Nanoparticle Technique Developed that Identifies Single Molecules

A new method of increasing the signal of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been developed which means samples of just a few molecules can be identified and studied in a non-destructive way. SERS is an enhanced form of Raman Spectroscopy, a technique which uses infra-red lasers to determine the molecular constituents of a sample without causing any permanent changes.

Scientists Develop Novel AFM Technique to Further Understanding of Ligand-Receptor Binding

A new high resolution method, that uses atomic force microscopy, has been developed that allows the exact shape of a receptor and it's affinity towards a particular ligand to be measured simultaneously. This has never been achieved before and will prove extremely useful in understanding the complex mechanisms behind cell communication.

Molecular Grain-Size of Methane Hydrates Determine Their Behavior

Methane hydrates are a kind of ice that contains methane, and that form at certain depths under the sea or buried in permafrost. They can also form in pipelines that transport oil and gas, leading to clogging. Yet methane hydrates are nearly impossible to study because it is very hard to get samples, and the samples themselves are highly unstable in the laboratory.

Simulations Help Understand Atomic Level Happenings in Inexpensive Method to Generate Clean Fuel

An inexpensive method for generating clean fuel is the modern-day equivalent of the philosopher’s stone. One compelling idea is to use solar energy to split water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen and then harvest the hydrogen for use as fuel. But splitting water efficiently turns out to be not so easy.
