A significant advance in the battle infectious diseases has come from research by Chao Wang, a Fulton Schools assistant professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering, and collaborators at the University of Washington, Seattle. Their technique called Nano2RED, is a twist conventional high-accuracy tests relying on complex testing protocols and expensive readout systems. An innovative Rapid and Electronic Readout process developed in the Wang lab delivers test results, which are detectable as a color change in the sample solution and record the data through inexpensive semiconductor elements such as LEDs and photodetectors. It can be developed and produced at a very low cost, deployed within weeks or days after an outbreak and made available for around 1 cent per test. Wang is a researcher in the Biodesign Center for Molecular Design and Biomimetics at ASU.The news has also been reported in LabMedica, Verve Times, Technology Networks, Science Daily, Honest Columnist, The Science Times, MDLinx, Knowledia, Nanowerk, Medically Prime.Com, Mirage News, Phys.Org, Nano Market, ASU Biodesign Institute News, RapidMicroMethods, NovLink.co,  KJZZ (NPR) Fronteras
