Now, a quicker, cheaper SARS virus detector
littleabout.com May 30th, 2009 Scientists at the University of Southern California have developed a quicker and cheaper breed of electronic detectors for viruses like SARS and other biological materials, which may prove very helpful in the battle against epidemics. Project leaders Zhongwu Chou and Mark Thompson point out that the basic nanotube and nanowire biosensors consist of a piece of synthetic antibody attached to a nanowire that's attached to an electrical base, immersed in liquid. If the protein to which the antibody binds is present in the liquid, it will bind to these antibodies, immediately creating a sharply measurable jump in current through the nanowire. However, according to the researchers, their new design uses two new elements. Firstly, it takes advantage of bioengineered synthetic antibodies-which are much smaller versions of the natural substances that are designed to bind with a specific protein and only that protein. And secondly, it uses indium oxide (In2O3) nanowires instead of silicon and other materials previously tried. The study has shown that unlike silicon, the metal oxides do not develop "an insulating native oxide layer that can reduce sensitivity." Thus, the resulting device can detect its target molecules with a sensitivity as great as the best alternative modes, do so more rapidly and without use of chemical reagents.

So Long Aspirin, Hello Silver
sciencemag.org May 30th, 2009 Millions of people around the world are prone to dangerous blood clots. Now researchers have had early success with a new way to prevent them--and the strokes, heart attacks, and pulmonary embolisms they cause. Nano-sized particles of silver can stop sticky blood cells called platelets from clinging together in laboratory strains of mice, the team reports. Platelets help the body stop bleeding. But if they clump together too much, they can also form clots within the bloodstream. A deep-vein thrombosis, for example, can form in the lower leg and block blood flow. If the clot is not broken up quickly using injections of powerful anticoagulants, it can break loose and cut blood supply to the heart or brain, with fatal consequences. As a result, the nearly 500 million sufferers worldwide of clotting-related disorders--including this reporter--must take daily doses of anticoagulants, which carry dangers of their own, such as spontaneous and uncontrollable internal bleeding. The key, then, is to find an agent that prevents platelets from sticking together too much without impeding their ability to shunt a bleed. Recent research on silver nanoparticles--tiny grains of the metal less than 1/50,000th the width of a human hair--indicated that they might do the trick. So a biomedical team from Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India, began exploring their potential, in cooperation with materials science colleagues at the university and at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials in Balapur, India.

The worm turns - into graphene
rsc.org May 31st, 2009 Chinese scientists have found a new route to high-quality graphene sheets for making flexible electronics. Hongwei Zhu and co-workers from Tsinghua University in Beijing developed a three-step process to synthesise the one atom-thick carbon sheets from worm-like expanded graphite (WEG). WEG consists of a tall stack of graphene sheets, expanded, but not fully separated into individual layers. Graphene is expected to eventually replace silicon in a revolutionary new breed of flexible electronics for applications including smart clothing, for example, health-monitoring sensors embedded in fabric, and foldable displays. To make the WEG precursor, Zhu mixed natural graphite with sulfuric acid. The acid forced the graphite's layers apart to create a structure with graphite layers held together by sulfuric acid molecules. Zhu heated the resulting compound to decompose the acid, which increased the distance between the graphite sheets even further. He then exfoliated, or repeatedly peeled, the WEG product by ultrasonication and centrifugation to produce the single graphene layers. The graphene was not damaged by these processes; in fact, the individual layers produced were shown by Raman spectroscopy to be almost unchanged from their state in the natural graphite precursor.

Nanotechnology: The future of mobile phones?
itpro.co.uk June 1st, 2009 The Finnish phone giant (Nokia) recently announced its plans to create a transformable mobile phone, by using nanotechnology to produce flexible electronic components that would allow the handset to morph between shapes, develop artificial intelligence, and even clean itself. Known as Morph, the joint venture between Nokia and Cambridge University, seeks to build on the 888 concept, and eventually implement nanotechnology into mobile devices. Dr. Bob Iannucci, chief technology officer (CTO), at Nokia said in a statement: "Nokia Research Centre is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible."

Handphone | an unusual future phone
livemint.com June 2nd, 2009 The Handphone was designed for my personal portfolio. You know, if you want to have space in the industrial design market, you need to impress prospective clients with new ideas. Inspiration is always hard to explain. It came naturally to me. I always thought that the gesture we make every time we ask our friends to call us could be used to design a phone. I was thinking of a phone that could be used and looked like a watch. The Handphone is just a bridge to the future cell phones, when, thanks to nanotechnology, all the elements of the phone will be a customized on a thin and flexible strip on the skin, like a plaster, and it will use the body heat as energy.

Nokia Morph | Nanotechnology, the future of mobile phones
livemint.com June 2nd, 2009 Nokia Morph is a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK). The Morph demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile devices into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.

Ethical Issues in Synthetic Biology: New Report Calls for a Broad Ethics of Emerging Technologies
Synthetic Biology Project June 3rd, 2009 The emerging field of synthetic biology will allow researchers to create biological systems that do not occur naturally as well as to re-engineer existing biological systems to perform novel and beneficial tasks. Synthetic biology promises significant advances in areas such as biofuels, specialty chemicals, agriculture, and medicine but also poses potential risks. As the science and its applications develop, a comprehensive approach to addressing ethical and social issues of emerging technologies as a whole is called for if scarce intellectual resources are to be used optimally, according to a new report authored by Erik Parens, Josephine Johnston, and Jacob Moses of The Hastings Center.

Interleukin-12 therapies prevent open fracture
Biomaterials June 3rd, 2009 Researchers have developed an innovative approach, stimulating the body's natural defense system using interleukin-12 p70 (also termed IL-12) nanocoatings, to prevent open-fracture associated infection. The IL-12 nanocoating, prepared via electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly nanotechnology, has been found to substantially decrease open fracture associated infection in an osteomyelitis rat model. The developed technology has also been shown to be advantageous over traditional systemic and percutaneous treatments. The developed approach might be a revolutionary step toward preventing open fracture associated infections using a non-antibiotic therapy.

NIST Physicists Demonstrate Quantum Entanglement in Mechanical System
NIST June 3rd, 2009 Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated entanglement—a phenomenon peculiar to the atomic-scale quantum world—in a mechanical system similar to those in the macroscopic everyday world. The work extends the boundaries of the arena where quantum behavior can be observed and shows how laboratory technology might be scaled up to build a functional quantum computer.

What We Might Expect of Early Nanofactories
nextbigfuture.com June 3rd, 2009 J Storrs Hall, President of the Foresight Institute, considers what will be the likely situation with early nanofactories. "The first nanofactories will probably be DNA/RNA/protein gadgets requiring thousands of steps by skilled scientists to coax them to build a new gadget (which will consist only of DNA/RNA/protein), or diamondoid gadgets in high vacuum requiring thousands of steps by skilled scientists to coax them to build a new gadget (which will consist only of diamondoid), or possibly even tungsten carbide gadgets doing EDM with nanotubes, requiring thousands of steps by skilled scientists to coax them to build a new gadget (which will consist only of tungsten carbide, the nanotubes having to be supplied from outside). Early nanofactories will be cranky and experimental, expensive, require expensive inputs, be able to produce only very limited products, and be very lucky to replicate themselves before they break down."

Graphene Shows Promise for Future IC Interconnects

Skyscraper approach to nanoelectronics
rsc.org June 5th, 2009 Scientists based at the University of Georgia, US, have grown conjugated polymer brushes directly onto monolayers, producing films with thicknesses less than 42 nanometres. This is a significant breakthrough for nanotechnology as existing techniques for creating electronics on the nanoscale are reaching their limits. Previous attempts to grow conjugated polymers on monolayers have had limited success. Using a modified Kumada-type catalyst-transfer polycondensation, Jason Locklin and his team grew polyphenylene and polythiophene brushes, from aryl Grignard monomers, on gold monolayers. They analysed the polymer brushes using cyclic voltammetry, polarization modulation-infrared reflection-adsorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. 'This surface-initiated polymerisation technique allows one to create conjugated polymer films in a controlled fashion,' Locklin comments. The technique 'allows for a high density of functional groups to be obtained in a limited area. This has been called the skyscraper approach.'
