Under a microscope, the sensors, called microcantilevers, resemble rows of diving boards or spatulas, each vibrating spontaneously. They can be made so thin that 100 would fit snugly inside a human hair. The cantilever is coated on one side with a chemical that specifically binds a target molecule--say, a cancer-related protein or a plastic explosive. When that molecule sticks to it, the cantilever bends and the frequency of its vibration changes, which can be measured by bouncing a laser beam off its surface. Thundat and his team are only months from completing an exquisitely sensitive handheld detector that...
...origins of last year's epidemic in Guangdong, observes, "Everyone certainly thinks this is meaningful. But where is the civet cat in the chain? Are they getting it from another animal?

Arriving visitors walk past sparkling crystal fireplaces and gigantic mirrors, then go upstairs into a three-room gallery that pays homage to Baccarat's almost 200-year history of crystal making. Among the works on display are pieces designed for the 1878 Universal Exhibition, including an ornate enameled Turkish coffee set. There's a huge showcase full of vases, dishes and stemware commissioned by personages ranging from Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan...
