Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable biomarker sensors for quickly detecting proteins in bodily fluids, eliminating the need to send samples out to lab centers for testing. "Our work provides a proof-of-concept showing a path to a single-step method that could be used to identify and measure nucleic acids and proteins," says Paul Rothemund (BS '94), a visiting associate at Caltech in computing and mathematical sciences, and computation and neural systems. A paper describing the work recently appeared in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead authors of the paper are former Caltech postdoctoral scholar Byoung-jin Jeon and current graduate student Matteo M. Guareschi, who completed the work in Rothemund's lab.

i was just looking around the rate my professor for caltech… just for fun…

bro why does this fictional character have more ratings than any real faculty 😭 like most of them just have 1 or 2

should i give in to the hype and watch big bang theory???? 🤨

Chemists succeed in upscaling a common reagent for industrial level applications

The metallic element samarium, when bound with other elements, is an incredibly useful chemical reagent for synthesizing molecules that can lead to new pharmaceuticals. Discovered in a Russian mine in 1879, the element was named after the mineral it was found in, called samarskite, which itself was named after Russian mining engineer Vassili Samarsky-Bykhovets. The most common samarium reagent is samarium diiodide, which consists of one atom of samarium and two atoms of the element iodine. But scaling up this versatile reagent to quantities large enough to be used in industrial settings has proved challenging. "The reagent is air sensitive, so you often have to prepare the solution fresh, right before the reaction," says Caltech graduate student Chungkeun Shin, who works in the lab of Sarah Reisman, Bren Professor of Chemistry and the Norman Davidson Leadership Chair of Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
