Study Reveals Innermost Mechanisms of Nanomotors in Bacteria-Killing Virus

Scientists have cracked a 35-year-old mystery about the workings of the natural motors that are serving as models for development of a futuristic genre of synthetic nanomotors that pump therapeutic DNA, RNA or drugs into individual diseased cells.

PI Collaborate with IMMS and Ilmenau University of Technology to Create Nanopositioning System Using Magnetic Levitation

When a feeling for markets, competence and teamwork ability come together, the user profits. This is currently being proven by a colaboration between PI (Physik Instrumente) in Karlsruhe and IMMS (Institut für Mikroelektronik- und Mechatronik-Systeme) and the Department of Mechatronics of Ilmenau University of Technology. The result of their collaboration is a novel nanopositioning system based on the principle of magnetic levitation.

New Ideas from Nanotechnology, Neuroscience Needed for Proposed Brain Activity Map

Neuroscience has come a long way since the Roman physician Galen prodded gladiators' head wounds and surmised that the brain, and not the heart, was the home of human intelligence. Nowadays, scientists can create three-dimensional maps of intact neuronal networks, observe individual neurons firing in real time within animals, and even control how those neurons fire using a technique that involves gene therapy and lasers.

Strikingly Simple X-ray Scattering Technique to Draw Nanomaterials

Photographers rely on precision lenses to generate well-focused and crystal-clear images. These high-quality optics—readily available and produced in huge quantities—are often taken for granted. But as scientists explore the details of materials spanning just billionths of a meter, engineering the nanoscale equivalent of a camera lens becomes notoriously difficult.
