Computer Scientists Develop Portable Evidence-Gathering Tool
Investigators on a crime scene can now use a new tool for collecting chemical or biological samples. The sampler gun collects samples on a cotton pad -- eliminating direct contact with anything ... > more -
New Software Helps Track the Path of Toxic Spills
Ecological engineers have developed software that can model the path of a toxic spill in waterways anywhere in the United States. The system can predict if and when a contaminant will reach a ... > more -
Micro-X-Ray Fluorescence Also Provides Spectroscopic Information
Ordinary invasive fingerprinting techniques, such as dusting, are prone to damaging evidence. Micro-X-ray fluorescence images fingerprints without touching them. By stimulating atoms to emit ... > more -
Industrial Toxicologists Develop Cost-Effective, Life-Saving Disinfection
Industrial toxicologists at a non-profit venture founded by Procter & Gamble developed PUR, a water purifier that combines a flocculant -- which separates particles and organisms from water -- ... > more -
Food Chemists Find that Milk Pushes Air to Break Crystallized Sugar
