How do you bring modern science to the whole world without the cost? Print it on paper of course.
George Whiteside, a chemistry professor at Harvard University, has developed a prototype med lab on a paper chip which could be customized to diagnose a large number of diseases. The eventual goal is to diagnose diseases such as HIV, malaria and tuberculosis using a single drop of blood. The expected cost of this amazing piece of technology? About a penny.
The lab should be available next year. [CNN]
