Advance in separating carbon nanotubes brings space elevators a step closer

Carbon nanotubes are very strong and light and can be 100 times stronger than the equivalent weight of steel. Carbon nanotubes bearing the same qualities can interlock with one another. But until now, no one had figured out a way to identify and separate nanotubes according to their properties. Papadimitrakopoulos and his team at the …

DNA origami based nanomachine for future microsurgery and neuro-imaging sensors and direct cellular interaction

Shrink-wrapped nanomachinesMaking a device that operates at a scale 1000 times smaller than a human hair requires many molecular parts. A combination of DNA, silver, gold and fat molecules called liposomes are just some of the parts that will power and control a nanodevice designed to work like a remote controlled pacemaker to deliver an …

Enhancing magnetic sail launches using Light weight high volume magnet production

In theory, it is possible for a magnetic sail to launch directly from the surface of a planet near one of its magnetic poles, repelling itself from the planet’s magnetic field. However, this requires the magnetic sail to be maintained in its “unstable” orientation. A launch from Earth requires superconductors with 80 times the current …

Two Stem cells advances: one for vascular treatment another for controlled release of cells

South Korean scientists said Monday they used human embryonic stem cells to treat mice suffering from a vascular disease, in an experiment that could lead to cures for strokes and other ailments. The stem cells were differentiated into blood vessels that were grafted onto the animals afflicted with ischemia. Ischemia is caused by a shortage …
