(Phys.org) -- Researchers in Spain have succeeded in building a photodetector that is a billion times more sensitive than other such detectors based on graphene and could herald the use of graphene based light sensors and solar cells. The team, from the Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques, in Barcelona, describe their research and results in a paper theyve published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. →Phys | Researchers | Spain | The | Institut | Ciencies | Fotoniques | Barcelona | 146 | Nature | Nanotechnology | | 2012-05-09
Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have developed a miniaturized biochip for investigating the effect of drugs on cancer stem cells (CSCs). Published recently in Nano Today, this new technology could boost the development of more effective cancer drugs. →Researchers | Institute | Bioengineering | Nanotechnology | IBN | CSCs | Published | Nano | Today | | 2012-04-05
Nanotechnology offers powerful new possibilities for targeted cancer therapies, but the design challenges are many. Northwestern University scientists now are the first to develop a simple but specialized nanoparticle that can deliver a drug directly to a cancer cell's nucleus -- an important feature for effective treatment. →Nanotechnology | Northwestern | University | |
