Nanobubbles are really slick

News: Nanotechnology    February 26, 2010
One thing nanotechnology can do, besides create new materials, is use some ‘old’ things in new ways. Take, for example, bubbles. Some bubbles are trapped air. Air repels water, or more specifically air and water don’t mix (immediately) so bubbles are formed. Thinking like a nanotechnologist: What if there were nano-sized bubbles trapped in a [...]

Two new cancer-killing nanoparticles

News: Nanomedicine    February 7, 2010
To use an overworked phrase, it’s a paradigm shift: Cancer research is learning how to ‘think small’ with the potential of nanotechnology – nanoparticles specifically. It’s a shift because medical science has been accustomed to cancer-fighting techniques on the level of bringing cannons to kill a fly. Where doctors once treated cancer with a body-wide [...]
