Researchers develop laser technology to test drinks for methanol. Adelaide University researchers have developed a way to use lasers to test closed alcohol bottles for methanol, which kills hundreds of people every year.Researchers have developed laser-based technology that can detect chemicals like methanol, which killed two Australian teenagers overseas in 2024, without opening drink bottles.
Thousands of people suffer from methanol poisoning each year, while hundreds die, including teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Morton-Bowles, who died from tainted drinks in a Laos backpackers hostel.
Methanol is a highly toxic alcohol that, when broken down by the human body, turns into formaldehyde and formic acid.
