Nanotech Researchers Discover Cancer Cells “Feel” Much Softer Than Normal
Cells
A multidisciplinary team of scientists from the University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA), were able to differentiate metastatic
cancer cells from normal cells in patient samples by utilizing a modified form
of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure the softness of the cells. [ read more ]
Nanoparticles Harvest Tumor

NanoArt 2007 International Online Competition - Invitation
to VOTE
Cris Orfescu January 12th, 2008 NanoArt is a new art discipline at the intersections of
Art, Science and Technology, and relates to the micro or nanosculptures
(atomic and molecular sculptures) created by artists or scientists through
chemical or physical processes and visualized with powerful research tools like
scanning electron or atomic force microscopes. The scientific images of these
structures are captured and further processed using different artistic
techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences.
T-cell
'nanotubes' may explain how HIV virus conquers human immune system
Imperial College London January 14th, 2008 String-like
connections found between T-cells could be important to how HIV spreads between
cells in the human immune system, according to new research published online
today (13 January 2008) in Nature Cell Biology. The newly-discovered strands,
named 'membrane nanotubes' by scientists, could help to explain how the HIV
virus infects human immune cells so quickly and effectively.

Set Aside for Nanotechnology
themoscowtimes.com January 17th, 2008 The
Cabinet on Thursday gave the nod to ambitious measures aimed at boosting sales
in the country's nanotechnology sector at least 130-fold in the next seven
years. According to the plan, sales of materials and equipment based on
nanotechnology will rise to 900 billion rubles, or about $36 billion, by 2015,
the government said on its web site. The total for last year was 7 billion
rubles. Education and Science Minister Andrei Fursenko
was even more ambitious, predicting after the Cabinet session that the sales
would grow to 1 trillion rubles.
