  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line. However, just like the narrative arcs of our favorite stories, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed conclusion—one that feels both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for. It brings a sense of peace, knowing that despite the ups and downs, there was a purpose behind every step we took. And when the ending is good, it makes all the struggles worthwhile. The Importance of Completion In a world that moves at such a rapid pace, we often rush through tasks and events, focusing on the next big thing before we’ve even processed the current one. Yet, completing something gives us the chance to reflect. We can look back and appreciate the ...

Abu Dhabi deploys laser-based COVID-19 tests at the border

Abu Dhabi develops a laser-based test for people crossing or entering the border to avoid delays. People who will test negative on the laser-based equipment will be allowed to enter the border.
Abu Dhabi-based facility, QuantLase Imaging Lab, has developed this rapid screening technology that will involve less time for the travellers, especially the ones in hurry. “Travellers to the emirate of Abu Dhabi can be screened for COVID-19 upon entry by a laser-based DPI technique. A negative result will allow entry to Abu Dhabi, while a positive result will lead to further testing through a PCR test,” the Abu Dhabi Media office announced today.
In case of testing positive on the machine, there will be a PCR test after which the traveller will have to head back to their resident and wait for the result to come and if it results negative, then only the traveller is allowed to enter Abu Dhabi premises.
The test has also been adopted by the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention. This test essentially uses a laser based technology to detect inflammation in blood samples within seconds of testing.
“The device will help limit the number of individuals undergoing the PCR test as it identifies potential COVID-19 cases. Those with positive results [on this test] can take a nose swab PCR test to determine if the cause [for the detected inflammation] is COVID-19,” the MoHAP said in a statement to the Gulf News.
Dr, Pramod Kumar, who is the head of research at QuantLase explained that  the blood sample is inserted into the device, and laser light is shone onto it. When the light is scattered by cells, interference is used to create patterns on a screen in a process known as Diffractive Phase Interferometry.
