Nanostructured Integrated Circuit Detects Type and Severity of Cancer (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) — A team of investigators from the University of Toronto have used nanomaterials to develop an inexpensive microchip sensitive enough to quickly determine the type and severity of a patient’s cancer so that the disease can be detected earlier for more effective treatment. Their work, reported in two papers published in the journals... »
Nanoparticles from antibacterial textiles could harm fish and other wildlife (News-Medical-Net)
Scientists in Switzerland are reporting results of one of the first studies on the release of silver nanoparticles from laundering those anti-odor, anti-bacterial socks now on the market. Their findings, scheduled for the Nov. 1 issue of ACS’ journal Environmental Science & Technology, may suggest ways that manufacturers and consumers can minimize the release... »
