New studies in rabbits show that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be monitored in vivo using near-infrared fluorescence and may be useful in medicine
Surrounding synthetic polymers with viral coat proteins leads to new, smaller-sized nanoparticles and opens the way for specifically tuning nanoparticle size for drug delivery
Spin-polarized currents can drive the motion of magnetic domain walls. Now, imaging studies show how the shape of domain walls evolve as they move along a ferromagnetic nanowire
By coating a nanotube with a molecular layer that is thicker on one end than the other, it is possible to control the direction of heat conduction along the tube
With more than 350 nanoproducts already on the market, it is time for a programme of research that fully addresses concerns about the safety of nanotechnology.
