Harnessing photonics for at-home disease detection

With nothing more than a photonic chip and an ordinary camera, researchers have managed to count biomolecules one by one in a small sample and determine their position. Their tiny device -- a marriage of optics and smart image analysis -- is even able to detect a graphene sheet only a single atom thick. This type of sensor could one day play a key role in personalized medicine.
