Quantum dots deliver vitamin D to tumors for possible inflammatory breast cancer treatment
The shortened daylight of a Maine winter may make for long, dark nights – but it has shone a light on a novel experimental approach to fighting inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), an especially deadly form of breast cancer. The new approach enlists the active form of Vitamin D3, called calcitriol, which is delivered therapeutically by quantum dots. Quantum dots are ... Read More »
Nanotechnology Didn’t Shrink and Disappear;
Nanotechnology Didn’t Shrink and Disappear; In Fact, It’s Everywhere Nanotechology, which involves controlling matter at the molecular and atomic levels, was a much-hyped investment theme a decade ago. It’s since become widely used in commercial products ranging from solar panels to semiconductors, but investing in nanotech requires patience. Remember when nanotechnology was the next big thing? A decade ago investors ... Read More »
