New Nanochemistry Technique Encases Single Molecules In Microdroplets

Monday, September 28, 2009 - 00:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Inventing a useful new tool for creating chemical reactions between single molecules, scientists have employed microfluidics to make microdroplets that each contain a single molecules of interest. By combining this new microfluidic with techniques to merge multiple droplets, the research may ultimately lead to new information on the structure and function of important organic materials such as proteins, enzymes, and DNA.
