Cheap, Portable Device Uses Quantum Dots to Spot Deadly Bacteria

Cheap, Portable Device Uses Quantum Dots to Spot Deadly Bacteria

Researchers at Macquarie University have developed an inexpensive, portable device for detecting a superbug known as MRSA whereby quantum dots on a test strip fluoresce when key DNA sequences are captured. A smartphone camera then registers the florescence, and an app displays the results.
