Assistant Professor Bae Sung Woo and his team members, Mr. Thio Si Kuan and Miss Chiang Li Ching Elaine (right) have developed a highly sensitive system that uses a smartphone to rapidly detect the presence of toxin-producing algae in water within 15 minutes. This invention can generate test results on-site, and findings can be reported in real-time using the smartphone\u2019s wireless communications capabilities.<\/p>\n

This technological breakthrough could play a big role in preventing the spread of harmful microorganisms in aquatic environments, which could threaten global public health and cause environmental problems.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bae first published the results online in scientific journal Harmful Algae<\/em><\/a>\u00a0on 25 July.<\/p>\n
