14.05.2009Devices that would be able to separate nanoparticles and even individual molecules by size have been created over the past few years. An easy-to-manufacture device for size separation of nanoparticles and large biomolecules suspended in a liquid was created by specialists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Cornell University
10.04.2009In his report "Nanotechnology: Innovations at the point of contact between government and business", the CEO of RUSNANO called on Germany to cooperate with Russia, calling the possibilities of such cooperation unique.
10.04.2009Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held a working meeting with the Director General of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies A.B.Chubais.
07.04.2009In the film "Size Matters", famous Russian scientists fascinatingly tell what nanotechnology is and what nanotechnologists do.
06.04.2009Review of recent developments in nanomedicine and nanobiotechnology in the latest issue of the digest "Nanotechnology in the world" (February 2009).
01.04.2009A material has been created for artificial muscles capable of working equally well in liquid nitrogen and molten iron. The gel is slightly heavier than air, tougher than steel and more elastic than rubber, expands three times in milliseconds and becomes denser when it is stretched.
20.03.2009When the drug changes its shape and properties, the dose is reduced tenfold, side effects are sharply reduced, at the same time, the clinical therapeutic effect is preserved for this type of drug and for this type of tumor. The tumor is treated as effectively as with conventional drugs today.
19.02.2009The dean of the Faculty of Materials Sciences, Head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the Chemical Faculty of Moscow State University, one of the organizers of the Nanotechnology Society of Russia, academician Yu.D.Tretyakov answered the questions of readers of <url>.
18.02.2009Scientists from the N.F.Gamalei State Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology invent a fundamentally new implant. It uses both titanium, specially manufactured at an aviation plant, and stem cell growth factors.
16.02.2009The director of the Nanobiotechnology Center being created at SPbPU, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, talks about the research that is supposed to be carried out on its basis.
05.02.2009It is unclear whether the dietary supplement industry is conducting the rigorous testing necessary to understand the effects of nano-ingredients in products, as well as the characteristics of products. This means that consumers are potentially exposed to risk, which must be balanced with the possible benefits of taking such supplements.
22.01.2009When irradiated with near-infrared light, the gold nanoparticle heats up, the complementary bonds between the oligonucleotides of the double-stranded DNA segments attached to it are destroyed, and the released single-stranded nucleic acid molecules can participate in the degradation of mRNA and block the synthesis of the corresponding protein.
19.01.2009Researchers have managed to create artificial high-density lipoproteins (HDL) based on nanoparticles, which can become a promising means of combating atherosclerosis.
16.01.2009Tatiana Nikolenko, Director of Infrastructure Programs at RUSNANO, and Andrey Ivashchenko, director of the HimRar center, believe that it is more profitable to buy innovations in the West – there they are brought to the stage of business projects. And the chief scientific coordinator of the ISTC, Tatiana Gremyakova, is sure that RUSNANO's investments are in dire need of Russian applied science, which will finally wither if all the money goes to the West.
12.01.2009We have already lost the information revolution, in the sense of "hardware". The next one, the nanobiotechnological one, is happening right before our eyes. Whoever wins it will dictate their terms in the XXI century. Now in the West, a huge number of university groups, laboratories, and companies are working in the field of nanotechnology. And Russia, by and large, is just beginning to move in this direction.
30.12.2008Attaching magnetic nanoparticles to antibodies instead of fluorescent dye molecules increases the sensitivity of detecting marker proteins by about a hundred times. And ultra-fine polishing with the help of liquid suspensions of quartz nanoparticles, which are used for the same purposes in the semiconductor industry, makes the enamel so "slippery" that bacteria cease to stay on it.
22.12.2008The most frightening example: sunscreen creams contain titanium oxide nanoparticles that easily penetrate into the skin and are found in the epidermis within 8 hours after applying the cream. Since the beginning of the mass use of such creams, the incidence of skin cancer in the United States has increased by 90%!
18.12.2008Nanodrugs need new preclinical testing procedures, a round table organized by RUSNANO showed
03.12.2008Harmless calcium phosphate particles with a size of 20-50 nanometers successfully pass into cells and dissolve, releasing their "cargo" – a drug and a fluorescent dye.
