Focussed Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) at the nmRC

The nmRC's Richard Cousins and Chris Parmenter were delighted to support some exciting and novel work from collaborators at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Trent University (NTU). The study from Professor Mohsen Rahmani's group at NTU demonstrated a new optical technology and technique to identify protein changes in relation to disease emergence and progression. The novel setup involves plasmonic nanotweezers using a double-nanohole (DNH) nanostructure for label-free detection of single proteins. This approach allows monitoring of the dynamics of the trapped protein in a physiological solution without destroying it. Read more on this new advancement .
