SARS-CoV-2 detection using a device attached to an ordinary smartphone

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers have developed an assay that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in a nasal swab using a device attached to an ordinary smartphone, they report December 4 in the journal Cell. Although more research is needed before such a test can be rolled out, the results are promising and ultimately may be applicable to screening Read more about SARS-CoV-2 detection using a device attached to an ordinary smartphone[…]

A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell

Posted on by Haptic

Since their invention more than 60 years ago, diamond anvil cells have made it possible for scientists to recreate extreme phenomena – such as the crushing pressures deep inside the Earth’s mantle – or to enable chemical reactions that can only be triggered by intense pressure, all within the confines of a laboratory apparatus that Read more about A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell[…]
