Discovery measures greenhouse gases from space

Supported by an ARC Discovery program grant, scientists have discovered how to measure greenhouse gases 200,000 times faster as the result of research by an award-winning PhD student from The University of Western Australia and a US team. 

The discovery, which is already being used by NASA scientists in Space, has major implications for global warming research, breath analysis (to detect illness), explosives detection, chemical process monitoring and a range of other applications, including fundamental quantum theory.
