These unique nanoparticles would surely do good to the world of medicine. Researchers from U.S. have developed novel nanoparticles which can be used for sending medicines deep inside the lungs and penetrate cancer cells without affecting the normal...

Tiny fluorescent particles have been developed by University of Florida scientists which can be used for quick identification of bacteria by color coding them. It can certainly help in testing contaminants in food and prevention of bio terror attacks...

Chip manufacturers are facing the problem of power and heat in devices embedding their chips. Companies are facing the problem of thermal management as they continue to churn out smaller devices. Now nanotechnology comes into the picture and carbon...

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 future doctors would be able to monitor tumor growth and chemotherapy treatment progress in cancer patients in a swift manner. This will all be possible due to tiny implants which are under progress at MIT. Consisting of nanoparticles, the...

Up till now we knew that coated iron oxide nanoparticles were quite effective as MRI contrast agents for detection of metastatic lesions in lymph nodes and now researchers at the Kyungpook National University, Korea have figured out that nanoparticles..

It has been found out that cancer vaccines are quite effective in harnessing the immune system for killing cancer cells and preventing metastasizing of tumors but clinical trials have produced mixed results. Though DNA based vaccines have been found...

This has been proved beyond doubt that nanoparticles could transport drugs into cancer cells but it is still unclear as to whether drug payload could exit the tiny endosomes that pulled nanoparticles into cells. Due to this there is still some doubt...

National Science Foundation has given a one million grant to Yale biomedical engineers and cell biologists for developing nano particles for delivering vaccines. The team would be developing a new class of nano materials with properties which would...

A study conducted by MIT-Harvard Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence ha shown that nanoparticle targeting could be powerful enough in improving the behavior of nanoparticles in the bloodstream. It was found out that iron oxide nanoparticles...
