Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

A revolutionary new spherical nanostructure, fully derived from very simple organic elements, yet strong as steel, has been developed and characterized at the laboratories of Ehud Gazit of Tel Aviv University and Itay Rousso of the Weizmann Institute of Science. Lightweight and exceptionally strong, easy and inexpensive to produce, friendly to the environment and biologically compatible, these promising bio-inspired nano-spheres ... Read More »

An $18 million research program headed by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will research therapies and diagnostic tools that use nanotechnology to treat heart and lung diseases. The award, from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, will fund five years of research at Washington University and four collaborating institutions: Texas A&M University, University of Texas Southwestern ...

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 »
