RNA nanostructures chemically modified to be resistant to degradation retain 3D structure and biological activity.
51 years after Richard Feynman envisioned nanoscience in his famous address, “Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” four extraordinary researchers joined in a roundtable discussion of the future of nanoscience.
Robert A. Freitas Jr. has made available his chapter on nanorobotics from the book The Future of Aging.
A significant fraction of small protein sequences designed only to fold into stable structures can substitute for missing natural proteins.
A one-molecule robot capable of following a trail of chemical breadcrumbs will be presented at TEDxCaltech-Feynman’s Vision: The Next 50 Years.
Catalytic nanomotors deliver nanoparticles containing drugs a thousand fold faster than do nanoparticles transported by Browninan motion.
Nanoparticles that deliver two anticancer agents simultaneously kill cancer cells more effectively than nanoparticles delivering the agents separately.
Inspired by the diamond-shaped photonic crystals found in beetle scales, a chemist is trying to build nanostructures using molecular self-assembly to form photonic crystals for use in light-based computers.
Gold nanoparticles carrying nucleic acids into a cell must have the nucleic acids tightly linked via covalent bonds to avoid profound, unanticipated effects on gene expression.
Self assembly of aromatic dipeptide into nanospheres stiffer than Kevlar may make possible printing stronger, lighter body armor.
