Medicine & TechnologyResearchers have now developed a biochip that can solve the difficulty in spotting minute amounts of disease circulating in the bloodstream.
In a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and Northeastern University, researchers have now developed a model for predicting the shape of metal nanocrystals or "islands" sandwiched between or below two-dimensional (2-D) materials such as graphene.
A newly developed coating for fibers now shows an advantage for efficiently getting the toxic chemicals used during manufacturing of the fiber and all the chemical warfare agents developed during the manufacturing condition such as humidity.
Previous research may have showed that metal nanoparticles have properties useful for various biomedical applications, there are still many mysteries remain regarding how these tiny materials form.
The central goal of nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale, especially to build microscopic devices or structures.
The US Food and Drug Administration is proposing a lower concentration level standard for fluoride in bottled water, yet some scientists and environmental groups believe that the proposed limit is still too high and poses a danger to human health.
