Getting the drop on malaria

Student startup uses drop-based microfluidics technology to detect malaria

These nanodiscs act as micro-resonators, trapping infrared photons and generating polaritons. When illuminated with infrared light, the discs concentrate light in a volume thousands of times smaller than is possible with standard optical materials, which can be used to detect single biomolecules.
