New method for single cell analysis may improve cancer treatment
A collaboration between Danish and American researchers has resulted in the development of a new method that enables the measurement of enzyme activities in individual human cells. This method can be used to measure how cell-to-cell variation in tumours affects the overall response to chemotherapy and thus clarify some of the molecular causes of…

A new spin on topological insulator surfaces
A European team of researchers headed by Aarhus physicist Phillip Hofmann has discovered that properties of the so-called topological insulator bismuth selenide could provide the solution to how a ground-breaking new computing technology called ‘spintronics’ can work at room temperature. This is a solution scientists have been waiting for ever…
