Terahertz Sensors Improve Optics
ARLINGTON, Va., June 14, 2010 — Air Force Office of Scientific Research-funded Professors Mark L. Brongersma of Stanford University and Stefan A. Maier of Imperial College London are investigating new applications for terahertz sensors. Based on their research, these sensors could be used for improving optical sources, detectors and modulators for optical interconnections and for creating biomolecules, such as plastic explosives for the Air Force. Brongersma's work is based on the unprecedented ability of...
Baking powder or anthrax? Ask the Ceeker
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – These days, anyone who comes across a strange white powder might like to know – as quickly and as accurately as possible – whether it is benign baking powder or deadly anthrax. The Ceeker can help. Pronounced “seeker,” the handheld gadget was...
Should Scientists Beware of the Government?
Aug 28, 2008 — Even if you don't work for the government, auditors can shut down your lab. According to a co-worker at a lab that I worked for, one such auditor said that if he wanted to, he could order our lab to replace all of the tiling in the floor of our...
Photodiodes Spy Anthrax
ATLANTA, G.A., June 27, 2008 – Thanks to a group of researchers at Georgia Tech, the U.S. military’s pressing requirements for compact, reliable and cost-effective sensors for detecting anthrax and other bioterrorism agents could soon be met. The group discovered a new class...
Tiny Biosensor to Detect DNA
TEMPE, Ariz., March 26, 2008 -- A biosensing nanodevice powered by a tiny enzyme motor may one day eliminate long airport security lines and revolutionize health screenings for diseases such as anthrax and cancer and antibiotic-resistant Staph infections. Arizona State...
Light Deactivates Anthrax
TROY, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2007 -- A new technique targets specific proteins, such as the dangerous anthrax toxin, and renders them harmless using nothing but light. The method could also be used to create new cancer treatments and antibacterial coatings. Scientists have long...
Laser Technique Detects Anthrax in Real Time
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, April 13, 2007 -- A laser technique has been developed that can instantly identify deadly anthrax spores. "Our report shows how to use lasers to detect anthrax in real time as opposed to the cumbersome and wieldy way it is done now," said Marlan Scully,...
Sugar-Coated Carbon Nanotubes Stop Anthrax
CLEMSON, S.C., Oct. 5, 2006 -- Just as a "spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down," researchers have found that coating carbon nanotubes with sugar attracts deadly anthrax spores, rendering them harmless. Clemson University chemist Ya-Ping Sun and his research team...
Ocean Optics Licenses Spore Detection Technology
Apr 3, 2003 — DUNEDIN, Fla., April 3 -- Ocean Optics Inc. has licensed a technology to detect quantify bacterial spores to a US Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Md. The technology has been integrated into a portable system for the instant detection of...
