Should cranial implants be used to enhance cognition? - This cranial chip features a data feed that puts information into the brain while the user is resting.

What are your thoughts on synthetically grown tissues and organs? - Using tissue printing technology, this system is able to build tissues with a vascular structure enabling the building of new organs.

At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today there will be the roar of engines -- that is, if the rain holds off -- but also plenty of talk about academic topics like microbiology and nanotechnology.

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Announces Product Launch - Begins Production Of Revolutionary Nansulate EPX At New Manufacturing/Distribution Facility

Students will study nanotechnology at Tum University in Germany this summer

By focussing on fixing defects, the new method enables more precise shaping of microchip components

Analysis and diagnosis in a chip format are coming of age, but their practical application has been limited because until now, the sample usually had to be prepared separately and on a nonminiaturized scale. Jürgen Pipper and his team at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore want to change this. They have now developed a rapid test for genetic diagnosis that combines the preparation of biological samples with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on one chip. As they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, the “laboratory device” for all steps in this system is a single drop containing magnetic nanoparticles, which is moved across the chip by a magnetic field.

In the world of nanotechnology, good things come in really small packages
