Sensors based on special sound waves known as surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are capable of detecting tiny amounts of antigens of influenza A viruses. These sensors have been developed by A*STAR, Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and have the potential to detect viral infections rapidly and reliably at the point-of-care, making them powerful tools for combating future pandemics.
