Researchers develop novel way to shrink light to detect ultra-tiny substances
2/20/2020, by Thomas Lee Researchers at UC Berkeley have created light-based technology that can detect biological substances with a molecular mass more than two orders of magnitude smaller than previously possible. In a paper published this week in Nature Physics , Boubacar Kanté, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences and faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, describes a method to build...
