Researchers at Polytechnique Montréal have succeeded in changing the genetic material of cancer cells using a brand-new transfection method. This major breakthrough in nanosurgery opens the door to new medical applications, among others for the treatment of cancers. A light scalpel to treat cancerous cells The unique method developed by Professor Michel Meunier and his …

Eurekalert – Researchers at the Nano-Science Center at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new nano-technology platform for the development of molecule-based electronic components using the wonder material graphene. At the same time, they have solved a problem that has challenged researchers from around world for ten years. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene …
The graph distributed at the JET Energy MIT open cold fusion/LANR demonstration of the NANOR CF/LANR technology (see 2nd graph below) actually quite clearly showed, and still shows, a thermal output power of the NANOR closer to 78 milliwatts than 18 milliwatts. Steve Krivit’s attacked the MIT demo. “Swartz Makes Misleading Claim of LENR Excess …
Forbes – Multinationals are investing more in the service sector than in the manufacturing sector as recent as 2008, marking a structural shift in the Chinese economy. Rising wages, in addition to the changing policy landscape, have cooled investment in the manufacturing sector, especially on the coastal cities of Shanghai and Beijing. Monthly wages in …
A relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods – rod-shaped semiconductor nanocrystals – to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures has been developed by a team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). This technique should enable more effective use of nanorods …
Fightaging – Exercise extends healthy life in laboratory animals, but not maximum life span as is the case for calorie restriction. Present evidence suggests exercise and calorie restriction to have broadly similar – though very different in detail – effects on life expectancy. There is as yet no study on exercise that reproduces similar eye-opening …
1. Closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s armed forces is really easy … or as Iranians say it will be easier than drinking a glass of water,” Iran’s navy chief Habibollah Sayyari told Iran’s English language Press TV. “But right now, we don’t need to shut it as we have the Sea of Oman …
New Scientist – Musk declared recently that he could put a human on Mars in 10 to 20 years’ time. It is a remarkable claim, yet even more astonishingly Musk tells me that he could do it for $5 billion, and possibly as little as $2 billion – a snip when you consider that the …
Nature Asia Materials – Electrochemical co-deposition of two metals followed by the selective etching of one allows for the synthesis of nanospring structures. In order to exploit the particular material properties that appear at the nanoscale, it is first necessary to fabricate materials with nanoscale structures in a controlled and repeatable fashion. Reliable methods for …
1. Telegraph UK – The eurozone banking system is on the edge of collapse as major lenders begin to run out of the assets they need to keep vital funding lines open. Senior analysts and traders warned of impending bank failures as a summit intended to solve the European crisis failed to deliver a solution …
