Magnetic nano-'shepherds' organize cells
The power of magnetism could be an enabling technology to 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 their growth. view more (2009-04-01)
New silver nanoparticle skin gel for healing burns
Scientists in India are reporting successful laboratory tests of a new and potentially safer alternative to silver-based gels applied to the skin of burn patients to treat infections. With names like silver sulfadiazine and silver nitrate, these germ-fighters save lives and speed healing. view more (2009-07-23)

An innovative and inexpensive way of making nanomaterials on a large scale has resulted in novel forms of advanced materials that pave the way for exceptional and unexpected optical properties. view more (2007-10-08)
Nontoxic nanoparticle can deliver and track drugs
A nontoxic nanoparticle developed by Penn State researchers is proving to be an all-around effective delivery system for both therapeutic drugs and the fluorescent dyes that can track their delivery. view more (2008-11-19)
Test finds manufactured nanoparticles don't harm soil ecology
The first published study on the environmental impact of manufactured nanoparticles on ordinary soil showed no negative effects, which is contrary to concerns voiced by some that the microscopic particles could be harmful to organisms. view more (2007-03-23)
Newly discovered reactions from an old drug may lead to new antibiotics
A mineral found at health food stores could be the key to developing a new line of antibiotics for bacteria that commonly cause diarrhea, tooth decay and, in some severe cases, death. view more (2009-06-02)
Cool! Nanoparticle research points to energy savings
Adding just the right dash of nanoparticles to standard mixes of lubricants and refrigerants could yield the equivalent of an energy-saving chill pill for factories, hospitals, ships, and others with large cooling systems, suggest the latest results from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) research that is pursuing promising... view more...

New Methods for Screening Nanoparticles
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a screening method to examine how newly made nanoparticles - particles with dimensions on the order of billionths of a meter - interact with human cells following exposure for various times and doses. view more (2006-08-22)
Novel technique changes lymph node biopsy, reduces radiation exposure in breast cancer patients
Information obtained from a new application of photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is worth its weight in gold to breast cancer patients. view more (2009-01-14)
Implant bacteria, beware: Researchers create nano-sized assassins
Staphylococcus epidermidis is quite an opportunist. Commonly found on human skin, the bacteria pose little danger. But S. epidermidis is a leading cause of infections in hospitals. view more (2009-06-26)
UCSB researchers develop drug delivery system using nanoparticles and lasers
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a new way to deliver drugs into cancer cells by exposing them briefly to a non-harmful laser. view more (2009-09-10)
Metals Shape Up with a Little Help from Friends
For 5,000 years the only way to shape metal has been by the "heat and beat" technique. Even with modern nanotechnology, metalworking involves carving metals with electron beams or etching them with acid. view more (2008-07-01)
NIST demos industrial-grade nanowire device fabrication
In the growing catalog of nanoscale technologies, nanowires-tiny rows of conductor or semiconductor atoms-have attracted a great deal of interest for their potential to build unique atomic-scale electronics. view more (2007-10-29)
In Nature, Proteins Sweep up Nanoparticles
Here's a pollution-control tip from nature: Deep inside a flooded mine in Wisconsin, scientists from several institutions including the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a world in which bacteria emit proteins that sweep up metal nanoparticles into immobile clumps. view more (2007-06-18)
Using magnetism to turn drugs on and off
Many medical conditions, such as chronic pain, cancer and diabetes, require medications that cannot be taken orally, but must be dosed intermittently, on an as-needed basis, over a long period of time. view more (2009-09-21)
Indian Physics Association - R D Birla Memorial Award & M M Chugani Memorial Award
R D Birla Memorial Award The Indian Physics Association announces the awardees for its prestigious R D Birla Memorial Award for the year 2002. The awards are given biennially (once in two years). The R D Birla Award is given for the excellence in pure physics and carries a citation, gold medal and cash of Rs: 50,000/-. This year it is awarded... view more... (2003-10-30)
