Peptide-covered iron nanoparticles home in on cancerous tumors

Researchers discover that covering iron-oxide nanoparticles with a special peptide allows nanoparticles to stick to blood protein clots found only on the blood-vessel walls of cancerous tumors. Once stuck to the clot, the researchers say that additional nanoparticles accumulate at the clot site, which eventually will stop blood flow and ultimately will kill the tumor.

Nanodots may drastically increase digital data storage capacity
Written By: William Atkins
Section: Science

Scientists are developing tiny magnetic particles called nanodots that are only a few billionth of a meter in diameter. The nanodots are showing promise in decreasing the amount of data storage space by at least one-hundred times what is currently held with hard disk drives. With storage requirements doubling about every year, nanodots may hold the answer to handling increasingly large amounts of digital data.

Chemical engineering researchers IIsoon Lee and Troy Hendricks from Michigan State University (MSU) have postulated that nanoparticles could prevent human skin from wrinkling. While researching the use of nanoparticles to prevent the buckling and wrinkling of thin polymer films, they conclude that their research results could equally be applied to human skin wrinkles.
