TUM Scientists Use Nanostructures to Protect Mortar from Moisture

Moisture can destroy mortar over time – for example when cracks form as a result of frost. A team of scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has found an unusual way to protect mortar from moisture: When the material is being mixed, they add a biofilm – a soft, moist substance produced by bacteria.

Nanoparticles Could be Used to Target Bone Cancers in Large Mammals

At the University of Illinois, an engineer teamed up with a veterinarian to test a bone cancer drug delivery system in animals bigger than the standard animal model, the mouse. They chose dogs – mammals closer in size and biology to humans – with naturally occurring bone cancers, which also are a lot like human bone tumors.

Researchers Develop a Nanoencapsulation for Oil-Degrading Bacteria

Bionanotechnology research is focused on functional structures synergistically integrating a broad range of nanomaterials with multicellular assemblies, cells, or macromolecules. When micrometer-sized cells are provided with miniature nanodevices, it expands the application of the cultured microorganisms and requires nanoassembly on every single live cell.
