Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Researchers at Thailand’s National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC), Nano-delivery System Laboratory are investigating the chemical and structural of gamma-oryzanol, a model drug, loaded inside a model lipid nanoparticles drug-delivery system. The delivery system composed of cetyl palmitate as solid lipid, and Miglyol 812 as liquid lipid. In a recent raman mapping study, which was published in February 2010 by Nanotechnology, the ...

A group of carbon nanotubes coated with a thin layer of protein-recognizing polymer form a biosensor that can use electrochemical signals to identify small traces of proteins. According to Boston College researchers, this could provide a crucial new diagnostic tool for the detection of a range of illnesses. The study appears in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. The nanotube biosensor proved ... Read More »

The massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill has already hemorrhaged anywhere from 18 million to 40 million gallons of oil into the water, leaving federal and state emergency response officials desperate for any way to capture the spreading raw crude and protect the U.S. coastline. But this week, scientists in the U.S., Canada, South America and elsewhere pleaded with the ... Read More »

Proteomics is an important field for the pursuit of drug discovery, vaccine development, and drug manufacturing. However, prevalent methods require fluorescent labeling and 2D evaluation through electrophoresis or mass spectrometry. Hus Tigli, CEO of Silicon Kinetics, shared an alternative approach that leverages nanotechnology, at the San Francisco Bay Area IEEE Nanotechnology Sixth Annual Symposium: “Nanotechnology: State of the art and ...

Nanotechnology revenues are estimated to reach $1 Trillion worldwide by 2015. Nanotechnology is often considered as a new revolution, as was the industrial revolution, because nanotechnology manipulates matter at the atomic scale to create new applications in materials, medicine, robotics, electronics and energy. But what really is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology which gives us ... Read More »
