Going For Gold With A Novel Interventional Radiology Treatment For Pancreatic Cancer (Medical News Today)
Pancreatic cancer known as the most fatal cancer with no known effective treatment requires a radical new therapy. A promising approach may come in the form of tiny gold nanoparticles loaded with a therapeutic agent to kill cancer in a novel procedure called “nanoembolization,” said researchers at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 35th Annual... »
MIT: Self-Assembling Computer Chips (redOrbit)
Hitchin’ postsBerggren and Ross’ approach is to use electron-beam lithography sparingly, to create patterns of tiny posts on a silicon chip. They then deposit specially designed polymers — molecules in which smaller, repeating molecular units are linked into long chains — on the chip. The polymers spontaneously hitch up to the posts and arrange... »
