Hunting for small molecules: the drawing depicts the experimental setup that was used to detect small molecules, such as those commonly found in drugs (green) and their binding to the receptors located on the outer surface of the cell membrane (yellow). These events can be imaged with the help of ordinary optical microscopy - subtle deformations in the structure of the cell membrane caused by the binding and dissociation of the small molecules - are translated into visible changes within the light intensity.

2. Imaging image. Right: Schematic drawing of the various sensing operations of the platform - touch, heat and volatile particles. Left: photograph and diagram of the chemical resistor; Below: the different parts of the sensor (substrate, electrode and the nanometer sensing layer) before and after a directed scratch. Within 10 minutes the sensor begins to repair itself and return to normal work. Courtesy of Prof. Hosem Haik, Technion
