Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array
Extended-Life Glucose Biosensor Array - an array of chips where each chip (roughly 1 inch by 1 inch) will be an extended-life glucose biosensor. In the NSF-sponsored research of Chancellor's Professor Marc Madou, Ph.D., researchers are working on an implantable biosensor for diabetic patients designed to work for six months or longer. Currently, commercial technology allows for only three to seven days of continuous operation of in-vivo glucose sensors.

EDITORIAL: Environment: Water quality efforts deserve support
After 15 years of study and some 90 reports, researchers have unearthed solutions to cleaning up the Le Sueur River and its tributaries. For so long, scientific disagreements or political divides made solutions elusive. … The latest study, by the University of Minnesota, University of Kansas and University of California-Irvine, showed the best and most cost effective way to reduce sediment and nitrogen runoff would be wetland restoration.
