Berkeley Lab Announces Licensing of Boron Nitride Nanotube Technology

Nearly 20 years ago researcher Alex Zettl of the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) synthesized in his lab a new material never before seen by nature: boron nitride nanotubes, the strongest, lightest, most thermally conducting, and most chemically resistant fiber known to exist. Now a startup has licensed this technology with the aim of manufacturing boron nitride nanotubes for commercial use.

Non-Invasive Silver Nanoparticle SERS Spectroscopy Method for Cancer Screening

Researchers at Guangdong Medical College have discovered that the combination of serum surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy and support vector machine (SVM) diagnostic algorithm demonstrated great potential for non-invasive screening of prostate cancer. Screening for cancer can help prevent related deaths. Many methods exist, but there is a growing need for more effective, safe and cost-effective methods.

Handheld Raman Scanner Could Aid in Complete Removal of Brain Tumors

Cancerous brain tumors are notorious for growing back despite surgical attempts to remove them — and for leading to a dire prognosis for patients. But scientists are developing a new way to try to root out malignant cells during surgery so fewer or none get left behind to form new tumors. The method, reported in the journal ACS Nano, could someday vastly improve the outlook for patients.

Scientists Use Copper as Catalyst for Production of Silicon Solar Cell Wafer

In making a solar cell, scientists etch nanoscale spikes into a silicon wafer in order to maximize its surface area and consequently to maximize the amount of sunlight to reach it. Metal particles have been used as a catalyst in this process because etching is much accelerated near metal particles.
