Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwich
The sandwich recipe recently concocted by scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may prove tasty for computer chip designers, who have long had an appetite for molecule-sized electronic components - but no clear way to satisfy it until now.   view more (2009-08-27)

Nanoparticles + light = dead tumor cells
Medical physicists at the University of Virginia have created a novel way to kill tumor cells using nanoparticles and light.   view more (2008-07-30)

Nanoparticles can track cells deep within living organisms
To the delight of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, living cells gobbled up fluorine-laced nanoparticles without needing any coaxing. Then, because of the unusual meal, the cells were easily located with MRI scanning after being injected into mice.   view more (2007-03-27)

Homing nanoparticles pack multiple assault on tumors
A collaborative team led by Erkki Ruoslahti, M.D., Ph.D., of the Burnham Institute for Medical Research at UC Santa Barbara (Burnham) has developed nanoparticles that seek out tumors and bind to their blood vessels, and then attract more nanoparticles to the tumor target.   view more (2007-01-09)

MIT implant measures tumor growth, treatment
A tiny implant now being developed at MIT could one day help doctors rapidly monitor the growth of tumors and the progress of chemotherapy in cancer patients.   view more (2006-12-19)

Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles.   view more (2005-09-01)

Magnetic nano-'shepherds' organize cells
The power of magnetism may address a major problem facing bioengineers as they try to create new tissue -- getting human cells to not only form structures, but to stimulate the growth of blood vessels to nourish that growth.   view more (2009-04-01)

New JILA apparatus measures fast nanoscale motions
A new nanoscale apparatus developed at JILA—a tiny gold beam whose 40 million vibrations per second are measured by hopping electrons—offers the potential for a 500-fold increase in the speed of scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), perhaps paving the way for scientists to watch atoms vibrate in high definition in real time.   view more (2007-03-19)

Nanoparticle synthesis allows particle size and shape to be tailored to end applications
Nanomaterials are increasingly gaining the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the public due to their unique properties which endear them to new and exciting applications.   view more (2005-11-30)

New data hint at oncoming cocaine epidemic
Like some drug déjà vu, cocaine use is once again on the rise among students and the rich and famous, a trend University of Florida researchers say likely signals a recurring epidemic of abuse.   view more (2006-10-18)

New blood tests aid detection of latent tuberculosis
Thanks to the availability of two new blood tests called T-SPOT.TB and QuantiFERON-TB Gold, physicians around the world can better detect latent tuberculosis (TB) infection.   view more (2006-10-02)

ANALYTICA 2004: Biochip Helps Avoid Allergic Reactions
Within the EU project "CD-CHEF" the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) is involved in the development of a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. As a disposable chip the biosensor permits the standardised extraction and analysis of food samples. At Analytica, the experts from Mainz present a first functional model which... view more...

Nanotechnology study will address concerns about nanoparticle safety
The Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering study on nanotechnology will address concerns about the safety of nanoparticles, Professor Ann Dowling, the chair of the working group, said today (30 September 2003), as an update report outlining how the study will progress was published. The study will also consider other potential benefits and... view more... (2003-09-29)

Combination gene therapy delivered in lipid-based nanoparticles drastically reduces the number and size of human non-small cell lung cancer tumors in mice.   view more (2007-01-15)

Nanoparticles cross blood-brain barrier to enable 'brain tumor painting'
Brain cancer is among the deadliest of cancers. It's also one of the hardest to treat.   view more (2009-08-04)

Rice study: 'nanostars' could be ultra-sensitive chemical sensors
New optics research from Rice University's Laboratory for Nanophotonics suggests that tiny gold particles called nanostars could become powerful chemical sensors.   view more (2006-04-19)

New contrast agents may be on horizon for better medical imaging
Research by scientists based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign may lead to the development of a new breed of "multimodal" contrast agents that could work within a host of medical imaging platforms — from ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) to magnetic resonance imaging and molecular imaging.   view more (2006-06-08)

Growing whiskers that won`t need shaving
As manufacturers try to incorporate more and more functions into electronic gadgets like mobile phones and laptop computers, and at the same time decrease their size, the need for smaller electronic circuit components increases. At the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors in Edinburgh on Thursday 1 August, Prof Lars... view more... (2002-07-23)
