Nanotech enhancement: Gold rush

Date: Aug 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

It is possible to tune gold nanoparticles with peptides for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in such a way as to side step the problematic stages inherent to other approaches to nanoplasmonic structures for analyte detection, according to Italian researchers.

Heads up: American football collision course

Date: Aug 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

A new measure of the effects of cranial impact in American football players can be used in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurological testing to assess the cumulative effect on players before and after the American football season.

Martian atmospherics: Peering into the past

Date: Aug 1, 2013

Author: David Bradley

An Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrometer will provide complementary data to the  Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) and other instruments aboard NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, which is destined for Mars and will measure the gas composition of the Red Planet to give us a clearer picture of its past.

Conquering the nerve gases: High-resolution mass spectrometry of chemical warfare agents

Date: Jul 15, 2013

Author: Steve Down

Nerve agents have been detected in urine by a non-targeted high-resolution mass spectrometric method that is comparable to current MS/MS methods and is not limited to a specific panel of compounds.
