Nanoscale molecular platform used to recognise proteins from the influenza virus

Neutron reflectometry is a technique used for measuring the thickness and composition of materials on the nanoscale (between 1 to 100 nanometers or 0.000001 mm to 0.0001 mm) and is particularly useful for multi-layered processes at the surface level.
