Laser Surgery Probe Targets Individual Cancer Cells
Mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Adela Ben-Yakar at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a laser "microscalpel" that destroys a single cell while leaving nearby cells intact, which could improve the precision of surgeries for cancer, epilepsy and other diseases.   view more (2008-06-25)

Nanoscale silver: No silver lining?
Widespread use of nanoscale silver will challenge regulatory agencies to balance important potential benefits against the possibility of significant environmental risk, highlighting the need to identify research priorities concerning this emerging technology, according to a new report released today by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies... view more...

UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules.   view more (2007-07-11)

Nano-cages 'fill up' with hydrogen
A "cagey" strategy to stack more hydrogen in nanoscale scaffoldings made of zinc-based boxes may yield a viable approach to storing hydrogen and, ultimately, replacing fossil fuels in future automobiles, according to new results from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers.   view more (2005-12-02)

FDA Nanotechnology Task Force takes positive step forward
Today's report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Nanotechnology Task Force is an important and positive step forward in the agency's effort to tackle the new scientific and regulatory challenges posed by nanotechnology.   view more (2007-07-26)

NYU physicists find way to explore microscopic systems through holographic video
Physicists at New York University have developed a technique to record three-dimensional movies of microscopic systems, such as biological molecules, through holographic video.   view more (2009-07-21)

On a Wire or in a Fiber, a Wave is a Wave
In an experiment modeled on the classic "Young's double slit experiment" and published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers have powerfully reinforced the understanding that surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagate and diffract just like any other wave.   view more (2007-07-16)

Researchers Discover a Potential On-Off Switch for Nanoelectronics
As electronic circuits shrink from finely etched lines in silicon wafers to nearly elusive proportions, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Columbia University are studying how electrons flow through a molecular junction-a nanometer scale circuit element that contacts gold atoms... view more...

Nanotech Research Featured in Nature Nanotechnology Journal
Using an RNA-powered nanomotor, University of Cincinnati (UC) biomedical engineering researchers have successfully developed an artificial pore able to transmit nanoscale material through a membrane.   view more (2009-09-29)

New technique measures chemical composition of tiny details
The method which the Eindhoven have developed is based on the radiation emitted by an object when it is irradiated by a beam of electrons. The measurable phenomenon occurs because the electrons in the beam collide with electrons in the atoms making up the object so that they enter an excited state. When the electrons return to the free state, with... view more... (2000-01-18)

New advance in revolutionary 'bullet fingerprinting' technique
'Bullet fingerprinting' technology developed at the University of Leicester in collaboration with Northamptonshire Police is now being advanced in new ways.   view more (2009-07-13)

Harvard scientists bend nanowires into 2-D and 3-D structures
Taking nanomaterials to a new level of structural complexity, scientists have determined how to introduce kinks into arrow-straight nanowires, transforming them into zigzagging two- and three-dimensional structures with correspondingly advanced functions.   view more (2009-10-22)

New microscope boost for UK nanotechnology research
A powerful new microscope, currently available only in three universities in Europe and the USA, will position Britain as a leading centre for nanomaterials, researchers announce today.   view more (2004-12-14)

Spallation Neutron Source gets initial go-ahead on second target
The U.S. Department of Energy has given its initial approval to begin plans for a second target station for the Spallation Neutron Source, expanding what is already the world's most powerful pulsed neutron scattering facility located at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.   view more (2009-01-20)

Natural deep earth pump fuels earthquakes and ore
For the first time scientists have discovered the presence of a natural deep earth pump that is a crucial element in the formation of ore deposits and earthquakes.   view more (2009-06-18)

Nanomicroscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer.   view more (2007-02-06)

'Prettier world' of computer modeling provides key details, says Sandia researcher
Taking issue with the perception that computer models lack realism, a Sandia National Laboratories researcher told his audience that simulations of the nanoscale provide researchers more detailed results—not less—than experiments alone.   view more (2006-06-14)

A potent and selective anti-tumor agent on human gastric cancer
A research article to be published on June 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question.   view more (2009-06-29)

Nanoscale microscope sheds first light on gene repair
Proteins called H2AX act as "first aid" to DNA, among other roles. For the first time, scientists using the world's most powerful light microscope (the only one of its kind in the Americas) have seen how H2AX is distributed in the cell nucleus: in clusters, directing the first aid/repair after DNA injuries to the region where it is... view more...
