Origami-Inspired Paper Sensor for Malaria and HIV
Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, chemists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a 3-D paper sensor that may be able to test for diseases such as malaria and HIV for less than 10 cents a pop.
Such low-cost, “point-of-care” sensors could be incredibly useful in the developing world, where the resources often don’t exist to pay for lab-based tests, and where, even if the money is available, the infrastructure often doesn’t exist to transport biological samples to the lab.
“This is about medicine for everybody,” says Richard Crooks, the Robert A. Welch Professor of Chemistry. One-dimensional paper sensors, such as those used in pregnancy tests, are already common but have limitations. The folded, 3-D sensors, developed by Crooks and doctoral student Hong Liu, can test for more substances in a smaller surface area and provide results for more complex tests.
Origamists (yes, believe it or not, that is the correct word) and scientists unite! Additionally, this sensor can be printed out on practically any printer and still function normally; pretty ingenious.
