Physicists at CU Boulder and NIST have developed a new laser-based device that can detect a wide range of molecules.

The device can detect molecules at minute concentrations all the way down to parts per trillion.

It could one day help doctors diagnose lung cancer, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The team published their findings in the journal Nature .

Bisht , Liang and Ye are now collaborating with researchers at CU Anschutz Medical Campus and Children's Hospital Colorado to use MRCI to analyze a range of breath samples.

The group is also analyzing the breath of lung cancer patients before and after tumor removal surgery and is exploring whether the technology can diagnose people in early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
