Scientists study bacterial cells in the photo-emission spectrum
(PHYSorg.com Nanotechnology)

A team of Russian scientists working in cooperation with international colleagues used a new method combining visual microscopic observations and photoemission spectrum registration that can be used to create a map of the physical and chemical state of a cell surface. The team studied the cells of the colon bacillus Escherichia coli that are a promising material for the development of nature-like technologies. The study was supported with a grant of the Russian Science Foundation, and the article about it was published in the Results in Physics journal.
