New Biosensors to Detect Cancer Earlier
New biosensors points the way toward an effective early detection system for cancer and other illnesses. The optical sensor can isolate a single molecule in a diffuse solution, boosting the resolving power of such devices one million times. This post from Futurism raises hope for nipping cancer in the bud and sheds light on a new supersensitive biosensor that can make it ... Continue Reading
