Using a biochemical version of a computer chip, a team led by Johns Hopkins researchers has solved a long-standing mystery related to the mating habits of yeast cells.
The findings, described in the Advance Online Pu...
Nanometrics Incorporated has introduced the IVS 185 system, capable of making critical dimension (CD) and overlay measurements using the same metrology recipe while achieving higher productivity. The ultra-low footprint ...
Newbridge Securities Corporation has announced the quarterly rebalancing and reconstitution of its Newbridge Nanotechnology Index. This quarter saw no additions or deletions among the constituents, leaving the total numb...
"Nanotechnology has the potential to generate enormous health benefits for the more than five billion people living in the developing world," according to Dr. Peter A. Singer, senior scientist at the McLaughlin...
Chemists at the University of Liverpool have designed a unique structure to capture the movement of atoms which may impact on future designs of pharmaceuticals.
The research, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sci...
A team of researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder has developed a new technique to generate laser-like X-ray beams, removing a major obstacle in the decades-long quest to build a tabletop X-ray laser that co...
In 2000, Georgia Tech researchers showed that fluid dynamics theory could be modified to work on the nanoscale, albeit in a vacuum. Now, seven years later they've shown that it can be modified to work in the real wor...
By injecting quantum dots into tumors, investigators at Carnegie Mellon University have been able to image sentinel lymph nodes in animals using near-infrared light. These results could lead to a simple, non-invasive met...
Short pieces of RNA, known as small interfering RNA (siRNA), have the potential to become a new class of anticancer drugs if researchers can solve the problem of how to deliver these fragile molecules to cancer cells. On...
Brightly fluorescent quantum dots and quantum rods are quickly becoming important tools for identifying specific molecules and cells in living systems. Two new reports demonstrate some of the ways in which cancer researc...
Stem cell therapy, primarily bone marrow transplantation, plays a key role in treating leukemia and other types of cancer. To better track the fate of stem cells injected into patients, researchers at the Siteman Center ...
Austin, Texas-based Nano-Proprietary, Inc. announced that U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks has issued his ruling granting Nano-Proprietary's motion for summary judgment and ruling that Nano-Proprietary is entitled to t...
Nano Chemical Systems Holdings, Inc., announced today that nano-enhanced, environmentally friendly, "Green" oils and lubricants can be made from a waste by-product of one Palm Biodiesel production process to of...
Paraytec have released a technical application report that discusses how separations in capillaries can be readily integrated with other in-capillary processes such as mixing and reaction, laying the foundations for a ve...
Good times for nanotechnology companies. The Berlin-based Capsulution Nanoscience AG fulfilled its turnover expectations in 2006 with more than 1.3 million euro. In comparison to the year before, the developer of nanotec...
