New technique for the nano-scale study of electrical activity in the cell membrane

Researchers at the Institute for Bioenginneering of Catalonia (IBEC), based at the Barcelona Science Park, and the Milan Polytechnical Institute, have developed a new technique that will allow to determine with detailled accuracy how the cell membrane responds to alternating electrical fields at nanometric scales, an information that opens new doors to research in the fields of cell and molecular biology.The work has been published in the journal NanoLetters under the title: "Quantitative Nanoscale Dielectric Microscopy of Single-Layer Supported Biomembranes" ().
