...electively and locally enhanced wherever composite nanodevices are present. Irradiation of the mix of labeled and unlabeled cells by laser light, causes tiny bubbles to form that disrupt and damage the labeled cells, but leave unlabeled cells unaffected. This technology holds promise as an alternative therapy fo...Will nanotechnology revolutionize medicine?
...rs, and even repair nerve damage; and to integrate nanodevices with the nervous system to create implants that restore vision and hearing, and build new prosthetic limbs. On Monday, April 23, 2007 Dr. Samuel I. Stupp, a leading nanomedicine scientist from Northwestern University will present the findings fr...Gold nanorods assemble themselves into rings
...could potentially lead to the development of novel nanodevices like highly sensitive optical sensors, superlenses, and even invisible objects for use in the military. "Finding new ways to assemble nano-objects into superstructures is an important task because at the nanoscale, the properties of those objects de...ACS weekly press package — May 1st, 2006
...picbiosensors and drug delivery modules that bring nanodevices into directcontact with living cells in the body. New ways of controlling thetoxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and other nanostructures are critical,however, to make those visions a reality. CNTs, for instance, typically killthe cells they touch. ...Burnham Institute to collaborate in NCI funded Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence
