Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a lightweight, fully automatic biological weapons detection system that one day may find its way to the battlefield. The system, which researchers have tested mounted in an airplane, uses fluorescent antibodies, diode lasers, fiber optics and photodetectors to find airborne bacteria. Researchers have designed a detector for biological weapons that is light enough to be carried by a small remote-controlled plane. Courtesy of Frances S. Ligler. Reseachers led by Frances S. Ligler and George P. Anderson developed the detection...Read full article
