Laser liftoff for hybrid chip

摘要

Researchers have created a portable, chip-size version of a detection system that is used by industry and law enforcement to identify everything from agricultural toxins to DNA. The miniature detector could move types of testing from the lab into the field, saving time and money and increasing security. The team, who used a newly developed laser-processing technique to create the miniature detector, was supported by the National Science Foundation It was led by a Purdue University engineer, conducting work at the University of California, Berkeley.
