How Cornell’s Revolutionary Biochip Could Save Us From the Next Pandemic

Cornell University researchers have developed an innovative bioelectric device capable of detecting and classifying coronavirus variants by mimicking the infection process on a microchip.

This device, which uses a biomembrane to simulate the cellular environment, can swiftly determine the potential threat level of each variant and also adapt to other viruses like influenza and measles, offering a quick and effective tool for early virus characterization and response.

Scientists at Cornell University have developed a bioelectric device that can detect and classify new variants of coronavirus to identify those that are most harmful. It has the potential to do the same with other viruses, as well.
