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.
