Could all-natural materials be used to make antimicrobial dressings for open, infected wounds? A PhD research project conducted at CEA-Leti, CERMAV, and LGP2 investigated precisely this kind of environmentally-friendly dressing for inpatient care scenarios, and the findings were encouraging. The dressings studied here were made from nanocellulose obtained from wood. The material can take the […] >>

CEA-Leti and Irig are developing a mass spectrometry-based technique to “nanoweigh” viruses. And extremely accurate nanoresonators could expand the potential uses for the technique. CEA-Leti and Irig researchers were able to detect and weigh individual biological particles (from several megadaltons to a gigadalton). The technique was effective on bullet-shaped viruses like rabies and Ebola and […] >>
