Novel experiments on cement yield concrete results
Using a brace of the most modern tools of materials research, a team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Northwestern University has shed new light on one of mankind's older construction materials—cement. view more (2007-04-02)
Nanoparticles create biocompatible capsules
An innovative strategy of mixing lipids and nanoparticles to produce new drug and agricultural materials and delivery vehicles has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2006-03-07)
Fishing in the dark
Nanotechnology is a relatively new scientific field that holds immense promise for the future. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, and nanoparticles form the basis of completely new materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, electronic and optical applications. The size and structure of the particles are decisive in regulating the optical,... view more... (1999-09-03)
Scientists advance safety of nanotechnology
Scientists have identified for the first time a mechanism by which nanoparticles cause lung damage and have demonstrated that it can be combated by blocking the process involved, taking a step toward addressing the growing concerns over the safety of nanotechnology. view more (2009-06-11)
Novel 3-D cell culture model shows selective tumor uptake of nanoparticles
A nanoparticle drug delivery system designed for brain tumor therapy has shown promising tumor cell selectivity in a novel cell culture model devised by University of Nottingham scientists. view more (2007-08-23)
Berkeley Researchers Find New Route to Nano Self-Assembly
If the promise of nanotechnology is to be fulfilled, nanoparticles will have to be able to make something of themselves. An important advance towards this goal has been achieved by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) who have found a simple and yet powerfully robust way to induce... view more...

New nanoparticles could revolutionize therapeutic drug discovery
A revolutionary new protein stabilisation technique has been developed by scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) which could lead to 30 per cent more proteins being available as potential targets for drug development - opening up exciting possibilities in drug discovery. view more (2009-06-26)
U-M researchers use nanoparticles to target brain cancer
Tiny particles one-billionth of a meter in size can be loaded with high concentrations of drugs designed to kill brain cancer. view more (2006-11-15)
Gold nanoparticles may pan out as tool for cancer diagnosis
Purdue University researchers have created gold nanoparticles that are capable of identifying marker proteins on breast cancer cells, making the tiny particles a potential tool to better diagnose and treat cancer. view more (2007-08-01)
Clemson bioengineer uses nanoparticles to target drugs
Clemson bioengineer Frank Alexis is designing new ways to target drugs and reduce the chances for side effects. view more (2009-10-09)
Special gold nanoparticles show promise for 'cooking' cancer cells
Researchers are describing a long-awaited advance toward applying the marvels of nanotechnology in the battle against cancer. They have developed the first hollow gold nanospheres - smaller than the finest flecks of dust - that search out and "cook" cancer cells. view more (2009-03-23)
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)
Gold nanoparticles help detect a toxic metal -- mercury
With gold nanoparticles, DNA and some smart chemistry as their tools, scientists at Northwestern University have developed a simple "litmus test" for mercury that eventually could be used for on-the-spot environmental monitoring of bodies of water, such as rivers, streams, lakes and oceans, to evaluate their safety as food and drinking... view more...

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)
Gold nanoparticles, radiation combo may slow Alzheimer's
Chemists in Chile and Spain have identified a new approach for the possible treatment of Alzheimer's disease that they say has the potential to destroy beta-amyloid fibrils and plaque - hypothesized to contribute to the mental decline of Alzheimer's patients. view more (2006-01-05)
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)
