New star-shaped molecule breakthrough
22 Sep 2014 Scientists at The University of Manchester have generated a new star-shaped molecule made up of interlocking rings, which is the most complex of its kind ever created. Known as a ‘Star of David’ molecule, scientists have been trying to create one for over a quarter of a century and the team’s findings are published at 1800 London time / 1300 US Eastern Time on 21 September 2014 in the journal Nature Chemistry. Consisting of two molecular triangles, entwined about
Nano-tech boom looming
Agree with this article, Here are some of the top research areas in nano-technology. -------------- Cancer treatment - Recently, there has been a lot of research into nanoparticles that can be attracted to antibodies of a specific type of cell, for example, cancer cells. When injected into the body, these particles will only attach to cancer cells that have the specific antibody. The nanoparticles can then be heated by shining light onto the skin surface until they reach arou
