Finally, MlT and Harvard have been working on sensors that can detect viruses as ebola since 2014, and they are now working on a mask for the face to be lit as it approaches coronavirus, reported by Business Insiver, records albinfo.ch.
It should be noted that the biofuels lab at MlT started developing sensors that could detect the ebola virus in 2014, and a small team of scientists from MlT and Harvard joined together to publish their study in 2016.
They had adapted their technology to address the ebola virus and the mourning virus at the time. Now, they hope to adjust their study and their sensors will be able to detect coronavirus when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even breathes in a mask.
MIT researcher Tim Collins told Business Insiver that even though the project is in its early <x0phazas”, the results so far have been promising and they hope they will be able to demonstrate their concept in the coming weeks. The team of researchers has tested the sensor's ability to detect coronavirus with a small sample of saliva.
Once we are at that stage, then individuals who are expected to be infected should be tested to see if it will work in a real world environment”, Collins added.
He is considered to be one of the pioneers in synthetic biology, and he won the genius grant MacArthur in 2003. His laboratory received a 50,000-dollar grant from Johnson & Johnson to develop lab coat detectors, and sensors can be a cheaper and faster way of discovery than traditional diagnostic tests. /Albinfo.ch.
