About this technology
Overview
Los Gatos Research Inc. of Mountain View, California, partnered with Ames Research Center to develop instrumentation for detecting signs of life in deep sea and deep space environments.

Los Gatos plans to grow from 30 to nearly 50 fulltime employees by the end of 2011.
