Novel Plasmonic Transducer Holds Promise for Ultra-Sensitive Nanoscale Sensors

Researchers at FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam and EPFL in Lausanne have developed a new way to measure tiny displacements with light. By confining plasmons in a resonant cavity that is only 20 nanometers wide, they could precisely measure mechanical motion smaller than the size of an atom. Their work is published this week in the journal Nano Letters.

Novel Nano-Sensor Differentiates Melanoma Cells from Normal Skin Cells

According to new research from the Monell Center and collaborating institutions, odors from human skin cells can be used to identify melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. In addition to detecting a unique odor signature associated with melanoma cells, the researchers also demonstrated that a nanotechnology-based sensor could reliably differentiate melanoma cells from normal skin cells.

Color Molecules on Bacterial Protein Nanostructured Surface Detects Pharmaceutical Residues

"Pharmaceutical residues are becoming increasingly a problem for the environment. Sewage plants do not decompose these substances completely. The problem will worsen if one considers, for example, the rising proportion of elderly people in our society who actually account for the increased consumption of medicine," notes Dr. Katrin Pollmann, Team Leader Biotechnology at the HZDR.
