Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

One important discovery made about cancer over the past decade is that as a tumor develops, the molecular identity of its cells begins to diverge. As a result, any given tumor is likely to contain groups of cells with differing genetic makeup, growth rates, and more importantly, susceptibility to specific drug therapies. Now, using a mixture of four quantum dots ... Read More »

This individual will be part of a multidisciplinary team to develop novel energy sources and storage systems which leverage nanotechnology. Examples of potential nanoenergy sources include mechanical MEM/NEMs, thermoelectric, or organic/bio photovoltaic.The individual will also work closely with other sections (nanoelectronics and nanomaterials) of the program. The individual needs to have excellent communication skills and exhibit team work capabilities, as ... Read More »

Twenty New York State residents are among 22 students chosen to participate Albany, NY – The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (“CNSE”) of the University at Albany announced today that 22 exceptional undergraduate students – including 20 New York State residents – have been selected to participate in its prestigious Summer Internship Program. The student interns, who were chosen ... Read More »

The Indian Army plans to induct new-age gadgets such as micro audio bugs and video devices to keep a watch on terrorist hideouts and their meeting places and activities, apparently taking a leaf out of James Bond flicks. “Possible nano-technology applications are micro-audio bugs and video recording devices with high capacity data storage to plant at likely meeting places of ...

Men who have just had their cancerous prostate gland removed have one pressing question for their doctors: Am I cured? But conventional tests haven’t been sensitive enough to provide a concrete answer. Current tests that measure the level of protein called PSA (prostate-specific antigen), which signals the presence of cancer, often detect no PSA, only to have cancer return in ... Read More »

EIGHT scientists whose discoveries have dramatically expanded human understanding in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience have been recognised with the award of the million-dollar Kavli Prizes. Jerry Nelson, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, US, Ray Wilson, formerly of Imperial College London and the European Southern Observatory, and Roger Angel, of the University of Arizona, Tucson, US, share the ...

After a decade of rapid advance nanotechnology is now poised to play a central role in fields as diverse as climate change and health care. But there is a danger that a shortage or underuse of facilities for probing nanoscale materials and structures will present a roadblock. Better coordination of these big facilities at national and European level and the ... Read More »
