"Nanotech gadget could diagnose any disease"

Sorry if this should be in the technology forum. please move if needed

I stumbled upon this article on newscientist.com, hopefully a bright future for medical science.

A way to stuff a microchip full of detectors for a whole range of medical conditions has been developed by US chemists. They say their device is a step towards a universal handheld diagnosis system that can look for signs of hundreds of conditions in a single liquid sample and give an instant read out.

Sorry to bust your bubble. They can diagnose the same diseases now even if it takes a little longer. However, just because you can diagnose doesn't mean that you will get cured. They need to find cures. Nevertheless, it looks cool to find it out whats wrong with you in a much shorter period of time.
