The next big thing in mass spectrometry Researchers have used quadrupole time-of-flight native MS to investigate intact capsids from a bacteriophage. While there is theoretically no upper limit on the mass of a particle that might be analyzed, the work is far from trivial in breaking the record.  |

Fireproof coatings made from DNA Researchers have used DNA, extracted from herring sperm, to fireproof samples of cotton, and have found its performance to be on a par with commercially manufactured materials. The flame retardant industry is big business, but many of the chemicals used are hazardous to the environment.  |
