...tinel real-time water supply protection monitoring biosensor system, the Photo-Molecular Comb biomolecular separator and the miniature californium-252 neutron source for cancer therapy. The awards were presented during the consortium's national meeting in Orlando. The consortium is composed of 711 federal labo...NIH awards Georgia Tech/Emory $11.5 M for nano cardiology research
...e and obstruct blood flow. A molecular beacon is a biosensor about four to five nanometers in size that can seek out and detect specific target genes. It is a short piece of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the shape of a hairpin loop with a fluorescent dye molecule at one end and a "quencher" molecule at the ot...ASU researcher creates novel 'bioelectronic signatures' to detect DNA mutations
