Sensor measures concentration of coronaviruses in air

Researchers led by environmental engineer Professor Jing Wang have developed a biosensor that detects aerosols in the air to which coronaviruses adhere. This allows real-time monitoring of virus levels in indoor environments. The aim is to apply the principle to other viruses to detect and stop epidemics at an early stage. The project was presented today in the Synthesis Report of the National Research Programme "Covid-19" of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
