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.
