This hybrid sensor can help with cancer detection

A team of researchers has developed a nanophotonic-microfluidic sensor whose potential applications include cancer detection, monitoring, and treatment response assessment. 

The study, published in the journal Optics Letters, indicates that the device can identify gases and liquids dissolved at low concentrations with a high degree of accuracy. A special feature of the device is the tiny size of the microfluidic channels.
