June 15 : A new study has found that nanoparticles are not as effective in protecting frozen cells as the more traditional cryoprotective agents, or CPAs.

June 14 : Researchers at Purdue University has shown that common bacteria can carry “smart nanoparticles” into a cell, and thereby help early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

May 21 : Two group of scientists from the University of Miami and the University of California have shown that nanotechnology may help enhance the regeneration of nerve cells, and thereby reduce the effects of trauma and disease in a dramatic way.

May 21 : US researchers are working to develop a new “matrix” of nanoparticles that may enable destruction of specific harmful cancer cells.

Imagine being able to rapidly identify tiny biological molecules such as DNA and toxins using less than a drop of salt water in a system that can fit on a microchip. It’s closer than you might

Washington, April 24 : An experiment on mice has shown that nanotechnology may tender a lot of help in treating several intractable ailments, including spinal cord injuries, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease.

London, Apr 23 : US researchers have developed a set of gold nanoparticles with various coatings which can identify proteins by mimicking the way the human nose distinguishes scents.

New York, April 23 : Nanoparticles - currently in use in electronics, cosmetics and chemical manufacturing, among other industries - could damage DNA and lead to cancer, says a new study.

To help light up the nanoworld, a Cornell interdisciplinary team of researchers has produced microscopic “nanolamps” — light-emitting nanofibers about the size of a virus or the tiniest of bacteria.

The layers of mucus that protect sensitive tissue throughout the body have an undesirable side effect: they can also keep helpful medications away.
