  Washington DC (SPX) Jan 03, 2018 As medicine and pharmacology investigate nanoscale processes, it has become increasingly important to identify and characterize different molecules. Raman spectroscopy, a technique that leverages the scattering of laser light to identify molecules, has a limited capacity to detect molecules in diluted samples because of low signal yield. A team of researchers from the University of Hyderabad in India has improved molecular detection at low concentration levels by arranging nanoparticles on nanowir ... read more |

 Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 05, 2018  Up until now, we've lived in an era of "one and done" spacecraft. Barring a few notable exceptions, spacecraft launch alone, operate alone and are decommissioned alone. In an average year, several billion dollars' worth of satellites that could be refueled or repaired are retired because there is no way to service them in space.
