Funding riskier research

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Hank Hogan, Contributing Editor, [email protected]

For the greatest reward, you sometimes have to take the most risk. Even though balancing risk against reward can be difficult, the federal government does it all the time in funding basic life sciences research. A look at several agencies reveals some of the challenges and potential of funding riskier, yet possibly more rewarding, projects. It also shows what may be an emerging new funding source. High-risk/high-reward funding has been awarded to help scale up the fabrication of nanoparticles for the life sciences in four easy steps. In the upper left, a proprietary material (green)...Read full article

    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
