In 2005, the U.S. government funded the Tunnel Detection Initiative, which recruited academics, industry specialists, and military engineers to detect excavation near the border.
Bacteria engineered to detect specific chemicals are deposited on chips less than two millimeters long.
He has asked the central government in Kabul and the country's intelligence services for air support and engineers to detect improvised explosive devices.
Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that are engineered to detect and bind to other proteins that are present on cancer cells and that aim at thwarting a cancer's ability to grow.
Even the polygraph a technology specifically engineered to detect lies in a controlled setting is riddled with problems and comes to the wrong conclusion about a third of the time.
Instead, this mouse's ON bipolar cells another retinal cell type, shown in green have been engineered to detect and respond to light using a light-sensitive channel protein normally found in algae.
Bacteria engineered to detect specific molecules are placed in four wells on the custom-designed sensor, which is attached to a microprocessor that converts the sensory information to a wireless signal.
Researchers in his lab seeded the intestines of mice with a microbe found in dairy products, one that they'd engineered to detect cholera and that in its natural form makes the gut more acidic.
Nonantibody scaffolds such as designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) can be rapidly engineered to detect diverse target proteins with high specificity and offer an attractive alternative to antibodies.
