Protein Folding: One Picture Per Millisecond Illuminates The Process
August 6th, 2008KITA-spectroscopy (Kinetic Terahertz Absorption Spectroscopy) was applied to protein folding with a resolution of one picture per millisecond.
Recent News & Anouncements:
TeraView is granted its 50th patent
July 23rd, 2008Recent patents cover areas such as terahertz imaging of pharmaceutical tablets and high performance terahertz sources.
Shimmering ferroelectric domains
July 17th, 2008The scientists tuned the free electron laser to a frequency which was in resonance with the atomic motion in the bariumtitanate (near 18 Terahertz). Then they shone the invisible laser beam onto a sharp needle (the tip of an atomic force microscope), moving across the sample surface. Finally they measured the light that was scattered away from the needle with a resolution better than 200 nanometers, which is hundred times smaller than the wavelength of the light.
