 | A team has created the smallest iron oxide nanoparticles to date for cancer detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The magnetic nanoparticles operate like tiny guided missiles, seeking and attaching themselves to malignant tumor cells. Once they bind, the particles emit stronger signals that MRI scans can detect. ...> Full Article |
 | A measuring procedure can help to investigate in some detail the behaviour of magnetic nanoparticles which are used for cancer therapy. ...> Full Article |
Researchers are developing techniques to coax carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into ordered structures - essentially making the nanotubes do the hard work for them.
