‘Buckyballs’ have high potential to accumulate in living tissue
Posted by prabakaran on October 18th, 2008
Research suggests synthetic carbon molecules called fullerenes, or buckyballs, have a high potential of being accumulated in animal tissue, but the molecules also appear to break down in sunlight, perhaps reducing their possible environmental dangers.
Researchers Use Nanowires to Develop Neural Probe That Will Limit Damage to Cells and Biological Tissue
Posted by prabakaran on October 16th, 2008
Engineering researchers have developed a neural probe that demonstrates significantly greater electrical charge storage capacity than all other neural prosthetic devices. More charge storage capacity means the device can stimulate nerves and tissues with less damage and sense neural signals with better sensitivity.
Nanomedicine to Help Cure Atherosclerosis
Posted by prabakaran on October 15th, 2008
Nanomedicine, a division of nanotechnology, is about to cure atherosclerosis in cooperation with an old-fashioned drug.
The research has been done at the Washington University in St. Louis. The researchers have discovered that drug-laced nanoparticles (fumagillin) combined with a statin could stop the growth of blood vessels that are food for arterial plaques. The research has [...]
Nanotech ’tissue’ Loves Oil Spills, Hates Water
Posted by prabakaran on October 15th, 2008
A material with remarkable oil-absorbing properties has been developed by US researchers. It could help develop high-tech "towels" able to soak up oil spills at sea faster, protecting wildlife and human health.
Almost 200,000 tonnes of oil have been spilled at sea in accidents since the start of the decade, according to the International Tanker Owners [...]
Trap and zap: Harnessing the power of light to pattern surfaces on the nanoscale
