Method Developed To Assess Safety, Health Risks Of Nanomaterials
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 03, 2006Shades of science fiction surround the potential of the booming nanotechnology industry - like Michael Crichton's novel "Prey", which features tiny nano-robots threatening to take over the world. New Theory Explains Electronic And Thermal Behavior Of Nanotubes 
Chicago IL (SPX) Jan 20, 2006Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have made an important theoretical breakthrough in the understanding of energy dissipation and thermal breakdown in metallic carbon nanotubes. Their discovery will help move nanotube wires from laboratory to marketplace. Carbon Nanotubes That Detect Disease Causing Mutations Developed By Pitt Researcher
Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Jan 26, 2006University of Pittsburgh researcher Alexander Star and colleagues at California-based company Nanomix, have developed devices made of carbon nanotubes that can find mutations in genes causing hereditary diseases, they report in the Jan. 16 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. This method is less expensive and takes less time than conventional techniques. |
Nano World: First Solar-Powered Nano Motor
New York (UPI) Jan 24, 2006An international team of scientists has created the first molecular motor powered solely by sunlight, experts told UPI's Nano World. Purdue Engineers Solve Chaos Mystery In Use Of High-Tech Microscope 
West Lafayette IN (SPX) Jan 20, 2006Mechanical engineers at Purdue University have proven that the same sort of "deterministic chaos" behind the baffling uncertainties of the stock market and long-term weather conditions also interferes with measurements taken with a commonly used scientific instrument. Protein 'Nanosprings' Most Resilient Found In Nature 
Durham NC (SPX) Jan 19, 2006A component of many proteins has been found to constitute one of the most powerful and resilient molecular "springs" in nature, researchers have discovered. The engineers and biologists from Duke University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute say their discovery could lead to a new understanding of mechanical processes within the living cell. |
