MIT’s $1 DNA Sensor Could Revolutionize At-Home Disease Detection
MIT researchers have developed a groundbreaking $1 DNA sensor that can detect diseases like cancer, HIV, and influenza—without the need for labs, refrigeration, or specialized equipment. Powered by CRISPR technology and protected by a heat-resistant polymer coating, this ultra-low-cost device could revolutionize at-home diagnostics and bring life-saving healthcare to remote and underserved communities around the world.
