MIT engineers have designed a food sensor , made from an array of silk microneedles, that can pierce through the plastic packaging of foods to sample for bacterial contamination and spoilage. The strip did indeed work, showing a positive for the bacterium in about 16 hours and indicating spoilage a few hours after that.
