Gold-coated optical fiber rapidly gathers microscopic targets for faster, more sensitive detection

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have developed a light-driven technique that quickly amasses thousands of bacteria into a single spot, boosting detection speed and sensitivity. Their approach paves the way for earlier diagnosis of disease. The study is published in Communications Physics.
