Peek behind the paper: fluorescent nanodiamonds for more sensitive diagnostics

In this behind-the-paper interview, Benjamin Miller (i-sense EPSRC IRC, University College London; UCL, London, UK) discusses recent, proof-of-concept research he was involved in, utilizing fluorescent nanodiamonds to improve the sensitivity of paper-based, lateral flow diagnostic tests, which could potentially enable earlier detection of viruses including HIV.
