Properties and Applications of Silica Nanoparticles Silicon dioxide nanoparticles, also known as silica nanoparticles, are promising for biological applications owing to their excellent biocompatibility, low toxicity, thermal stability, facile synthetic route, and large-scale synthetic availability. The particle size, crystallinity, porosity, and shape can be precisely manipulated, enabling the silica nanoparticles for various applications. Moreover, numerous available surface modifications of silica nanoparticles permit their control of surface chemistry to achieve drug loading, good dispensability, and site-specific targeting.

Dose of vitamin C helps gold nanowires grow: Scientists produce valuable nanowires from short particles without the bulk A boost of vitamin C helped Rice University scientists turn small gold nanorods into fine gold nanowires. Common, mild ascorbic acid is the not-so-secret sauce that helped the Rice lab of chemist Eugene Zubarev grow pure batches of nanowires from stumpy nanorods without the drawbacks of previous techniques. "There's no novelty per se in using vitamin C to make gold nanostructures because there are many previous examples," Zubarev said. "But the slow and controlled reduction achieved by vitamin C is surprisingly suitable for this type of chemistry in producing extra-long nanowires." Details of the work appear in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano.

Recovery of Drug Delivery Nanoparticles from Human Plasma Using an Electrokinetic Platform Technology - Ibsen - 2015 - Small The effect of complex biological fluids on the surface and structure of nanoparticles is a rapidly expanding field of study. One of the challenges holding back this research is the difficulty of recovering therapeutic nanoparticles from biological samples due to their small size, low density, and stealth surface coatings. Here, the first demonstration of the recovery and analysis of drug delivery nanoparticles from undiluted human plasma samples through the use of a new electrokinetic platform technology is presented. The particles are recovered from plasma through a dielectrophoresis separation force that is created by innate differences in the dielectric properties between the unaltered nanoparticles and the surrounding plasma.

Nanoparticles Destroy Soil and The Environment - Study Finds by Ethan A. Huff staff writer April 20, 2011 from NaturalNews Website UC Berkeley professor’s ‘slaughterbots’ video on killer drones goes viral A UC Berkeley computer science professor helped to create a video that imagined a world where nuclear weapons were replaced by swarms of autonomous tiny drones that could kill half a city and are virtually unstoppable. Stuart Russell, the professor, said these drones are already a reality. The video takes the viewer to an auditorium where a speaker showcases a drone roughly the size of a mockingbird. At one point the drone lands on his hand, the speaker quickly recalibrates it and then throws it out into the audience again. After a few seconds, the small drone turns back to the stage and crashes into the forehead of a dummy standing off to the left of the speaker. The demonstration was meant to show how a palm-sized drone is capable of penetrating a human’s skull and destroying “the contents" inside.

nanomarkassimilation Directory of info in regarding Assimilation and Mutation by NanoGentic Engineering Nano Aerosols These have been with us since the industrial revolution and since the early 50's these particulates were called ultrafine particles that were released into the environment~ and over the years through increased releasing of chemicals these particulate matter have interacted in the atmosphere producing chemistry that is not even listed in the periodic table.

Synthetic telepathy Synthetic telepathy“Artificial Telepathy” is the art of electronically transfering thought directly to and from a brain. The primary objectives of www.nanobrainimplant.com are to expose technology that can provide point to point communication from one brain to another, to localize unwanted sources of telepathic communication, and to provide evidence that technologically implemented telepathy is possible. Technology to block unwanted voices is being investigated. Could 'Nanowood' Replace Styrofoam? Expanded polystyrene (or “Styrofoam”) is an excellent insulator. That’s why it’s a popular material for insulating buildings—and why those cheap little cups of deli coffee still burn your tongue after 30 minutes. But its environmental record leaves something to be desired.

Nanowire 'Inks' Enable Paper-Based Printable Electronics Printed electronics, which are already being used on a wide scale in devices such as the anti-theft radio frequency identification (RFID) tags you might find on the back of new DVDs, currently have one major drawback: for the circuits to work, they first have to be heated to melt all the nanoparticles together into a single conductive wire, making it impossible to print circuits on inexpensive plastics or paper. A new study by Duke researchers shows that tweaking the shape of the nanoparticles in the ink might just eliminate the need for heat. By comparing the conductivity of films made from different shapes of silver nanostructures, the researchers found that electrons zip through films made of silver nanowires much easier than films made from other shapes, like nanospheres or microflakes.

Ingestible origami robot In experiments involving a simulation of the human esophagus and stomach, researchers at MIT, the University of Sheffield, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have demonstrated a tiny origami robot that can unfold itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, crawl across the stomach wall to remove a swallowed button battery or patch a wound. The new work, which the researchers are presenting this week at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, builds on a long sequence of papers on origami robots from the research group of Daniela Rus, the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. “It’s really exciting to see our small origami robots doing something with potential important applications to health care,” says Rus, who also directs MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).

We’re Now One Backflip Closer to the Robopocalypse After teasing us with a preview of their new and strangely ‘dog-like’ robot SpotMini, Boston Dynamics showed us what they were up to with their other robot, Atlas, and it’s impressively terrifying to say the least. Fellow humans, we had a good run, but the end is nigh.

Fullerene - Wikipedia The discovery of fullerenes greatly expanded the number of known carbon allotropes, which had previously been limited to graphite, graphene, diamond, and amorphous carbon such as soot and charcoal. Buckyballs and buckytubes have been the subject of intense research, both for their chemistry and for their technological applications, especially in materials science, electronics, and nanotechnology.
