Dance of the atoms: Clustering of atoms observed

June 12, 2013 – 4:03 am
  • Dance of the atoms: Clustering of atoms observed - Lone people standing in a ballroom don’t tend to move a lot. It’s only when they find a suitable dance partner that rapid motion sets in. Atoms on iron-oxide surfaces behave in a similar way: Only with the right molecular partner do they dance across the surface. Scientists have now filmed the atoms, proving that carbon monoxide is the partner responsible for the quick motion.(10.1038/nmat3667)

    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)
