Bucky's brother -- The boron buckyball makes its debut
A new study by Rice University scientists predicts the existence and stability of another "buckyball" consisting entirely of boron atoms. view more (2007-04-24)
Slow Electrons are "killing" Ozone
Outstanding new discoveries in ion physics Innsbruck/Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Tilmann M'Īrk from the Institute of Ion Physics at the University of Innsbruck and his team have, with the support of the Austrian Science Fund, developed unique methods and equipment to examine the interaction of... view more (2001-10-15)
Repetitive motion speeds nanoparticle uptake
Newly published research by Rice University chemists and North Carolina State University toxicologists finds that repetitive movement can speed the uptake of nanoparticles through the skin. view more (2007-01-05)
Buckyballs boost antibody's chemotherapy payload
In the ongoing search for better ways to target anticancer drugs to kill tumors without making people sick, researchers find that nanoparticles called buckyballs might be used to significantly boost the payload of drugs carried by tumor-targeting antibodies. view more (2006-06-22)
Manufactured Buckyballs don't harm microbes that clean the environment
Even large amounts of manufactured nanoparticles, also known as Buckyballs, don't faze microscopic organisms that are charged with cleaning up the environment, according to Purdue University researchers. view more (2008-04-09)
Purdue simulation to help merge molecules with silicon electronics
Engineers at Purdue University have created a nanotech simulation tool that shows how current flows between silicon atoms and individual molecules to help researchers design "molecular electronic" devices for future computers and advanced sensors. view more (2005-08-18)
Gadonanotubes greatly outperform existing MRI contrast agents
Researchers at Rice University, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland have created a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are at least 40 times more effective... view more (2005-08-12)
CBEN: Buckyball aggregates are soluble, antibacterial
In some of the first research to probe how buckyballs will interact with natural ecosystems, Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology finds that the molecules spontaneously clump together upon contact with water, forming nanoparticles that are both soluble and toxic... view more (2005-06-23)
Nobel winner meets 2000 Japanese simultaneously
In what is the largest webcasting experiment of its kind, Professor Harry Kroto will be holding a workshop with nearly 2500 Japanese children and teachers simultaneously over the Web. Winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize for chemistry and co-founder of the Vega Science Trust, Sir Harry will be discussing... view more (2001-11-02)
Nanomaterials vulnerable to dispersal in natural environment
Laboratory experiments with a type of nanomaterial that has great promise for industrial use show significant potential for dispersal in aquatic environments - especially when natural organic materials are present. view more (2006-12-19)
Never-before-made material similar to diamonds and ice, says UH professor
Not since the use of germanium in the first transistor radios and the discovery of its crucial role in semiconductor research more than 50 years ago has the study of this element garnered so much attention. view more (2006-11-29)
Computer simulation shows buckyballs deform DNA
Soccer-ball-shaped "buckyballs" are the most famous players on the nanoscale field, presenting tantalizing prospects of revolutionizing medicine and the computer industry. view more (2005-12-06)
Stengthening the glow of nanotube luminescence
Nanotubes are the poster children of the nanotechnology revolution. These tiny carbon tubes - less than 1/50,000 the diameter of a human hair - possess novel properties that have researchers excitedly exploring dozens of potential applications ranging from transistors to space elevators. view more (2005-11-15)
Quantum Evolution - The New Science of Life
A clue to understanding life is the realisation that its dynamics are different than those that rule the non-living. For inanimate objects, the dynamics we see are the product of the disordered motion of billions of particles; they are a kind of average dynamics. At the macroscopic level we see... view more (2000-01-31)
Research Team Is First to Model Photochemical Compass for Bird Navigation
A team of researchers at Arizona State University and the University of Oxford are the first to model a photochemical compass that may simulate how migrating birds use light and Earth's weak magnetic field to navigate. view more (2008-05-01)
