Nanotechnology leads to better bone implants

A team of U.S. researchers has found a new and inexpensive way to create a nanowire coating for titanium surfaces used in bone implants. Their nanowire scaffolds can be used 'to create more effective surfaces for hip replacement, dental reconstruction and vascular stenting.' As said the lead researcher, 'We can...

Weaving cartilage in 3-D

Today, people who suffer from cartilage damage dont have effective therapies at their disposal. But now, researchers at the Duke University Medical Center have developed a weaving machine to repair cartilage. Using a patients own stem cells in conjunction with their new three-dimensional fabric "scaffold" could lead to a better...

Scaffolds for skin reconstruction

It's a well-known fact that our skin protecting us from diseases. And when it's damaged by severe burns or injuries, we need to replace it by healthy tissue, which is not always possible. But now, researchers at the University of Sheffield have developed a dissolvable scaffold for growing new areas...

Building 3-D particles with light

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT have used ultraviolet light to create mass-producing 3-D microparticles that could be used for medical diagnostics and tissue engineering. 'For example, they could be designed to act as probes to detect certain molecules, such as DNA, or to release drugs or nutrients.'...

The secrets of mother-of-pearl strength

Do you know that the nacre layer, or mother-of-pearl, which is found in pearls and abalone shells is 3,000 times more fracture-resistant than aragonite, the mineral of which it is composed? According to researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison, this remarkable strength "is due to well-defined nanolayers of organics at the...

How silicon-based drugs could treat cancer

The lives of almost living organisms on Earth, including ourselves, are carbon-based. And when were sick, were exclusively treated with carbon-based medicines. But now, a team of chemists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison had a bright idea. Why not replace carbon atoms by silicon atoms? And by modifying a drug...

NANA: A Nano-Scale Active Network Architecture

This paper explores the architectural challenges introduced by emerging bottom-up fabrication of nanoelectronic circuits. The specific nanotechnology the paper explores proposes patterned DNA nanostructures as a scaffold for the placement and interconnection of carbon nanotube or silicon nanorod FETs to create a limited size circuit node. Three characteristics of this...
