Researchers from the Australian National Fabrication Facility, Monash University, and the University of Melbourne describe the straightforward preparation of black gold, a material of promising optical properties.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Tumor-Targeted Nanotherapeutics for Glioblastoma
In an effort to overcome barriers to the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), targeted nanotherapeutics have emerged as promising drug delivery systems with the potential to improve pharmacokinetic profiles and therapeutic efficacy.
Nanoparticles on a Drug Delivery Mission
To design nanoproducts with improved therapeutic efficiency and controlled toxicity, we need to understand the mechanisms of cellular uptake and exocytosis of nanoparticles.
The Sound of Smallness
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA have introduced a simple strategy for making nanoparticles by the sonofragmentation of high‐aspect‐ratio 1D substrates.
Particle Micromotors
Magnetically steerable, acid-resistant micromotors are developed that can be fabricated by electrostatic attraction between magnetite nanoparticles and gold microrods at pH ≈ 4.
Particulate Delivery Systems for Vaccination against Bioterrorism Agents and Emerging Infectious Pathogens
Nano- and micro-particulate vaccine delivery systems minimize side effects, trigger targeted and robust immune responses, and protect and stabilize vaccine components
µ-Scale Classifying
The new design of an air classifier allows a fineness range from 200 μm to 2 μm.
Deformation-Induced Supersaturation During High-Pressure Torsion
Bulk nanostructured materials have been the subject of extensive research over the past couple of decades due to their extraordinary mechanical and functional properties.
Supercritical Lens Improves Optical Resolution at a Distance
Minghui Hong and colleagues report super-critical-lens (SCL) optical label‐free microscopy, which clearly distinguishes a pattern with a feature size of 65 nm in air and with a 55 μm working distance.
Cancer Immunotherapy and Nanotechnology: Taking the Best from Two Worlds
Researchers are applying nanotechnology to cancer immunotherapy toward the development of nanocarriers for delivery of cancer vaccines and chemo-immunotherapies.
