Dr Doherty said medical researchers could use the device (diamond tip molecular beam at nanoscale) to weigh and identify complex molecules such as proteins, which drive diseases, such as cancer, and cures for those diseases.
"Every
great advance for microscopy has driven scientific revolution,"
he said.
"Our
invention will help to solve many complex problems in a wide range of
areas, including medical, environmental and biosecurity research."
Molecular
MRI is a form of the common medical imaging technology that is
capable of identifying the chemical composition of individual
molecules, while mass spectrometers measure the masses within a
sample.
Current work is like quantum
basis for sonic screwdriver in Dr. Who or tri-corder in star trek.
Generally beyond, when possible at all, the limited irrational
thinking of humanities writers, say I. For way better than sci fi is
my tech fi. You don't imagine potentially impossible theory driven
artifacts, but possible artifacts economically possible in current
known or likely known science.THE paper
