Ancient Dujiangyan water wisdom inspires AI microfluidic chip to spot hidden sub-resistant bacteria

2026-09-04T12:10:00+01:00

To pinpoint hidden populations of bacteria, researchers have developed a deep learning-based microfluidic rapid phenotypic AST system, named DP-AST, inspired by the “six-four water diversion” principle of the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system in China.
