"The Butterfly is about the size of an electric shaver. It is
battery-powered and contains microchips rather than piezoelectric
crystals, so it usually won’t break if dropped. (That was accidentally
tested a few times during a week that a reporter spent in rural Uganda
with Dr. Cherniak’s team.)"

Wonderful technology.  Very cool!  Via Esther Schindler.

Share and enjoy,
