According to Malini Balakrishnan and Nidhi Srivastava, nanotechnology is an emerging technology for purifying water, should be regulated at this stage with the existing laws. Worldwide, declining water supplies and water quality, which continues to deteriorate, are the basis for innovations in the technology field water treatment. Nanotechnology is a key technology in that it [...]
Nanotechnology has already been an impact on products as diverse as novel foods, medical devices, coatings, chemicals, test kits, medical personnel, sensors security systems, units of water recycling for spaceflight, the video game and movie screens with high resolution. Contribute to the Information Society: The global market for nano-electronics worth hundreds of billions of euros [...]
The triclosan present in toothpastes, soaps and cosmetics due to drug resistance and is suspected of causing hormonal. The Committee for the scientific certainty of the European Union argues that the bactericidal activity of this substance may promote the spread of the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance, a very dangerous phenomenon that undermines the effectiveness of [...]
Through a study using X-ray crystallography has been possible to identify the structure of the CXCR4 protein that, when malfunctioning, promotes cancer and HIV spread. Thanks to a study by the Scripps Research Institute (California), it was possible to “photograph” the structure of the protein CXCR4. It was discovered that the molecule, a protein family [...]
The regions are asking the government to ban the cultivation of GM potato Amflora and of GE maize MON810, the only abstains Lombardia. On October 7, at the Conference of the Regions has discussed the use of GM crops on the Italian territories. Stefano Dario, coordinator of the Agriculture Committee of the Conference of Regional [...]
Based on the concept that relatively spherical objects dipped in a sauce berries cause a series of fully encapsulated, spherical nanoparticles manufacturers have plunged just as protective coatings products in the belief that such encapsulations prevent unwanted chemical groups and interactions with solvents. Unfortunately, the reactions in the nano-world are not logical extensions of the [...]
Magnetic nanoparticles are able to do both diagnosis and therapy, identifying the individual tumor cells: is the perspective theranostics Magnetic nanoparticles are able to do both diagnosis and therapy, identifying the individual tumor cells: is the perspective ‘theranostics’ disclosed by a joint research of the University of Milan, Pavia and Zaragoza presented today in Rome [...]
