Dual-Mode Nanoparticles Image Tumors Using MRI and PET Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine August 15, 2008 \| User rating: 3.9 / 5 after 8 vote(s) \| No comments yet Medical imaging represents one of the most used and useful procedures in the oncologist’s diagnostic toolkit, even though each of the most useful techniques—magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography x-ray ...

True properties of carbon nanotubes measured Nanotechnology / Materials August 15, 2008 \| User rating: 4.5 / 5 after 15 vote(s) \| User comments: 2 For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic ...

Slipping through cell walls, nanotubes deliver high-potency punch to cancer tumors in mice Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine August 14, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 18 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 (PhysOrg.com) -- The problem with using a shotgun to kill a housefly is that even if you get the pest, you'll likely do a lot of damage to your home in the process. Hence the value of the more surgical flyswatter.

Self-assembling polymer arrays improve data storage potential Nanotechnology / Physics August 14, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 20 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new manufacturing approach holds the potential to overcome the technological limitations currently facing the microelectronics and data-storage industries, paving the way to smaller electronic ...

Northwestern chemists take gold, mass-produce Beijing Olympic logo Nanotechnology / Physics August 14, 2008 \| User rating: 3 / 5 after 9 vote(s) \| No comments yet Northwestern University nanoscientist Chad A. Mirkin has mass-produced the 2008 Summer Olympics logo -- 15,000 times. All the logos take up only one square centimeter of space.

Turning Waste Material into Ethanol Nanotechnology / Materials August 13, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 20 vote(s) \| User comments: 6 (PhysOrg.com) -- Say the word “biofuels” and most people think of grain ethanol and biodiesel. But there’s another, older technology called gasification that’s getting a new look from researchers at the U.S. ...

Clemson scientists put a (nano) spring in their step Nanotechnology / Physics August 13, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 5 vote(s) \| No comments yet Electronic devices get smaller and more complex every year. It turns out that fragility is the price for miniaturization, especially when it comes to small devices, such as cell phones, hitting the floor. ...
