This discovery would surely help in churning out better drugs for treatment of diseases. U.S researchers have found out that string like nanoparticles equal to viruses which move in the blood for up to ten times longer as compared to spherical...
In the field of space rocket engines are dependant on chemical propulsion and almost all of the spacecrafts are using some kind of chemical rocket for launching and attitude control. Researchers have been studying electric propulsion and EP systems...
Up till now fabrication of small features was quite difficult and expensive too but now researchers have come up with a nanotechnology fabrication method under which production of 3 D polymer line structures has become easier with two new photon...
The idea that measuring nanomechanical oscillations, that of the tiny vibrating silicon strips, only a few hundred atoms thick is not that easy, is no more true. Researchers at the Cornell University have designed a solution - defining as 'reach out...
This can be termed as a breakthrough invention in the field of nanotechnology. A protein sensor has been developed by U.S researchers which are ultra sensitive and can detect changes in concentration which are more than five orders of magnitude. In a...
Scientists have grown metal crystal configurations that have never been seen before! These new configurations of crystal pour in promises in the field of biosensors, biological imaging, drug delivery and catalytic converters.
The Pacific Northwest...
Japanese scientists have created a molecular device resembling a 'scissor' that can be used to control genes, proteins and other molecules in the body. This scissor can be opened and closed with the effect of light.
This device, created by Takuzo...
The first comprehensive study of the properties of boron nitrite has been completed on a nanometric scale. The thorough control and knowledge boron nitride's properties - boron's binary compound consisting of equal proportions of boron and nitrogen -...
If nanotechnology is to be used safely then we need to undertake a life cycle assessment of nanotechnology - this was stated by a team of European and U.S experts. With nanotechnology expanding with every passing year researchers say that there are...
Up till now I was involved in some serious talks about nanotechnology but here is some lighter side to it. This is a program called When things get small which brings forward the concepts of nanotechnology combined with humor and entertaining effects....
If you are the one who thinks that nanotechnology is still in the developing stages and it would take much time to bloom then you are thinking down the wrong track since it is expected that by 2015 the market for nanotechnology would reach $1 trillion...
Implants can help in curing a lot of pain in the human body and now researchers are turning to use nanotechnology for making joint, bone and tooth implants as good as nature. They have figured out that the response of host organisms to nanomaterials is...
University of Arkansas researchers have tested a new bio sensor which can detect glucose in real time and with greater sensitivity as compared to biocompatible sensors. Called the UA sensor, it has been developed by Xie and has been created with...
Finland scientists are claiming that dairy proteins and polysaccharides could be nano engineered as new functional stabilizers in case of food and packaging. Finland has sponsored the Tailored Nanostabilisers for Biocomponent Interfaces Project for...
