T. Rex Proteins Survive for 68 Million Years More than two years ago, a team of researchers dropped a bomb-news on the international scientific community – they had found intact proteins from a Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs that ever lived. Critics naturally started jumping up and down, arguing that it was essentially impossi... 1 August 2009 02:44 GMT 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 method is a significant b... 23 July 2009 06:12 GMT New Mass Spectrometric Method Identifies Metabolites Faster Thanks to a new mass spectrometric method devised by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, in Jena, Germany, working together with colleagues from the Czech Academy of Sciences, in Prague, the Czech Republic, doctors could soon require only a single drop of blood – less than a micro liter... 19 June 2009 09:34 GMT
