Targeting analysis of biological particles with large aspect ratios, such as viruses or fibrils, CEA scientists have demonstrated a breakthrough in single-particle mass spectrometry (MS) that could fast track the detection of viral particles in hospitals, offices, airplanes and other public places. Nano-electromechanical sensors measure the mass of nano-objects inaccessible to conventional mass-spectrometry. They can ...
