‘Fingerprinting’
nanoscale objects and viruses
IBEC's
Nanoscale Bioelectrical Characterisation group are celebrating the publication
of their latest results in Nature Materials this week. In their paper
"Label-free identification of single dielectric nanoparticles and viruses
with ultraweak polarization forces", Laura Fumagalli, group leader Gabriel
Gomila and their colleagues present their work on a new technique to identify
nano-objects such as viruses without the need for labeling, which could offer a
breakthrough for biomedical diagnostics, environmental protection and
nano-electronics.
