Paper - based device spots falsified or degraded medications (video)

The developing world is awash in substandard, degraded or falsified medications, which can either directly harm users or deprive them of needed treatment. And with internet sales of medications on the rise, people everywhere are increasingly at risk. So, a team of researchers has developed a simple, inexpensive paper-based device to screen suspicious medications. A brand-new video on the research is available at http://bit.ly/ACSfakedrugdetection .
