        Study of the FDA's ability to regulate nanotechnology-based dietary supplements to be released

        How well prepared is the FDA to regulate nanotech products? Perhaps not very well, at least in the area of dietary supplements.

        Tunneling electrons could power nanotechnology

        Molecular dynamics simulations show that electron tunneling through nanoscale rotary motors based on carbon nanotube shafts may enable nanotech motors to rotate more than a million times faster than their biological counterparts.

        Nanotechnology advance toward individualized cancer treatments

        The effectiveness of treatment with multifunctional nanoparticles was studied using human breast tumors grown in rats lacking an immune system so that the variation in the effectiveness of treatment could be compared among individual breast tumors.

        NanoPhobia … Phobia

        In an interesting coincidence and counterpoint to Jim’s Nanophobia post this morning, I ran across the following on Nature News: Fearing the fear of nanotechnology. It is, surprisingly perhaps, by our old friend Richard Jones. The thrust of the article is that a study in Nature Nanotechnology seems to show that the public’s reaction to… Continue reading NanoPhobia … Phobia

        Uncertainty over safety of nanotechnology in consumer products

        It is not clear that there is any real danger from the nanotech products currently in use, but neither is there convincing proof that all are safe.

        Foresight — with Peripheral Vision: Nanotech & AI forecast from Josh Hall

        Josh Hall, author of Nanofuture: What’s Next for Nanotechnology, sends this message to Nanodot readers: Dear Foresight members & friends, It’s the time of year when many of you are renewing your Foresight memberships, and helping us meet our $30,000 goal for our Challenge Grant by December 31: https://foresight.org/challenge I believe that the next decade… Continue reading Foresight — with Peripheral Vision: Nanotech & AI forecast from Josh Hall

        A better raincoat through nanotechnology

        A nanotech technique that can coat any number of common fabrics with a layer of silicone nanofilaments appears ready to produce durable, completely waterproof clothing.

        Centralized approach of Russia's nanotechnology program

        Michael Berger at Nanowerk has compared the centralized strategy of Russia’s new nanotechnology program with the national nanotech strategies of other countries.

        Nanotechnology to benefit from high-temperature superconducting nanowires

        Nanowires that are superconducting above liquid nitrogen temperature have been produced for the first time, and their properties vary according to the diameter of the nanowires.

        Nanotechnology delivers lethal dose of drug to prostate cancer cells

        In laboratory tests, nanoparticles that include a small molecule of nucleic acid that binds to a target molecule on prostate cancer cells were used to carry a lethal dose of the drug into the cancer cells without affecting cells lacking the cancer-specific target.
