An article on BBC News reports on a low-cost chemical sensing chip developed by Qiaoqiang Gan, associate professor of electrical engineering, that could test people for cocaine as quickly as a breathalyzer identifies alcohol.
The article quotes Nan Zhang, a PhD candidate at UB, who said, "The chips used for [surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy] are typically fabricated using expensive methods. We created our chip by depositing various thin layers of materials on a glass substrate, which is cost-effective and suitable for industrial-scale production."
