Single DNA-molecules interacting fast!

Congratulations to Sjoerd Nooteboom for achieving a difficult goal: he probed the binding kinetics of single DNA molecules on microsecond timescales using single gold particles as nanoantenna. He engineered the size and shape of the nanoantenna, as well as its surface chemistry, to achieve a record-high fluorescence intensity.
