Polymer Molecule Layered On Carb Molecule to Increase Sensitivity

...n a polymer (protein) and layered it on the carbon nanotube to increase the detection capacity. This configuration can accommodate a wide range of applications, from ultra-precise blood-sugar monitoring to infectious-agent detection, said Yuehe Lin, who led the research at the Department of Energy campus' W...

Absorption Of Carbon Nanotube Measured In Worms Revolutionize Cancer Research

... cancer cells called HeLa cells, and also measured nanotube uptake in an earthworm and an aquatic type of worm. The findings were presented Sunday at the 231st American Chemical Society National Meeting in Atlanta. Co-authors of the presentation are graduate student Elijah Petersen and postdoctoral research ...

Bionic muscles developed by scientists powered by alcohol and hydrogen

...al energy which caused a material made from carbon nanotube electrodes to bend. Dr John Madden, from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada said, "The muscle consumes oxygen and fuel that can be transported via a circulation system; the muscle itself supports the chemical reaction that lea...
