Physics Professor creating a smartphone device for COVID-19 diagnostic test

Posted

Professor Jochen Mueller of the School of Physics and Astronomy is part of a collaboration at the University of Minnesota that is building a device for smartphones that will help health care providers identify the COVID-19 virus, i.e., SARS-CoV-2.
