Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Washington (ANI): Stanford engineers have calculated that photovoltaic cells built with nanotechnology have the potential to generate far more electricity than existing cells. Graduate student Aaswath Raman, Associate Professor Shanhui Fan, and postdoctoral fellow Zongfu Yu showed that light ricocheting around inside the polymer film of a solar cell behaves differently when the film is ultra thin. A film that’s ... Read More »

A novel technology can make nanoscale protein measurements, which scientists can use in clinical trials to learn how drugs work. ‘We are making progress toward the goal of understanding how drugs work in different individuals,’ said Alice C. Fan, M.D., instructor in the division of oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine. ‘Using new technologies makes it possible to measure ... Read More »
