Bath scientists receive £1 3 million grant to develop a portable spice-detection device

Bath scientists receive £1.3 million grant to develop a portable spice-detection device Apr 22 2021 University of Bath scientists have been awarded a research grant of £1.3 million to develop a portable device to detect the street drug ‘spice’ on the spot. They expect the new technology to be ready for use in clinical settings, prisons and across police services within three years. Dr Chris Pudney with an early prototype of the spice-detection device.

At present, testing involves urine samples being sent to a laboratory for analysis, with results being available after three to seven days.

Soundwave droplet technology could reshape printing

8th March 2021 10:42 am 8th March 2021 10:42 am UK-based researchers have developed a new technique that uses soundwaves to precisely control the dispersion of droplets, something that could fundamentally transform printing. (Credit: University of Bath) Known as ‘sonolithography’, the technology is the work of scientists at the Universities of Bath and Bristol. It uses commercially available transducers and electronics in combination with computer algorithms to manipulate ultrasonic acoustic fields, laying down precise and repeatable patterns of microscopic aerosol droplets on a substrate. “The power of ultrasound has already been shown to levitate small particles,” said Professor Mike Fraser from Bath’s Department of Computer Science.
