Nanoparticles which detect cancer

American researchers have managed to created the smallest magnetic nanoparticles in order to detect cancer cells, to attach themselves to them and to transmit important information through the representation of magnetic resonance.

Magnetic resonance has turned out to be of great aid to doctors in discovering tumors without surgery. The device uses magnetic waves which […]

Nanosoccer at RoboCup Open

Nanosoccer has already been played at the US RoboCup Open 2008, but this will be the first time when the public will be allowed to spectate at a soccer game between microscopic players. The players are actually computer-driven robots the size of unicellular organisms, and the ball will have a diameter of a human hair.
The […]

The substance that stops bleeding

A liquid substance, made by some researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with the help of nanotechnology, has the propriety of stopping bleedings almost immediately.
This substance will be first introduced in the operation rooms, where it will be used during the surgical interventions for stopping the bleedings. It will be used in a large […]

Nanotechnology paves the was for super iPods

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have made a discovery that could allow the storage capacity of an iPod to increase by 150.000 times. A molecule-sized switch has been developed by nanotechnology researchers, which means that data storage can be increased without increasing component size.
Professor Lee Cronin says that this would allow them to squeeze […]
