This article was about a Harvard chemistry professor trying to shrink a medical lab to the size of a penny. This technology, says George Whitesides(the chemistry teacher) will be able to diagnose diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases, and these products will be ready in about a year, he says. He gets his designs from m comic books and assures us that they are cheap. The way they work is that the patient puts a drop of blood on one side of the paper, and on the other appears a colorful pattern in the shape of a tree, which tells pros whether the person is infected or not. The paper chips could be used in phones, since they have become widely popular.
A lot of people think that if Whiteside’s work does work, this could be a huge hit, because nowadays people are looking for cheap, working ways to medicine.

We chose this article is important because this doctor has found easier way to medicine. It can help African nations, because it's cheaper compared to test in a hospital. This is really a medical success.
