Starting with simple carbon nanotubes, a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Spain has developed a sugar-coated nanocapsule that can deliver large doses of radioactivity to tumors.
Virtually every study that uses nanoparticles to deliver drugs and imaging agents to tumors starts by loading the clinical payload into the nanoparticle and then injecting the resulting delivery agent into the body.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created magnetic nanoparticles that can selectively bind to and remove ovarian tumor cells from abdominal cavity fluid.
UC Davis biomedical engineer has developed a "lab on a chip" device for HIV testing. Revzin's microfluidic device uses antibodies to "capture" white blood cells called T cells that are affected by HIV.
As a sign of aging or in a suit, wrinkles are almost never welcome, but two papers in the current issue of Physical Review Letters offer some perspective on what determines their size and shape in soft materials.
New research accepted by the Journal of Molecular Recognition confirms that a revolutionary technology developed at Wake Forest University will slash years off the time it takes to develop drugs ? bringing vital new treatments to patients much more quickly.
University of Illinois engineers have developed a novel direct-writing method for manufacturing metal interconnects that could shrink integrated circuits and expand microelectronics.
Cooperation between semiconductor manufacturers, materials and equipment suppliers and researchers has ensured that the European microelectronics industry can continue to maintain its global position in consumer electronics product design and manufacture.
Formed a new joint venture company to build the world's first one metric ton per day commercial-scale nanocrystalline cellulose demonstration plant at the Domtar Windsor, Quebec pulp and paper mill site.
Nano in Action
'Fore' No More?
Nanotechnology helps golf balls fly straighter. Nanotechnology is helping golf
balls correct their own flight path so they fly straighter than conventional
golf balls. Exciting nanotechnology advances better channel the power from
the club head to reduce slices and fades.
