Public Release: 16-Jul-2012
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesGold nanoparticles could treat prostate cancer with fewer side effects than chemotherapy University of Missouri scientists have found a more efficient way of targeting prostate tumors by using gold nanoparticles and a compound found in tea leaves. This new treatment would require doses that are thousands of times smaller than chemotherapy and do not travel through the body inflicting damage to healthy areas. Contact: Christian Basi

Nature PhotonicsUnique properties of graphene lead to a new paradigm for low-power telecommunications Columbia engineers have demonstrated remarkable optical nonlinear behavior of graphene that may lead to broad applications in optical interconnects and low-power photonic integrated circuits. Tthe researchers used graphene to transform the originally passive device into an active one that generated microwave photonic signals and performed parametric wavelength conversion at telecommunication wavelengths. Showing the power-efficiency of the device, they say, is an important advance in building all-optical processing elements essential to faster, more efficient, modern telecommunications.

Chemical ScienceUMD creates new tech for complex micro structures for use in sensors & other apps University of Maryland Chemistry Professor John Fourkas and his research group have developed new materials and nanofabrication techniques for building miniaturized versions of components needed for medical diagnostics, sensors and other applications. These miniaturized components -- many impossible to make with conventional techniques -- would allow for rapid analysis at lower cost and with small sample volumes.

Nature CommunicationsUK nanodevice builds electricity from tiny pieces A team of scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and University of Cambridge has made a significant advance in using nano-devices to create accurate electrical currents. Electrical current is composed of billions and billions of tiny particles called electrons. NPL scientists have developed an electron pump – a nano-device –, which picks these electrons up one at a time and moves them across a barrier, creating a very well-defined electrical current.

NatureSmart materials get SMARTer Living organisms have developed sophisticated ways to maintain stability in a changing environment, withstanding fluctuations in temperature, pH, pressure, and the presence or absence of crucial molecules. The integration of similar features in artificial materials, however, has remained a challenge -- until now.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesTiny bubbles snap carbon nanotubes like twigs A computer model from Rice University shows that long nanotubes bend and snap like a twig when blasted with ultrasonic energy. The research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that short and long nanotubes behave differently during sonication. The discovery answers a longstanding question about the origin of competing power laws that were found in experiments on cutting nanotubes by sonication.
