Currently, tests to detect the presence of infection or disease require a sample of blood from a patient, which is later analyzed in a laboratory to detect markers of disease
The measurement tool, known as the Materials Analysis Particle Probe (MAPP), was built by a consortium that includes Princeton University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The automated process is controlled by weaving a STEM instrument’s electron beam through a liquid-filled cell to spur deposition of metal onto a silicon microchip
With three new detectors coming online in the next several years, scientists are confident they will collect enough geoneutrino data to measure Earth’s fuel level
