National Science Foundation) For 5,000 years the only way to shape metal has been by the "heat and beat" technique. Even with modern nanotechnology, metalworking involves carving metals with electron beams or etching them with acid.
University of Texas at Austin) A biomedical engineering assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $1.5 million National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Institute grant to conduct nanoparticle cancer research.
Nanotechnology is everywhere but in schools. It is therefore necessary to provide teachers with suitable tools and skills for teaching nanotechnology in science classes. The training course fo...
A drug developed using nanotechnology and a fungus that contaminated a lab experiment may be broadly effective against a range of cancers, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.
At AVS ALD 2008, the 8th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition held in Bruges, Belgium, Finnish Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) reactor manufacturer Picosun Oy today re-introduced Dr Tuomo Suntola, Finnish scientist who received the European SEMI award in 2004
Bionics - a word formed from biology and electronics - has become a quickly expanding research field, exploring ways and materials to bridge the interface between electronics and biology. Basically, there are three levels of biocommunications where electronics and biology
A major nanotech advance in engineering multifunctional nanoparticles for imaging and therapeutic applications combines a short RNA (siRNA) to "silence" a specific gene with quantum dots and a "proton sponge" polymer coating to get the siRNA into the cell and
