In a cell culture, it was possible to selectively mark a line of cancer cells with the phosphorescent nanoparticles. The researchers hope that it will be possible to develop contrast agents for the use of optical imaging for tumor detection based on these new metal–organic nanomaterials.
nano tech 2011 International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Conference celebrated its 10th annual event from Feb. 16 to Feb. 18, 2011 in Tokyo.
Carbon Nanotube pioneer Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. has achieved the first-ever AssuredNano® accreditation under a new international scheme to ensure best practice in the safe and responsible production of nanomaterials.
Micromeritics, located in Booth 1230 at Interphex 2011, will not only display a variety of its own products, but also material characterization instrumentation represented by its Particulate Systems brand. With the addition of this brand, Micromeritics currently offers one of broadest ranges of particle characterization instruments and services on the market.
Scientists have developed tiny detectors, referred as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPAD), for counting individual photons on a computer chip. These tiny devices generate a tick sound every time, when they detect a photon and hence, their performance is similar to mini Geiger counters.
