Researchers from Germany and Italy have developed a new generation molecular storage device that works on nanostructured storage domain. The lead researchers are from National Research Council, Bologna (Italy) and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Germany and the research report findings were published in the Journal Angewandte Chemie.
Researchers were able to produce new nano patterns of spin transition [...]

New generation storage device developed
Nanotechnology can be used for treating breast and prostate cancer
According to physicist Diandra Leslie-Pelecky, prostate and breast cancer cells are very close to skin and if treated with magnetic cancer fighting drugs, we can avoid the spread of the cancer drug to entire body. The former professor at University of Nebraska-Licoln, Leslie-Pelecky brought an award for $84,000 from the National Institute of Health recently.

Switchable nanostripes: Spin-transition compound can be deposited in ordered crystalline microstructures
Gold nanostars outshine the competition
Gold nanostars exhibit optical qualities that make them superior for chemical and biological sensing and imaging.
New molecules with many branches will help unleash potential of nanotechnology
Materials science and the pharmaceutical industry could soon be revolutionized by emerging nanotechnologies based on designer molecules with long complex tree-and branch structures
New nanoimaging process developed
The liquid crystal including ordered polymers, emulsions, gels etc are used in a number of digital devices. Electrical or magnetic field can orient the molecules in these crystals and that’s how these devices work. Presently there is not much information available on the nano level.
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a new technique [...]
‘Stamping’ self-assembling nanowires
By manipulating the way tiny droplets of fluid dry, researchers have created an innovative way to make and pattern nanoscale wires and other devices that ordinarily can be made only with expensive lithographic tools. The process is guided by molds that “stamp” the desired structures.
Researchers find nanomaterials may have large environmental footprint
Environmental gains derived from the use of nanomaterials may be offset in part by the process used to manufacture them
Self-assembling nano-fiber gel delivers high concentrations of clinically approved drugs
Enzymes release drugs on target without toxic residue
Engineering Nanoparticles for Maximum Strength
Individual nanocrystals are remarkably strong. But under stress, complex nanostructures quickly fail because of internal strains. New research on hollow nanospheres shows that engineering can greatly increase the strength of complex nanoparticles. The results could lead to stronger nanostructures and large-scale alloys as well.
