(PhysOrg.com) -- In an effort to make graphene more useful in electronics applications, Kansas State University engineers made a golden discovery -- gold "snowflakes" on graphene. http://www.physorg.com/news174590038.html Nanotechnology Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:15:28 EST news174590038 Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have uncovered what happens to biomimetic nanoparticles when they enter human cells. They found that the important proteins that make up the outer layer of these nanoparticles are degraded by an enzyme called cathepsin L. Scientists now have to take this phenomenon into account and overcome this process to ensure the exciting field of nanomedicine can progress. The research is published today in ACS Nano. http://www.physorg.com/news172838722.html Nanotechnology Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:20:02 EST news172838722 Scientists are reporting discovery of a potential new alternative to aspirin, ReoPro, and other anti-platelet agents used widely to prevent blood clots in coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke. Their study, scheduled for the June 23 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal, involves particles of silver -- 1/50,000th the diameter of a human hair -- that are injected into the bloodstream. http://www.physorg.com/news162666750.html Nanotechnology Wed, 27 May 2009 18:12:56 EST news162666750 Researchers in California are reporting an advance toward the long-sought goal of "invisible electronics" and transparent displays, which can be highly desirable for heads-up displays, wind-shield displays, and electronic paper. http://www.physorg.com/news153075395.html Nanotechnology Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:59:06 EST news153075395 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers have created a precise biosensor for detecting blood glucose and potentially many other biological molecules by using hollow structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes anchored to gold-coated "nanocubes." http://www.physorg.com/news151854328.html Nanotechnology Thu, 22 Jan 2009 13:46:15 EST news151854328 (PhysOrg.com) -- Using tiny gold particles and infrared light, MIT researchers have developed a drug-delivery system that allows multiple drugs to be released in a controlled fashion. http://www.physorg.com/news149860678.html Nanotechnology Tue, 30 Dec 2008 11:57:58 EST news149860678
