• Tracking Tiny Particles
  

  Scientists at the University of Tübingen head a new international project to develop an electrochemical sensor to detect and analyze nanoparticles in commercial products. They are found in cosmetics and paints, and even help keep fruit fresh – nanoparticles, with their antimicrobial qualities, are b more

• MIT: Tiny stamps for tiny sensors

  Advances in microchip technology may someday enable clinicians to perform tests for hundreds of diseases — sifting out specific molecules, such as early stage cancer cells — from just one drop of blood. But fabricating such “lab-on-a-chip” designs — tiny, integrated diagonistic sensor arrays on surf more

• Quartz crystal microbalances enable new microscale analytic technique
  

  A new chemical analysis technique developed by a research group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses the shifting ultrasonic pitch of a small quartz crystal to test the purity of only a few micrograms of material. Since it works with samples close to a thousand times sma more

• Dynamic Light Scattering - an Important Tool for Protein Crystallography and Nanotechnology
  

  Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is an established technique in the field of protein crystallography. DLS is used to measure hydrodynamic sizes, polydispersities and aggregation effects of protein samples. These are important parameters for the crystallisation of proteins. DLS is also used in the nanotechnology research for the accurate and fast size measurement of nanoparticles made of different materials. more
