Laser Tech to Improve Free Space Communications
A high-speed communications technology not limited by a physical
conductor such as fiber optics has been developed using laser light to
transmit data through readily available open space. This optical free
space communication could lead to faster Internet for the............MORE>>>>
Optical Fiber Device Promises Safer Drug Delivery
A new optical fiber-based drug delivery device promises to unlock the
potential of photosensitive chemicals to kill drug-resistant infections
and perhaps cancer tumors as well. The device was designed and ..............MORE>>>>
Nanoparticles could offer relief from rashes
Nanoparticles, so tiny that 2,000 would fit
across the thickness of a human hair, could prevent the itchy, red rash
millions suffer because of allergy to nickel in jewellery, coins...................MORE>>>>
Optical Nanoantennas Could Improve Data Transfer
Metallic antennas 100 nm in size that efficiently receive optical
frequencies in the range of several hundreds of terahertz have been
realized by researchers, who say this breakthrough could speed up...................MORE>>>>

Tiny inhaled particles take easy route from nose to brain
By University of Rochester Medical Center,
[RxPG] In a continuing effort to find out if
the tiniest airborne particles pose a health risk, University of
Rochester Medical Center scientists showed that when rats breathe in
nano-sized materials they follow a rapid and efficient pathway from................MORE>>>>
Nanostructures lend cutting edge to antibiotics
Arming antibiotic drugs with nanostructures would make them much more effective in targeting infected cells. These tiny particles would zoom in on infected cells but leave the healthy ones unharmed, according to................MORE>>>>
Nanotechnology can identify disease at early cellular level
By College of veterinary medicine at Ohio State University,
[RxPG] Nanotechnology may one day help
physicians detect the very earliest stages of serious diseases like
cancer, a new study suggests.It would do so by improving the quality of images produced b................MORE>>>>
