These unique nanoparticles would surely do good to the world of medicine. Researchers from U.S. have developed novel nanoparticles which can be used for sending medicines deep inside the lungs and penetrate cancer cells without affecting the...

Using novel voltage-sensitive nanoparticles, researchers from the University of Michigan have found electric fields inside cells as strong as those produced in lightning bolts. Previously, it has only been possible to measure electric...

Tiny fluorescent particles have been developed by University of Florida scientists which can be used for quick identification of bacteria by color coding them. It can certainly help in testing contaminants in food and prevention of bio terror...

Scientists from Imperial College of London have announced they are close to developing an invisible carpet, well almost. Though cloaking devices have been around, they usually do not provide complete invisibility where as the carpet in question can...

Marino wool prized by grandmothers and lactating mothers for its warmth and softness is not exactly a fashion designer’s pet material. Researchers in New Zealand have added nanoparticles made of pure gold and silver to fine Marino wool to...

Nanoparticles are increasingly executing their magic in various fields of sciences - especially in medicines, security and electronics. And it is real impressive when they are even controlled remotely! The MIT scientists have...

Chip manufacturers are facing the problem of power and heat in devices embedding their chips. Companies are facing the problem of thermal management as they continue to churn out smaller devices. Now nanotechnology comes into the picture and...

This discovery would surely help in churning out better drugs for treatment of diseases. U.S researchers have found out that string like nanoparticles equal to viruses which move in the blood for up to ten times longer as compared to...

I always feel too lazy to do my laundry and such an alternative will be perfect for me. No more expensive dry cleaning bills rather an eco friendly fabric that cleans itself. Researchers at Clemson University are developing a highly...

In the future doctors would be able to monitor tumor growth and chemotherapy treatment progress in cancer patients in a swift manner. This will all be possible due to tiny implants which are under progress at MIT. Consisting of nanoparticles,...
