Gold nanostars shuttled to cancer cell nucleus to release drug

Gold nanostars targeted to a protein over-expressed in most cancer cells are shuttled by that protein directly to the cancer cell nucleus where illumination with a laser light releases a drug that deforms the nucleus and kills the cell.

Nanoparticles reduce tumors in clinical trial

Clinical trials in patients with advanced or metastatic tumors using targeted nanoparticles to deliver a standard chemotherapeutic drug showed tumor shrinkage, even in the case of cancers for which that drug is not normally effective.

Fast nanoscale 3D-printing (link to video)

A new two-photon polymerization process enables fast printing of arbitrarily complex three dimensional objects with 100-nanometer resolution.

Nanostructured adhesive can hold up to 700 pounds on glass

A hand-sized adhesive inspired by the skin and tendon morphology of a gecko provides an easily reversible force capable of holding 700 pounds on a glass surface.

Nanotechnology regrows blood vessels after ischemic damage

In a rat model of ischemic damage, nanoparticle delivery of a growth factor and a coreceptor promotes regrowth of damaged blood vessels in seven days.

Faster, less expensive medical diagnostics through nanotechnology

New protein repellent coating enhances the speed of carbon nanotube-based biosensors, pointing the way to faster, cheaper medical diagnostics.

Carbon Nanotubes Help Renewable Energy Industry by Improving Wind Turbine Durability

Composites made with small amounts of multi-walled carbon nanotubes improve wind turbine blades by reducing mass while retaining strength.

Nanotechnology, DNA sequencing, and personalized medicine

Artist’s conception of a nanopore drilled into a layer of graphene to speed up DNA sequencing. One of the greatest promises of near-term nanotechnoloogy is cheaper DNA sequencing to speed the development of personalized medicine. There are not only genetic differences between different patients, but also genetic differences between, for example, different cancers of the… Continue reading Nanotechnology, DNA sequencing, and personalized medicine

Graphene heterostructures may lead to graphene-based computer chips

A field-effect tunneling transistor comprising a vertical heterostructure of atomically thin layers of graphene and boron nitride or molybdenum disulfide may pave the way for computer chips based on graphene nanotechnology.

Current nanotechnology too cool to ignore
