Measuring pH locally with terahertz spectroscopy

New method to determine a local pH value near a specific site of a biomolecule

24-Nov-2020 - Nowadays, it is easy to determine an average pH for larger quantities of liquid. It is a challenge, however, to define a local pH value. Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have developed a new method to determine a local pH value near a specific site of a biomolecule. A reliable measurement ...

Potential new tool to aid breast cancer surgery

01-Dec-2016 - University of Adelaide researchers have developed an s that distinguishes breast cancer tissue from normal tissue - potentially allowing surgeons to be much more precise when removing breast cancer. The device could help prevent follow-up surgery, currently needed for 15-20% of breast cancer ...
