Nanotechnology shrinks tumors by targeting two genes

Nanoparticles can introduce two very promising, but easily degraded, therapeutic molecules into a laboratory model of human skin, and together they are much more effective than either is alone is slowing the development of deadly melanoma skin cancer.

Building blocks for nanotechnology from volcanic springs

Organisms that live in extreme environments may provide building blocks for nanotech applications that need to withstand extreme environments.

Research challenges for the diamondoid mechanosynthesis path to advanced nanotechnology

On 5 June 2008, Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing (IMM) submitted to IEEE Spectrum the following response to the article “Rupturing the Nanotech Rapture” by Richard A.L. Jones (IEEE Spectrum, June 2008 issue). Their brief letter is reproduced below because Spectrum has chosen to publish only one of the… Continue reading Research challenges for the diamondoid mechanosynthesis path to advanced nanotechnology

New microscope follows nanotechnology cancer treatment in living mice

A noninvasive Raman microscope has allowed scientists to track carbon nanotubes injected into living mice.

Assembling 3D arrays of nanotubes to integrate nanotechnology and microtechnology

A practical nanotech method for integrating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with existing silicon microtechnology could lead to uses in microelectronics, field emission displays, electronic memory devices and solar cells.

Nanotechnology to soon provide paper stronger than steel for commercial uses

A nanotech material that consists of about 50% carbon nanotubes may soon find wide commercial applications in aerospace and other industries.

Programming cell behavior with RNA nanotechnology

Nanotech applications based upon modules of RNA that bind small molecules to control the catalytic activity of other RNA modules may form the basis for a wide variety of synthetic molecular machines.

Computational nanotechnology designs more efficient material for solar cells

Combining electrically conductive polymers, transition metal atoms, and spin-coating to form thin films could lead to solar cells with two major advantages that would make them more efficient at converting light to electricity.

Functionally connecting protein domains adds to nanotechnology toolbox

Scientists were able to engineer functional communication between two unrelated proteins by taking advantage of the fact that each protein exhibits allosteric regulation.

Structural DNA nanotechnology in living cells

Two basic structural motifs of DNA nanotechnology have been efficiently and inexpensively replicated in bacterial cells.
