DNA nanotechnology provides an improved tweezers

Re-engineering a simple nanotech device to make it more functional, Chinese scientists have developed an improved DNA tweezers that is able to capture, hold, and release a target molecule in a controlled manner.

Biomineralization may show nanotechnology how to align atoms in regular arrays with unusual morphologies

A better understanding of how biomineralization converts ordinary minerals to biological mineral structures with extraordinary hardness and fracture resistance may lead to superhard materials for nanotech applications.

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.

New microscope follows nanotechnology cancer treatment in living mice

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

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.

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.

Cut-and-paste single molecule nanotechnology using DNA

A group of German scientists have developed a new slant on DNA nanotechnology by using atomic force microscopy to assemble a DNA scaffold on a surface to which molecular building blocks can then bind.

Nanotechnology delivers suicide gene to pancreatic cancer cells

Combining a nanotech method of getting genes inside cancer cells with genetic engineering of a potent suicide gene driven by control signals that are very active only in cancer cells effectively killed cell lines derived from pancreatic cancer.
