Nanotechnology in the fight against the oil – Pest
What is currently in front of and on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico happening is bizarre, not to put into words, just terrible. Since the Explosion of the platform, ” Deep water Horizon ” on 20 April flow from the borehole further large quantities of oil into the sea. BP tries to indicated [...]
The Perfect Nanocubo
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST) in the U.S. have developed a simple process to produce nanocrystals that will enable studies of certain physical and chemical properties that affect how nanoparticles interact with the world around them. This is to understand the environmental risks, health and safety of these particles. [...]
Nanotechnology applied to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
One of the characteristics they have in common neurodegenerative diseases Like Alzheimer’s Is the existence of neuronal death , the neurons difficult to regenerate themselves , we need to regeneralas Stem Cells from any possible sources such as embryos, umbilical cord or bone marrow , which must be injected directly into the brain, this procedure [...]
Multi- tool :measure nanoparticles separated fluidic and microwave absorbing nanoparticles
Researchers National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST ) from USA has designed a nanoscale fluidic device that functions as a “multi- tool to work with miniature nanoparticles. First introduced in March 2009 , the device consists of a camera with a cascading “ladder” nanofluídicos 30 channels with a depth of about 80 nanometers in [...]
Prostate cancer has a different origin to the case
The prostate contains two cell types, the luminal cells, responsible for secreting differentiated prostate specific antigen and basal cell, undifferentiated and whose mission is to act as a dividing stem cell in case of need. So far , scientists considered the former as responsible for prostate cancer , but a study published in Science reveals [...]
New method can detect contaminants in blood
Researchers at the National Research Council , led by Joan Grimalt, have found a new procedure to detect up to 200 compounds in a small polluted blood sample. The pollutants detected are the organochlorine type (such as DDT ) or brominated . They are toxic and enter the body through the diet , so their [...]
h- BN sheets could help to replace silicon graphene
Researchers have discovered how to make h- BN sheets , which could become a nice complement to the graphene. Graphene , touted as a possible successor to silicon in microelectronic applications , is the new star of the research laboratories that hope to capitalize on its magnificent electronic properties. hexagonal boron nitride, Or h- BN [...]
