Scientists at University of Cambridge hope to create new generation of super-computers. Cambridge wins £4.4 m grant to research nanostructures

 
 
 

Knotting Nanoropes

Nanoropes

Biomimetic systems that are composed of rigid polymers or filaments and crosslinking molecules can be used to assemble Nanoropes, filament networks and bundles. The bundles represent `nanoropes' and exhibit material properties that are primarily determined by the number of plaited filaments.

 
     
 

Nanoworld sets the Limit to "Small"

Nanscale limit

Scientist at University of Arizona stating 25 Nanometer as the limit to which object can be shrinked. This is mainly due to existence of Vander waal's force existing between atom and molecules of any substance.

 
     
 

Smart Nanoprobes to locate the Diseases.


Nanoprobes to locate the disease

Quantum Dots are programmed with the technique called 'Quenching' to glow in presence of Enzyme Activity. Researchers from Rice University Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) have developed Smart NanoProbes hundreds of times smaller than a human cell that lights up only when activated by specific proteases (Enzymes that degrade Proteins). Such Enzymes degrading proteins are common in diseases like cancer and atherosclerosis

 
     
 

Smart Bionanotubes Developed

Smart Bionanotubes

"Smart" bionanotubes: Lipid protein nanotubes made of microtuble protein (made of tubulin protein subunits shown as red-blue-yellow-green objects) that is coated by a lipid bilayer (drawn with yellow tails and green and white spherical heads) which in turn is coated by tubulin protein rings or spirals. By controlling the relative amount of lipid and protein it is possible to switch between two states of nanotubes with either open ends (shown in the center) or closed ends with lipid caps (shown on the left), a process which forms the basis for controlled chemical and drug encapsulation and release.

 
     
 


Nanotechnology Center in India


Veeco Instrumentation Inc, a leading provider of instrumentation and engineering products to nanotechnology community annouced their plans to open a nanotechnology centers in Bangalore, India. Facility will be equipped with Veeco's latest AFM's (Atomic Force Microscope's), Scanning Tunneling Microscope (SPM) alongwith other advanced nanotechnology products. Bangalore Facility will be managed with local scientist and engineers in the nanotechnology fields. This Nanotechnology facility will be associated with Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR).

 
     
 

Carbon Nanotubes for fastest communication of computer and mobile networks

Carbon Nanotubes

Nanotechnology Scientist at University of California Irvine demonstrated the fastest propagation of Electrical signals with the help of Carbon Nanotubes. Nanotubes can achieve speed as fast as 10 GHz which is much faster than traditional channels of Aluminium or copper wires. This breakthrough will lead to more faster and efficient network for computers, cell phone systems and wireless networks.
