Engineering and Scientific Advances from Fundamental Research Are Main Drivers of Economic Growth

Caption

Researchers funded by NSF are creating a new biosensor that uses laser light, engineered viruses and advanced manufacturing techniques to more accurately detect the smallest amounts possible of biological molecules--in our food, in our water and even in our own blood. Learn more about this study.
