When the sample with the DNA scaffold is incubated with a solution of fluorescent nanoparticles, a rapid self-assembly process of these particles on the predefined scaffold takes place.

NORTHRIDGE - In a basement lab at California State University, Northridge, students don astronautlike white suits to study the tiniest of molecules.

This week Nature Nanotechnology journal reveals how scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL are using a novel nanomechanical approach to investigate the workings of vancomycin

UK researchers are using microscopic "nanoprobes" to find new drugs to tackle antibiotic resistance.

With the recent decline of the stock market, the reduction of lending, and the dearth of IPOs in 2008 things may look bleak for emerging technologies such as nanotech. But, while near term projections may look bad, in the long term economic decline could actually be extremely beneficial to technological developments involving nanomaterials. Here are three reasons why:

Yale scientists have created nanowire sensors coupled with simple microprocessor electronics that are both sensitive and specific enough to be used for point-of-care (POC) disease detection, according to a report in Nano Letters.

The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at the University of California at Santa Barbara (CNS-UCSB) helped to win the new University of California Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology

Alongside renewable energy, green tech is tipped to become employment sector number one in the next decades

Biotechnology is the integration of engineering and technology to the life sciences.

NanoCareer Day brings 300 middle- and high-school students to CNSE's Albany NanoTech

A couple of weeks ago I took part in a dialogue meeting in Brussels organised by the CIAA, the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU, about nanotechnology in food.

More than 300 students from all over New York State are getting an up-close look at nanotechnology. Student Hasson Nharris said, "All this crazy technology, it's like, woah, it's amazing."

There are many questionable projects relating to this subject, and I scratched my head and wondered what the phrase "nanotechnology" truly encompasses.

Microfluidics, a division of Microfluidics International Corporation (OTCBB: MFLU), has announced that the company's CTO and nationally renowned nanotechnology applications expert

A Glue Which Uses the Gecko's Remarkable Feet as its Inspiration

This new tool targets prions, which are the cause of BSE (Mad cow desease).

For setting up the centre, the Department of Science and Technology (DST), governed by the Government of India has just allocated over Rs.24 million

We believe the decision to exclude “nanotubes and nanotechnology” was not well thought out.
