Coupled Microcantilevers Can Measure Nanogram-Scale Mass

Working with a device that slightly resembles a microscopically tiny tuning fork, researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have recently developed coupled microcantilevers that can make mass measurements on the order of nanograms with only a 1 percent margin of error -- potentially enabling the weighing of individual molecules in liquid environments. The findings are published this week in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing.

New Study on Methane Nano-Bubble Formation during Hydrate Decomposition

Like the carbon dioxide in a fizzing glass of soda, most bubbles of gas in a liquid don't last long. But nanobubbles persist. These bubbles are thousands of times smaller than the tip of a pencil lead -- so small they are invisible even under most optical microscopes -- and their stability makes them useful in a variety of applications, from targeted drug delivery to water treatment procedures.
