NIH grant focuses on nanotechnology to treat prostate cancer As prostate cancer progresses, the cancer cells become more resistant to traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and they become more aggressive and spread more rapidly. But now, a Temple School of Pharmacy researcher is exploring the use of nanotechnology to effectively treat latter-stage prostate cancer. Through a five-year, $1.58 million R01 ... Read More »

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is an innovative science involving the design and application of small-sized particles measured in nanometers. According to the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), nanotechnology is science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers (or about one-billionth of a meter). Objects at the nanoscale are so small they are invisible to the ... Read More »

Seemingly small research funding cuts could hinder progress in nanotechnology Cuts in federal funding of nanotechnology research threaten to slow progress toward some of the field’s greatest promises, including commercialization of sustainable new energy sources that do not contribute to global warming, an international authority in the field cautioned here today. Speaking at the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of ... Read More »

Breakthrough in nanotechnology imaging under extremely high pressures   Highly coherent X-rays from synchrotron sources can be used for imaging nanomaterials in 3-D at tens of nanometer of spatial resolution. This image shows a monochromatic hard X-rays patterns from a single crystal gold particle, which produces a speckle-like fringe image. Inverting such “diffraction images” under certain conditions can result in ... Read More »

Sol Voltaics uses nanotechnology to make solar energy 25 percent more efficient Sol Voltaics is announcing today it has used nanotechnology to build solar cell modules that are up to 25 percent more efficient than the cells currently on the market. If the company can deliver its SolInk material as advertised, then it could make it a lot cheaper to introduce ... Read More »
