Detection of chemical activity on the surface of nanometer-sized platinum particles, which are used as catalysts in the chemical industry, was made possible by focusing infrared light onto a nanometer-sized needle. These measurements showed for the first time how and where chemical activity occurs on the surface of the particles

For the first time, chemical activity was observed on the surface of tiny particles used as catalysts in industrial production

These tiny polymer scaffolds include channels 100 micrometers wide, about the width of a human hair. When live cells are added to the content, the channels serve as artificial blood vessels. By mimicking human tissues of organs such as liver and heart, these scaffolds provide an innovative method for testing new drugs with the aim of reducing their dangerous side effects.
