New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells. View More (2005-09-29)
Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts. View More (2007-08-21)
Nanoscopic changes to pancreatic cells reveal cancer
A team of researchers in Chicago has developed a way to examine cell biopsies and detect never-before-seen signs of early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a new paper in the Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters. View More (2009-02-13)
A little magic provides an atomic-level look at bone
A new study using solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyze intact bone paves the way for atomic-level explorations of how disease and aging affect bone. View More (2009-12-03)
New nanoscale imaging may lead to new treatments for multiple sclerosis
Laboratory studies by chemical engineers at UC Santa Barbara may lead to new experimental methods for early detection and diagnosis -- and to possible treatments -- for pathological tissues that are precursors to multiple sclerosis and similar diseases. View More (2011-05-24)
An aerial for light
Austrian physicists report unusual light-metal interaction A team under Professor Franz Aussenegg at the University of Graz in Austria is looking into unusual interactions between light and submicroscopic metal particles. The physicists' findings represent a major advance towards the development of improved data storage media and optical sensors. They also confirmed theoretical predictions and...

Nanotechnology for water purification
Nanotechnology refers to a broad range of tools, techniques and applications that simply involve particles on the approximate size scale of a few to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. View More (2010-07-29)
'Nanodragster' races toward the future of molecular machines
Scientists in Texas are reporting the development of a "nanodragster" that may speed the course toward development of a new generation of futuristic molecular machines. View More (2010-01-07)
Nanoscopic screening process to speed drug discovery
Researchers at Wake Forest University are using nanotechnology to search for new cancer-fighting drugs through a process that could be up to 10,000 times faster than current methods. View More (2008-10-07)
The paths of photons are random -- but coordinated
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have demonstrated that photons (light particles) emitted from light sources embedded in a complex and disordered structure are able to mutually coordinate their paths through the medium. View More (2012-12-21)
Implant jab could solve the misery of back pain
Chronic lower back pain is a major problem for society - behind only headaches as the most common neurological ailment - and is frequently caused by degeneration of the intervertebral disc. View More (2011-05-20)
A crystal clear view of chalk formation
Chalk crystallizes differently from the way we once thought it did. This discovery will allow the development of new scale inhibitors and other materials, and has also consequences for climate change. View More (2009-01-26)
Growing geodesic carbon nanodomes
Researchers analyzing the assembly of graphene (sheets of carbon only one atom thick) on a surface of iridium have found that the sheets grow by first forming tiny carbon domes. View More (2009-10-12)
A recipe for controlling carbon nanotubes
Nanoscopic tubes made of a lattice of carbon just a single atom deep hold promise for delivering medicines directly to a tumor, sensors so keen they detect the arrival or departure of a single electron, a replacement for costly platinum in fuel cells or as energy‐saving transistors and wires.

Researchers create molecular Braille to identify DNA molecules
Researchers at UCLA and New York University have developed a method to detect sequence differences in individual DNA molecules by taking nanoscopic pictures of the molecules themselves. View More (2012-03-28)
Molecules on a string, and why size isn't the only thing that matters for data storage
Molecules of hydrogen are difficult to steer with electric fields because of the symmetrical way that charges are distributed within them. But now researchers at ETH Zurich have found a clever technique to get a grip on the molecules. View More (2009-09-15)
Boston College Researchers discover 2 early stages of carbon nanotube growth
Boston College researchers have discovered two early-stage phases of carbon nanotube growth during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, finding a disorderly tangle of tube growth that ultimately yields to orderly rows of the nanoscopic tubes, according to a report in the latest edition of the journal Nanotechnology.

A quantum (computer) step
A University of Utah physicist took a step toward developing a superfast computer based on the weird reality of quantum physics by showing it is feasible to read data stored in the form of the magnetic "spins" of phosphorus atoms. View More (2006-11-20)
Nature: Smallest Vibration Sensor in the Quantum World
Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. View More (2013-03-18)
Metamaterials with new electromagnetic properties
The development of new types of artificial materials, known as "metamaterials" and with electromagnetic properties not found in nature, is the aim of the Metamorphose Excellence European Network, of which the Public University of Navarre forms part, together with twenty-one other research institutions from 13 European countries.
