Using a geologist’s imaging tool, researchers have made unprecedented high-resolution images of how carbon atoms from glucose are integrated into brain cells, providing new insight and opening new doors into the fate of glucose in the brain.
Nanoco Group plc, a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, announces it has signed a further follow-on joint development agreement with Osram, one of the world’s largest lighting companies, in connection with the use of Nanoco cadmium-free quantum dots in lighting.
Using computational modeling, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the Colorado School of Mines and the University of California, Davis have come up with a design for a better liposome. Their findings, while theoretical, could provide the basis for efficiently constructing new vehicles for nanodrug delivery.
Nanomachines – including nano-sized motors, rockets and even cars – are many orders of magnitude smaller than a human cell, but they have huge promise. In the future, they could deliver drugs anywhere in the body, clean up oil spills and might even be used as artificial muscle cells.
Patrick Boisseau, chairman of the European Technology Platform on Nanomedicine (ETPN), said today that nanomedicine in Europe is rapidly progressing from a primarily academic-research-oriented and fragmented field to a multi-national program sharply focused on bringing the benefits of nanomedicine to all Europeans.
Heteroatomic nanohoops, structures previously only made with carbon atoms, have been produced. The introduction of different atoms can be used to tune the nanostructure's photoelectronic properties.

Forecast to grow at 7.2% CAGR, microscopy market growth to 2019 is majorly driven by rising focus on nanotechnology, technological advancements, and increasing federal support according to this research report available with MarketReportsHub.com.
Cadence Design Systems, Inc., today announced the Cadence® Memory Model for the LPDDR5 standard. This new verification IP (VIP) product enables engineers to verify that system-on-chip (SoC) designs are compliant with the JEDEC interface standard, and that they can operate correctly in a system with the actual memory components. Validation of designs using the LPDDR5 memory model reduces the risk of mistakes, rework and delayed production, leading to faster production ramp-up and higher product quality.
Rice University and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have won a five-year, $1.8 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to train graduate students and postdoctoral research associates to translate nanotechnology breakthroughs into clinical treatments for cancer patients.
Titan Spine, a medical device surface technology company focused on developing innovative spinal interbody fusion implants, today announced that it has been recognized as a winner of Orthopedics This Week’s 2015 Spine Technology Awards in the Biomaterials and Biologics category. Furthermore, Titan Spine’s nanoLOCK™ surface technology, the only FDA-cleared nanotechnology for the spine, scored highest of all products submitted.

Scientists from Kiel University and the Ruhr Universität Bochum (RUB) have developed a new way to store information that uses ions to save data and electrons to read data. This could enable the size of storage cells to be reduced to atomic dimensions. But that is not the only advantage of the new technology, as the researchers reported in the journal Scientific Reports.
