Graphene 'Invisible' to Water: How the Extreme Thinness of Graphene Enables Near-Perfect Wetting Transparency
January 23, 2012 — Graphene is the thinnest material known to science. The nanomaterial is so thin, in fact, water often doesn’t even know it’s there. Engineering researchers coated pieces of gold, copper, ... > full story -
How Protein Networks Stabilize Muscle Fibers: Same Mechanism Known for DNA Now Found for Muscle Proteins
January 23, 2012 — The same mechanism that stabilizes the DNA in the cell nucleus is also important for the structure and function of vertebrate muscle cells. An enzyme attaches a methyl group to the protein Hsp90, ... > full story -
Hyperthermia Treatment of Cancer Using Magnetic Nanoparticles
January 22, 2012 — Scientists have investigated theoretically the mechanism of hyperthermic potentiation of cancers using magnetic nanoparticles, which enables selective heating of hidden micro cancer tissue, and ... > full story -
Superconductivity Success in Fullerene Nanowhiskers
January 22, 2012 — Scientists have succeeded in realizing superconductivity in fullerene nanowhiskers, which are a nanosized carbon material that is lightweight and has a fine fibrous shape. This is a big step toward ... > full story -
Breast Cancer Cells Targeted, Then Burned, by Gold-Filled Silicon Wafers
January 18, 2012 — By shining infrared light on specially designed, gold-filled silicon wafers, scientists have successfully targeted and burned breast cancer cells. If the technology is shown to work in human clinical ... > full story -
