Scientists have developed a light-based sensor that can identify tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood samples, potentially enabling earlier detection than traditional scans. The technology combines DNA nanostructures, CRISPR, and quantum dots to produce a clear signal from just a few molecules. Tests on lung cancer patient serum showed promising results at sub-attomolar levels.
