    Post DIY Biochemical Scanner From a Hacked CD Drive

    via Slashdot


    Turns out hacking two extra light sensors into a CD drive can turn it into a lab scanner to read the results of high-accuracy immunoassays used to detect disease markers or pathogens, New Scientist reports. The drive proved able to detect pesticides at concentrations as low as 0.02 micrograms per litre.

    Very clever scientists, CD drives are cool when hacked/modified. We have some very cool tools in our homes that we never knew their full potential, cause everyone has a CD drive
