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)

    Chemistry breakthrough sheds new light on illness and health

    May 13, 2013 – 7:00 pm
  • Chemistry breakthrough sheds new light on illness and health - From microscopes to MRI scanners, imaging technology is growing ever more vital in the world's hospitals, whether for the diagnosis of illness or for research into new cures. Imaging technology requires dyes or contrast agents of some sort. Current contrast agents and dyes are expensive, difficult to work with and far from ideal. Now, Danish chemists have discovered a new dye and proved its worth against any of the dyes currently available.

    Polymer ‘nano-suit’ protects insects from vacuum

    April 16, 2013 – 6:01 pm
  • Polymer ‘nano-suit’ protects insects from vacuum | Chemistry World - Japanese scientists have shown that coating insect larvae with Tween-20, a common detergent, lets them survive the powerful vacuum inside an electron microscope. The technique could pave the way for high resolution live imaging.(10.1073/pnas.1221341110)
