Are nanobots on their way?
The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers, researchers describe an early prototype for a nanoassembler. view more (2008-04-29)
Nanomedicine: Grounds for optimism and a call for papers (p 673)
Issue 30 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 29 August 2003. 'Nanomedicine is a discipline whose time has come', states this week's editorial. Nanoscience and the implications for medicine has recently been the focus of the US National Institutes of Health who have highlighted three key areas for the future of nanomedicine: structures... view more...

UC Davis researchers use heated nanoprobes to destroy breast cancer cells in mice
In experiments with laboratory mice that bear aggressive human breast cancers, UC Davis researchers have used hot nanoprobes to slow the growth of tumors — without damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The researchers describe their work in the March issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-03-07)
Breast Cancer Treatment Heats Up
In the March Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers demonstrate that miniscule bioprobes could be produced and used with molecularly targeted therapeutic heat to kill malignant breast cancer cells—without damaging nearby healthy tissue. view more (2007-03-07)
