Artificial organelles: nanotechnology beyond simple drug delivery

The same nanotech approaches being explored to deliver drugs exactly to the cells where they are needed also provide a technology base that might lead to permanent enhancements of human metabolism.

Nanotechnology combines multiple molecules of drug to prevent HIV infection

Attaching 12 molecules of an HIV drug to a gold nanoparticle enabled the drug to prevent HIV infection in cultured patient cells.

Kavli prize honors nanotechnology researchers

Two researchers were rewarded with the 2008 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience for their pioneering discoveries of quantum dots and carbon nanotubes.

Nanotechnology demonstration of room-temperature graphene transistors

In yet another step toward making nanotech transistors from graphene nanoribbons, chemically-prepared graphene nanoribbons less than 10 nm wide were found to be uniformly room-temperature, field-effect transistors.

Nanotechnology builds artificial virus for possible therapeutic use

Filament-shaped artificial viruses show promise in delivering genetic materials and other molecules into cultured human cells.

A golden crown for nanotechnology

Chinese scientists have recently built an atomically precise structure directed by bonds between gold atoms—a crown of 36 gold atoms coordinating surrounding organic molecules.

Nanotechnology proposed for real-time monitoring of biohazard infections

Current nanotech capabilities have been incorporated into a proposed architecture for medical nanorobots to control epidemic diseases.

Nanotechnology could revolutionize diagnostics

A nanotech barcode could revolutionize medical diagnostics by providing a very sensitive method of counting individual messenger RNA molecules.

Nanotechnology: adding graphene to make superior polymers

Nanotech materials useful for a wide variety of applications may result from the discovery that adding very small amounts of graphene to polymers greatly increases the desirable properties of the polymers.

Nanotechnology makes radiation therapy of cancer more effective

A nanotech approach to overcoming the resistance of some cancer cells to radiation therapy has been successfully tested in mice.
