New Nanocrystalline Diamond Probes Overcome Wear (redOrbit)
Researchers at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University have developed, characterized, and modeled a new kind of probe used in atomic force microscopy (AFM), which images, measures, and manipulates matter at the nanoscale.Using diamond, researchers made a much more durable probe than the commercially available silicon nitride probes, which... »

Powerful new ‘molecular GPS’ helps probe aging and disease processes (PhysOrg)
Scientists in Michigan are reporting the development of a powerful new probe for identifying proteins affected by a key chemical process important in aging and disease. The probe works like a GPS or navigation system for finding these proteins in cells. It could lead to new insights into disease processes and identify new targets... »
