The idea is not new,but the delicate sensing system needed to detect the vibration and measure its frequency is new.European researchers have built a new device that can do just that. It may ultimately allow scientists to study the progress of chemical reactions, molecule by molecule.The new devise is a delicate sensing system needed to detect the vibration and measure its frequency.

         Some nanotubes turn out to be semiconductors, depending on how the graphene sheet is wound, and it is these that offer the solution that CARDEQ has developed.It may then become possible to observe the radioactive decay of a single nucleus and to study other types of quantum mechanical phenomena.
