It becomes more and more important to sense on a scale as small as possible. The goal: Detecting a small amount or even just one molecule.

News from the area of molecule sensing and innovations are presented in COMPAMED.de's Special "Molecule by Molecule".

In a study that could lay the foundation for mass-produced single-molecule sensors, physicists and engineers at Rice University have demonstrated a means of simultaneously making optical and electronic measurements of the same molecule.
