nanotimes News in Brief


November in Munich, Germany. The material has sensory properties that can be directly worked or installed into a synthetic component when it is manufactured. This material also meets design requirements.

ce-dependent “barcode” corresponding to a series of local dips and peaks in the intensity trace along the extended molecule. They demonstrate that this structure arises from the physics of local denaturati- on.

This new composite material is a blend of plastic and metal better known as polymer-metal composi- te material, and has its high proportion of metal and a special mixing technique to thank for its excellent sensory properties.

Researchers at McGill University, Canada, Techni- cal University of Denmark, Denmark, Lund Uni- versity, Sweden, and University of Copenhagen, Denmark, explore in PNAS the potential power of denaturation mapping as a single-molecule tech- nique. By partially denaturing YOYO®

Scientists from the Max Planck Society and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing have now succeeded for the first time in elucidating basic principles of the assembly of this transport channel. This is an important starting point for the development of new drugs that might interfere considerably earlier than antibiotics in the course of infection.
