Over the last several years scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have been studying how to make nanomotors move around when suspended in a liquid. In 2012 a team of scientists from Penn State first observed that metal nanorods would rotate in response to ultrasound, but the reason why has baffled scientists since its discovery. The research conduct by the NIST could now offer new insight and applications inside the human body.
This article discusses some of the currently used techniques in the characterization of magnetic materials.
According to the World Health Organization, cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for 8.2 million deaths in 2012. Researchers from Imperial College London have recently developed a self-assembling nanoparticle which could improve MRI detection of cancer cells.

Nanotechnology experienced a huge surge 30 years ago when a formation of carbon atoms shaped like a soccer ball was created, which became known as a buckyball. The discoverers were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1996 and the windfall of publicity that followed helped nanotechnology explode into technologists' interests across the world.

Diabetes is a condition which has rapidly become a major health issue in today's society. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) suggest that diabetes will become the 7th most common cause of death by 2030. To try and combat this, researchers from Stanford University have developed a new microchip incorporating nanotechnology to help detect type-1 diabetes outside of traditional hospital based tests.
