Catching individual molecules in a million with optical antennas inside nano-boxes ( ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences ) Detecting one individual biomolecule amongst millions of other neighboring molecules has been technically impossible until now. Scientists at the Fresnel Institute and ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences have devised the smallest optical device capable of detecting and sensing individual biomolecules at concentrations that are similar to those ...
