Look at Mie! (EurekAlert!)
( Rice University ) Rice students put calculations by German physicist Gustav Mie, made in 1908, to the test when they decided to look at the optical properties of single nanoparticles.

Gecko-inspired dry printing of nanotube patterns to revolutionize microelectronics (New Kerala)
Washington, Jan 26 : Inspired by how a gecko sticks to the smoothest of surfaces via strong van der Waals force between its millions of hairs, researchers at Rice University have come up with a way to transfer forests of strongly aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from one surface to any other surface in... »
Gecko’s lessons transfer well (EurekAlert!)
( Rice University ) Rice graduate student Cary Pint has come up with a way to transfer forests of strongly aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes from one surface to another — any surface — in a matter of minutes. The template used to grow the nanotubes, with its catalyst particles still intact, can be used... »
Texas scientists develop ‘nanodragster’ (ZDNet)
Scientists at Rice University are reporting the development of a “nanodragster” that measures only 1/50,000th the width of a human hair. The research may speed the course toward development of a new generation of futuristic molecular machines.

Tracking New Cancer-Killing Particles With MRI (redOrbit)
Nanoparticle could allow diagnosis, treatment in one visitResearchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have created a single nanoparticle that can be tracked in real time with MRI as it homes in on cancer cells, tags them with a fluorescent dye and kills them with heat.
