INO-CNR and PEM Develop Groundbreaking Portable 14CO2 Laser-Based Analyzer

Direct measurement and the tracking of fossil fuel emissions are key to the management of atmospheric composition, yet surprisingly few such measurement data are available. The problem is that the measurement of atmospheric radiocarbon dioxide (14CO2), the only direct tracer for fossil fuel-generated CO2, is difficult, expensive, and limited to large facilities.

Intensity of Fluorescent-Protein-Based Lasers are Maximized by Solid-State Proteins

The same research team that developed the first laser based on a living cell has shown that use of fluorescent proteins in a solid form rather than in solution greatly increases the intensity of light produced, an accomplishment that takes advantage of natural protein structures surrounding the light-emitting portions of the protein molecules.
