    Carbon nanotubes for molecular magnetic resonances

    June 9, 2013 – 9:01 pm
  • Carbon nanotubes for molecular magnetic resonances - Researchers at ICFO have developed a new technique for measuring very weak forces on a molecular scale. Thanks to the use of carbon nanotubes, they have achieved the highest level of sensitivity to date. These results published in Nature Nanotechnology open the door for magnetic resonance imaging of individual molecules.(10.1038/NNANO.2013.97)
