First Nanoscale Mass Spectrometer Created

California Institute of Technology (Caltech) scientists managed to create the first mass spectrometer at the nanoscale in the world. The device is able to measure the mass of single molecules in real-time, combining the action of components several billionths of a millimeter in size. The new ... [ read more >> ]
