Freshmen-level chemistry solves the solubility mystery of graphene oxide films
Common contaminant found responsible for the material's stability in water.
'Glowing' new nanotechnology guides cancer surgery, also kills remaining malignant cells
Researchers have developed a new way to selectively insert compounds into cancer cells - a system that will help surgeons identify malignant tissues and then, in combination with phototherapy, kill any remaining cancer cells after a tumor is removed.
New research grant for electron transfer among hydrogen-bonded dimers
Leverhulme Trust grant for research that closely mimics nature entitled 'Electron transfer between hydrogen-bonded dimers of dimers'.
Sensor demonstrates lack of space in living cells
Scientists have developed a novel method which can be used to analyse the effects of the lack of space in living cells with the aid of a microscope for the first time. They designed a sensor that changes colour depending on how confined the space in the cell is.
Using gold nanoparticles to find cancerous toxicant in agricultural products
Researchers used gold nanoparticles in the production of a detection kit to find cancerous toxicant in agricultural products.
New concept of fuel cell for efficiency and environment
The Center for Nanoparticle Research at the Institute for Basic Science has succeeded in proposing a new method to enhance fuel cell efficiency with the simultaneous removal of toxic heavy metal ions.
Scientist look for nanostructures that allow compatibility between metal, human bone tissues
One of the goals of Cimav specialists is to develop biomedical implants needed in Mexico, as the ones existing in the domestic market are usually manufactured abroad.
Watching nanoscale assembly live
Ebola virus, Alzheimer's amyloid fibrils, tissue collagen scaffolds and cellular cytoskeleton are all filamentous structures that spontaneously assemble from individual proteins.
New methods to control the size and chemical composition of nanoparticles
The Nanoparticles by Design Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University is constantly finding new ways to endow the tiniest of particles with more specific properties.
