(Syracuse University) Scientists in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences found a new way to harness the natural light produced by fireflies using nanoscience. Their breakthrough produces a system that is 20 to 30 times more efficient than those produced during previous experiments. Go to Source ...

EU researchers extensively characterised the self-organisation of nanotubes and developed novel compositions particularly appropriate to solar energy conversion applications. Go to Source ...

FOR half a century, the essence of progress in the computer industry has been to do more with less. Moore’s law famously observes that the number of transistors which can be crammed into a given space doubles every 18 months. ...

Publishers note: “Cancer kills more people globally than HIV/Aids, TB and malaria, and in Africa it is becoming a growing health burden”. This was a headline in the Guardian newspaper.   Will advances in nanotechnology be a game changer for the war on cancer? Imagine a test that sifts through millions of molecules in a drop of a patient’s blood to...

Bionanoscience: Nanoparticles in the life of a cell Nature Nanotechnology 7, 9 (2012). doi:10.1038/nnano.2011.207 Author: Huw Summers The cycle of cell birth, growth and division can affect the uptake and dilution of nanoparticles in cells, suggesting that the evolution of nanoparticle dose within a cell population is linked to the life cycle of cells.
