A new MIT microchip system promises to speed up the separation and sorting of biomolecules such as proteins. The work is important because it could help scientists better detect certain molecules, or biomarkers, associat...
A novel approach to synthesizing nanowires (NWs) allows their direct integration with microelectronic systems for the first time, as well as their ability to act as highly sensitive biomolecule detectors that could revol...
A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. In a collaborative investigation performed by an experimental team and a theoretical p...
A new process for creating patterns of individual molecules on a surface combines control of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and a soft-lithography technique known as microcontact printing. Scientists use the process, k...
NanoMed Pharmaceuticals has announced that it has achieved its preclinical development milestone for the company's lead oncology product which is intended to overcome multidrug resistance in remission induction thera...
NanoLogix will hold an informational meeting in Sarasota, Florida on February 12, 2007. Although the company has distributed proxies to NNLX shareholders, the company intends to utilize the February meeting solely to inc...
"China is betting that their growing investment in nanoscience will help them capture a large share of what shortly will become a $3 trillion global market in nanotech manufactured goods, and that breakthroughs in n...
The layers of mucus that protect sensitive tissue throughout the body have an undesirable side effect: they can also keep helpful medications away. To overcome this hurdle, investigators at Johns Hopkins University have ...
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created a new type of nanoparticle that could be used in tests for medical diagnostics, environmental pollution, and contamination of food products. The particles,...
Using a novel polymer that becomes unstable under the pH conditions inside tumor cells, investigators at Singapore’s Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have developed a core-shell nanoparticle targeted ...
Though there is little doubt that nanoscale devices are going to play a critical role in improving cancer detection and treatment over the next five to ten years, nanoparticles are already having a major impact on the wa...
Bigger may be better, but tinier is stronger. So say scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, who have shown that tiny polymer nanofibers become much stronger when their diameters shrink below a certain...
Nanoscale magnets in the form of iron-containing molecules might be used to improve the contrast between healthy and diseased tissue in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - as long as the concentration of nanomagnets is ca...
Exhibits depicting NASA’s plans for a sustainable lunar outpost will be the featured centerpiece at nanoTX’07, event organizers have now revealed after months of planning. The exhibits will graphically show i...
Greenyarn, a Boston nanotech startup developing advanced fabrics for consumers seeking eco-friendly alternatives to conventional materials, is now manufacturing and selling “Eco-fabric fleece throws" or SmartF...
