Revolutionary nanotechnology illuminates brain cells at work
Until now it has been impossible to accurately measure the levels of important chemicals in living brain cells in real time and at the level of a single cell. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology and Stanford University are the first to overcome this obstacle by successfully applying genetic nanotechnology using molecular sensors to view changes in brain chemical l...Nanotechnology to provide portable genetic risk detection
Currently being developed by the IST project OPTONANOGEN, a prototype of the system will initially be used to detect mutations of the BRCA1 gene that are responsible for between 2.5 and 5 per cent of the incidence of breast cancer in women. The final system, however, could be used to detect virtually any genetic anomaly as well as proteins linked to viruses, chemical contamination in food or wate...Nanotechnology may find disease before it starts
Nanotechnology may one day help physicians detect the very earliest stages of serious diseases like cancer, a new study suggests. In laboratory experiments on mice, scientists found that nano-sized particles injected into the animal...Nanotechnology being used to improve biocompatibility of human prosthetics and implants
As populations of the world age the current trend is that people are not slowing down in their later years. The desire for increased activity among the elderly also means increased demands on medical researchers to come up with better ways to keep them active. In the fields of implants and prosthetics calcium phosphate (CP) coatings on titanium alloy implants are proving their worth in orthopaedi...Silver bullet: UGA researchers use laser, nanotechnology to rapidly detect viruses
Waiting a day or more to get lab results back from the doctor's office soon could become a thing of a past. Using nanotechnology, a team of University of Georgia researchers has developed a diagnostic test that can detect viruses as diverse as influenza, HIV and RSV in 60 seconds or less. In addition to saving time, the technique ?which is detailed in the November issue of the journal Nano...UW study examines public attitudes on nanotechnology
"The message to scientists is: The public is not going to come to you. You have to take your work to the public, and make it availa...Nanotechnology minimizes UW's beloved mascot
Last month a team of UW-Madison chemists led by <a href="http://hamers.chem.wis...Wisconsin colleges secure funding for nanotechnology
The colleges, with help from the grant worth $217,795, are putting the finishing touches on a nanotechnology curr...Feds provide $1.5 million for new nanotechnology center
The grant will cover part of the cost of construction for the $5.5 million nanotechnology i...Fitchburg Technology Campus attracts nanotechnology firms
Ground-breaking will be held on Nov. 16 for the second New Venture Center building. Its anchor...CoQ10 bioavailability increased by Nanotechnology
The results of two human clinical trials support the enhanced bioavailability// of CoQ10 delivered into beverages using its novel technology which will interest manufacturers of CoQ10 products. Increasing its bioavailability, or the body's absorption of the ingredient, allows supplement and food makers to use lower dosages, therefore saving on costs. The patented technolo...Nanotechnology Revolution To Be Spearheaded By European Union
Nanotechnology involves using tiny particles for treatment of diseases. ‘Nano’ refers to billionth of a unit. European countries are to use Nanotechnology for treatment of fatal diseases, which will help to reduce the cost of healthcare // . European Union to develop Nanotechnology in the next 10 years which will help to cure diseases such as heart diseases, diabetes, Cancer, HIV infection, Alzhe...RNA Nanotechnology To Rescue Cancer Patients In Future
Scientists have now developed tiny delivery vehicles that can carry anticancer therapeutic agents directly into infected cells, using strands of genetic material constructed through nanotechnology, offering a potential wealth // of new treatments for chronic diseases. This emerging branch of science is called nanomedicine. These delivery agents are called nanoparticles, and are assembled...Scientists Consider About New Technology Called Nanotechnology
“AGARA mudhala Ezhutthellam AADHI Bhagawan Mudattre Ulagu”Wondering what the above verses from Thirukurral written by Thiruvalluvar somewhere around 300 BC is doing in this special report about nanotechnology? // “ Annuvai Thulaithu Ezhkadalai Purati Kuruga Tharitha Kurral” – OuvvaySuch is the ingenuity of its author, that he has compressed within its narrow limits all the branche...Potential Benefits Of New Nanotechnology
A new nanotechnology has been developed at Leeds that will benefit at large in huge reductions in heating bills, safer surgery and for the next generation// of miniaturized computers. By suspending nanoparticles in water or other liquids, Professor Richard Williams and Dr Yulong Ding have created ‘nanofluids’ which can transfer heat up to 400% faster than other liquids. In a central he...
