has potential applications in diagnostics and research.
