A new data-driven technique, called fingerprint mass spectrometry, provides a method for measuring the mass of individual proteins using nanoscale devices. Caltech scientists have developed a method ...

LA JOLLA, CA – March 28, 2017 – HIV is a master of disguise. The virus uses a shield of sugar molecules, called glycans, to hide from the immune system and block antibodies from attacking it. Now ...

SAN DIEGO, March 13 — Dusting for fingerprints can sometimes alter the prints, erasing valuable forensic clues. Now, chemists say they have developed a new fingerprint visualization technique using ...

Researchers at Iowa State University are looking to expand on the information that can be gathered after the whorls, loops and arches of fingerprints are identified. ISU graduate student in chemistry ...

Imaging buried objects Left: artistic impression of metal spheres buried in small glass beads; centre: conventional ultrasound image; right: the new technology can precisely determine the positions of ...

A method to analyze the glycan shield on HIV's protective outer glycoprotein has been developed as a potential HIV vaccine candidate, report scientists. HIV is a master of disguise. The virus uses a ...

When a man was found dead in his vehicle last month in La Plata Canyon, investigators used a tried-and-true method to identify him: fingerprinting. Authorities had good reason to believe they knew the ...

In Caltech's new fingerprint technique, a single molecule adsorbs onto the phononic crystal resonator device. Then scientists measure the frequency shifts of four different vibrational modes of the ...
