Description
When it comes to halting the spread of deadly diseases, every second counts. But, current efforts to contain them are often hampered by the time it takes to diagnose and isolate those carrying the virus. A new machine has been developed in Singapore, which can diagnose infectious diseases, such as bird flu, within two hours.
