Dr. Eann Patterson's recent paper on nanotechnology has been selected as 'Paper of the Month' by the Nano2Life Network of Excellence. It was coauthored with Maurice P. Whelan of the European Commission DG Joint Research Center, Nanotechnology and Molecular Imaging Unit. This paper, entitled "Tracking Nanoparticles in an Optical Microscope using Caustics" provides a new, simple and inexpensive method for visualizing the formation of self-assembled monolayers and the interaction of nanoparticles with chemically functionalized surfaces.
