A very powerful electron microscope capable of resolving single gold atoms has revealed why some gold nanoparticles work and some don’t.
Nanoparticles that simultaneously deliver water-soluble and water-insoluble drugs might offer an advantage in killing cancer cells that develop resistance to one drug.
News from RIA Novosti of a promising nanotech partnership between Russia and Israel
A new study will trace the movement of nanoparticles through the environment and determine their impact on health and natural systems.
A web of single-crystalline titanium disilicide absorbs light efficiently and may be a useful catalyst to split water.
Adding the ability to target nanotech cancer therapy to the mitochondria within cancer cells renders the treatment more effective.
Add to graphene’s record-breaking strength the discovery that graphene beams are unexpectedly stiff.
The newest addition to the toolkit for using DNA as a nanotech building block is the ability to program the circumference of nanotubes made from DNA.
Government-sponsored discussions of the implications for society of advanced nanotechnology and other emerging technologies have taken place and are ongoing in both the US and Europe. A recent Nanowerk Spotlight written by Michael Berger gives an update of deliberations in Europe and compares and contrasts the US and European approaches. From “Europe and the U.S.… Continue reading US and European approaches to advanced nanotechnology implications compared
Advanced nanotech might benefit if proteins could be arrayed on a surface so that they could be quickly and easily scanned for function or interactions with other molecules.
