Doctors in the Bloodstream: Using Polymers to Diagnose and Treat Disease
Researchers at the Wooley Laboratory have used polymers to mimic the characteristics and actions of biological nanoparticles and structures.
Producing Nanomaterials via Laser Ablation
Professor Weiping Cai and co-workers have investigated the laser ablation/irradiation in liquid technique for producing nanomaterials.
Perfectly spherical gold nanodroplets produced with smallest-ever nanojets
Using plasmonic hotspots, gold nanostructures can be melted and made to produce the smallest nanojets ever observed.
Breast cancer cells targeted, then burned, by gold-filled silicon wafers
By shining infrared light on specially designed, gold-filled silicon wafers, scientists at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute have successfully targeted and burned breast cancer cells. If the technology is shown to work in human clinical trials, it could...
Towards Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
Book Review: Biodegradable Polymers in Clinical Use and Clinical Development
Anna Musyanovych of the Max Plank Institute for Polymer Research reviews Biodegradable Polymers in Clinical Use and Clinical Development.
Gel Shapes by Design: Patterned Surfaces for Cell Growth
Droplets can be designed in a specific shape and pattern, which could be used to control cell growth and movement as well as to make new nanocomponents.
Cooking Cancer with Lasers and Gold
A nanostructure of silicon and gold is 4 times as effective at killing cancer cells in cell culture experiments as gold nanoshells alone.
Responsive Labels for Cells
How do you stick a label on something as small as a cell? Cell-labeling techniques are explained, and the use of polymer-coated nanoparticles as environment-sensitive cell labels is demonstrated by scientists in Germany and Australia.
