Discover how scientists are analyzing compounds in the breath to create a versatile breathalyzer capable of detecting disease.

--

How is it that a breathalyzer can measure the alcohol content in someone’s blood, hours after they had their last drink, based on their breath alone?

Julian Burschka details the complicated process.
