A heat sensor for living cells could offer new views of cell metabolism, rapid antibiotic testing
Researchers at Harvard have developed a highly sensitive pico-calorimeter capable of measuring the metabolic heat signals of living cells. This device allows for real-time monitoring of bacterial growth and drug responses at a scale previously impossible to detect.
Why it matters
This technology could significantly accelerate antibiotic testing and provide new insights into cellular metabolism, potentially leading to faster medical diagnostics.
