The American Chemical Society (ACS), a nonprofit organisation chartered by the United States Congress, announced last month that scientists have used a single-atom-thick nanomaterial to construct a device capable of detecting the viruses that cause Covid-19 and the flu much more quickly than conventional tests for either infection.
“When both of these viruses are circulating together as they did earlier this winter, it would be immensely useful to have a sensor that can simultaneously detect whether you have Covid-19, flu, none of the above or both,” Deji Akinwande, Ph.D., one of the scientists responsible for developing the sensor, said in a press release.
