NANOTECHNOLOGY/DISEASE DETECTION : Light-scattering nanoparticles enable fast, accurate flu diagnosis - at low cost
Fast or accurate? Those are typically your choices for flu diagnosis. But a new biophotonics approach offers both speed and accuracy, and low cost as well—all things that are supremely helpful during outbreaks, especially because antiviral drugs are most effective in the early stages of disease.

Raman laser method boosts cell biology for early disease detection
Duke University researchers are using the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) laser method to peer into the genetic material of cells, to detect the earliest signs of disease in a single cell, and to noninvasively and optically biopsy tissue inside the body for the tell-tale traces of cancer.
