Chemists Use DNA To Build the World’s Tiniest Antenna – “Like a Two-Way Radio”
Like a two-way radio that can both receive and transmit radio waves, the fluorescent nanoantenna designed by Alexis Vallée-Bélisle and his team receives light in one color and depending on the protein movement it senses, then transmits light back in another color, which we can detect. One of the main innovations of these nanoantennas is…
