In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes their system, which involves the
8、use of an external microchip device and a smartphone system that uses a trained deep-learning algorithm.As the pandemic has gripped the world for most of this year, scientists have been looking for ways to slow the spread of the next one. In this new effort, the team has developed a smartphone-based
9、 system that can be used by non-medical people to test for a variety of viral infections.The system is made up of a smartphone, an external microchip device and software. Body fluid samples are placed into a channel on the microchip device, which is then dipped in a small amount of H2O2. The resulti
10、ng reaction leads to the formation of bubbles. The bubbles develop in unique patterns based in part on viruses in the fluid sample. The user points their smartphone camera at the bubbling sample and starts the deep-learning algorithm that has already been trained to identify the patterns and therefo
11、re recognize the presence of viruses. The whole process takes about 50 minutes. The researchers have thus far taught their system to recognize just three viruses, Zika and Hepatitis B and C. But testing shows the system to be 99% accurate. They note that their system is more portable and cost-effect
12、ive than other solutions in the works.The researchers suggest that their system could be rapidly trained to recognize new viruses if the need arises, and the microchip device could be sent to hot spots in the future. Such technology, the researchers suggest, could help to stop future pandemics if us

Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers (障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, law
17、s stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africas

Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials when they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go throug
19、h a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas (签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or
20、they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments have conflicts with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or idea
21、s freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed

The astonishing variety of facial features
27、helps people recognize each other and is vital to the formation of complex societies. So is the faces ability to send emotional signals, whether through an unconscious red face or the artifice of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives reading faces, for signs of attraction, hatred, t
28、rust and fraud. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide true feelings or intentions.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. In C
29、hina, it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apples new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the home screen.Set against human skills, such applications might seem incremental(增值的). Some breakthroughs,
30、such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems merely to encode(编码) them. Although faces are unique to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, interfere with something that is private. And yet the ability to record, st

Law-enforcement a
33、gencies now have a powerful weapon in their ability to track criminals, but at enormous potential cost to citizens privacy.The face is not just a name-tag. It displays a lot of other informationand machines can read that, too. Again, that promises benefits. Some firms are analyzing faces to provide
34、automated diagnoses of rare genetic conditions, far earlier than would otherwise be possible.
