Developing New Sensor Approaches
Caption:
Researchers direct light from a laser into a material, which results in the material creating light at twice the frequency.
More about this Image
Dr. Randy Heflin and his colleague Kevin Van Cott, received a Nanoscale Exploratory Research (NER) grant from the National Science Foundation to explore the nanoscale world through computer simulations and a combination of optics, thin-film technology, and analytical biochemistry. Heflin and Van Cott are attempting to develop new sensor approaches for detecting the presence of biological entities--such as pathogens, DNA, or biological compounds--in an environment or a sample.
