A portable device can collect and detect airborne molecules without needles.

Researchers from the University of Chicago have created a small, portable device.

The device could detect airborne viruses or bacteria in hospital or public spaces.

Researchers envision the device, nicknamed ABLE , could improve neonatal care or allow people with diabetes to read glucose levels from their breath.

The researchers are working with the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Center for the Science of Early Trajectories .

"This work might start many new studies on how these airborne impurities affects phase change behaviors, for example, and the new physics can be used for many applications," Ma says.
