Book Review: Nanotechnology for the Energy Challenge
Professor Sanjay Mathur of the University of Cologne reviews Nanotechnology for the Energy Challenge, a new text covering areas of energy research where nanomaterials could make a big difference.
Flick of Switch Controls Medicine: Nanoparticle Drug Delivery
A recent review gives an up-to-the-minute round-up of how mesoporous silica nanoparticles are used to deliver drugs into cells.
Porous silicon nanoneedles for barcodes and other applications
Researchers at the University of Texas have fabricated biodegradable, nanobarcodes of silicon. The porosity of the silicon structures enables their applications in bioengineering, energy storage, and drug delivery systems.
Focussed Nanopatterning
Scientists develop a simple way to organise nanoparticles on a surface without the need to first alter the surface.
