The researchers hope that the invention can help manage medical emergencies. Dr. Yunlong Zhao of the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute said, “The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the entire scientific community. Many of us asked how our work could help those suffering from similar future medicine emergencies.
“We are confident that devices that use our sensor layer system could be too
