The debate over nano-scale versus micro-scale zero valent iron (ZVI) has attracted the attention of leading scientists in the environmental remediation industry.
A new study provides the first evidence that bacteria respond to odors, which according to one of the researchers may be the earliest evolutionary example of olfaction.
Are there too many stem cell research journals? This question has been posed by Drs. Paul Sanberg and Cesar Borlongan of the Department of Neurosurgery and Brain Repair at the University of South Florida. Their article appears in the current issue of Stem Cell Reviews and Reports.
Scientists in South Africa have come up with a novel way of purifying water on a small scale using a sachet rather like a tea bag, but instead of imparting flavor to the water, the bag absorbs toxins, filters out and kills bacteria, and cleans the water.
NINT-led nanotechnology cluster supports local firms in developing world-class technology
Scientists and Engineers at The University of Nottingham have built the world’s smallest ultrasonic transducers capable of generating and detecting ultrasound. These revolutionary transducers which are orders of magnitude smaller than current systems – are so tiny that up to 500 of the smallest ones could be placed across the width of one human hair.
Clemson University is hosting Nano2010, an international conference of scientists whose research will help us understand how nanotechnology will affect our world.
Working at the confluence of electrical engineering and materials science, chemistry and physics, Associate Professor Ali Javey, 29, has already collected an armload of accolades and achieved several research breakthroughs, including a novel method for nanowire printing.

(PhysOrg.com) — As part of its new iMedEd Initiative, the medical school has developed a comprehensive, iPad-based curriculum, reinventing how medicine is taught in the 21st century and becoming the first in the nation to offer entering students a completely digital, interactive learning environment.
A new transistor smaller than a virus can enter a cell harmlessly and “listen in” on crucial body functions, a new study says. Transistor – Biology – Cell Biology – Products and Services – Technology
TAU researcher develops nano-methods for treating cancer tumors with heat and magnetsThough a valuable weapon against cancerous tumors, radiation therapy often harms healthy tissue as it tries to kill malignant cells. Now, Prof. Israel Gannot of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Biomedical Engineering is developing a new way to destroy tumors with fewer side effects [...]
Apple’s Japanese unit has offered to replace its first-generation iPod nano music player in the event of it overheating after reports of fires led to criticism from the government in Tokyo.
Apple concedes units sold in Japan have a battery flaw that can lead to potentially dangerous overheating.
Though a valuable weapon against cancerous tumors, radiation therapy often harms healthy tissue as it tries to kill malignant cells. Now, Prof. Israel Gannot of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Biomedical Engineering is developing a new way to destroy tumors with fewer side effects and minimal damage to surrounding tissue. His innovative method, soon to [...]
