After nearly eight months of reviewing and narrowing down numerous innovation and technology transfer proposals from various universities, NASA selected eight projects as finalists for its MUREP Innovation Tech Transfer Idea Competition (MITTIC): four from California, two from New Mexico, one from North Carolina, and one from Maryland.
During the final presentations on April 15, the judges selected Fayetteville State Universityâs (FSU) innovation and technology transfer idea âBioLidarâ as the winning project.
The âBioLidarâ innovation uses selected laser frequencies to identify pathogens, cancerous cells and dead cells, by the two techniques of optical-spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry. It then removes (ârâ in BioLidar) those cells by laser assisted break-down of the chemical substance of the cells. The name comes from LiDaR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, which is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed
