From a post written by AZoNano: A significant discovery was announced by Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) featuring results enabled by Protochips in situ products. In a world where 3-D printing and nanotechnology are becoming commonplace, Dr. Raymond Unocic of ORNL has discovered a way to combine them with significant results. Dr. Unocic and colleagues [...]
From a post by Nanoneophyte: Over the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the white-hot center of a flurry of activity. Startups that create embedded sensors for physical things have been snapped up by larger companies at a rapid pace, with deals for IoT startups totaling more than $30 billion in the [...]
From an article by Cayla Dengate at the Huffington Post (Australia): Antibiotic resistance threatens to leave humanity at the mercy of bacteria, where a surgical wound or bladder infection could spell a slow fight against death. Yet in the face of this global issue, it's hard to visualise exactly what antibiotic resistance is and how [...]
From AZonano News: A team of Trinity College Dublin Chemists partnered with Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) to formulate a breakthrough new scanning method to generate very high-resolution 3D images of bones without patients being exposed to X-ray radiation. The chemists fasten luminescent compounds to miniature gold structures to form biologically safe ‘nanoagents’. [...]
From a post by Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer: The world is still vulnerable to a potentially catastrophic asteroid strike, according to President Barack Obama's chief science adviser. NASA has made substantial progress in finding the asteroids that pose the biggest threat to Earth, but there's still a lot of work to do, said John [...]
From phys.org: Nanoparticles offer a promising way to deliver cancer drugs in a targeted fashion, helping to kill tumors while sparing healthy tissue. However, most nanoparticles that have been developed so far are limited to carrying only one or two drugs. MIT chemists have now shown that they can package three or more drugs into [...]
From AFP and staff writers News Corp Australia Network: THE Gaia space probe, launched in 2013, has mapped more than a billion stars in the Milky Way, vastly expanding the inventory of known stars in our galaxy, the European Space Agency has revealed. Released to eagerly waiting astronomers around the world, the initial [...]
From phys.org: With one in two Australian children reported to have tooth decay in their permanent teeth by age 12, researchers from the University of Sydney believe they have identified some nanoscale elements that govern the behaviour of our teeth. Material and structures engineers worked with dentists and bioengineers to map the exact composition and [...]
From phys.org: Changes in the genetic make-up of tissue samples can be detected quickly and easily using a new method based on nanotechnology. This report researchers from the Swiss Nanoscience Institute, the University of Basel and the University Hospital Basel in first clinical tests with genetic mutations in patients with malignant melanoma. The journal Nano [...]
