  MRS Materials News: Phototriggerable Release Capules filled with CNTs an drugs

  Carbon Nanotubes efficiently absorb laser light and heat thin-walled, sand-grain-sized nylon capules until they burst. This new delivery system could, for example, assist in pinpointing the release of anti-tumor agents. see DOI:10.1021/ja905378v for the original research report in the Journal ...

  The Era of Nanoparticle Drugs Begins With Erection Cream | Nanotechnology | DISCOVER Magazine

  Over a thousand years ago, Mesopotamian artisans stumbled on a new way to add a special sheen to their ceramics: using microscopic pieces of metal. This "luster" was the first known use of nanoparticles—tiny objects that are less than 100 nanometers long in all three dimensions. In modern ...

  A step toward better brain implants using conducting polymer nanotubes

  The new brain implants developed at U-M are coated with nanotubes made of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a biocompatible and electrically conductive polymer that has been shown to record neural signals better than conventional metal electrodes.
