Nanosize Device Noninvasively Assesses Cell's Electric Field
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13, 2022 — A nano-size, organic molecular device that can detect and manipulate its surrounding bioelectric field opens possibilities in biophotonics, specifically in wound healing and in the fight against diseases. The triangle-shaped device is made of two small, connected molecules that, together, are much smaller than a virus and similar in diameter to a DNA strand. A chain of carbon atoms links the two molecules, which each harness their own function. One molecule, called the
