National Science Foundation Grants Clemson Professors Award To Develop Nanoprobes
The National Science Foundation has granted two Clemson University professors $250,000 to research and develop nanofiber-based probes - needles that are 10 times smaller in diameter than a human hair - for medical diagnostics. The probes may save both money and time compared to more traditional methods of sampling biological fluids. Needles containing tiny fibers will work like a sponge to draw up fluids from even the smallest surface.
