Nanosensoren unterst�tzen Therapie von Hautkrebs

Forscher an der Uni Basel haben eine neuartige diagnostische Methode entwickelt, die mit nanomechanischen Sensoren in Form von mikroskopisch kleinen Federbalken die Ribonukleins�ure (RNA) von Krebszellen analysiert und somit gesunde Zellen von Krebszellen unterscheiden kann.

Carbon nanotechnology - stronger than Kevlar, light as a tee-shirt, and cheap all over

Most flexible polymers are inherently flimsy. When you look at their micro-structures it's easy to see why: They look like piles of entangled spaghetti strands. This leads to weak performance, says Northeastern University mechanical engineering professor Marilyn Minus, who is taking advantage of another scientific revolution to change this behavior: carbon nanotechnology.

Listening to cells: Scientists probe human cells with high-frequency sound

Researchers from the University of Bordeaux in France deployed high-frequency sound waves to test the stiffness and viscosity of the nuclei of individual human cells. The scientists predict that the probe could eventually help answer questions such as how cells adhere to medical implants and why healthy cells turn cancerous.
