New Sensor with a Breathalyzer Prevents the Need for a Blood Test

In the future, the procedure of blowing into the tube will not just be used by police checking for alcohol intoxication, but it will also be applied for testing the condition of athletes and for people wanting to lose that extra bit of weight. ETH researchers have developed a sensor that allows carrying out measurements when the body begins to burn fat with a convenient breathalyzer.
