Diamond
beetles The future of technologies that use light to transmit information and generate electricity could lie in the scales of an iridescent green beetle. [more]
Lasing spaser
In 2003, researchers proposed making a device that would concentrate plasmons the same way laser concentrates light. A new proposal marries the plasmon spaser with a metamaterial to produce very thin chips that have built-in lasers. [more]
Nanotube-cancer concern
Add a new potential risk to the list of health concerns about carbon nanotubes: asbestos-induced cancers. [more]
This chip is a pill
The humble medicinal pill is getting a high-tech update. [more]
Cells prefer stripes
Artificial nanoparticles that can enter living cells are useful for delivering drugs, diagnosing diseases and studying biology. Early models have tended to either damage cells or fail to reach cell interiors. [more]
Snip-and-tag DNA sequencing
A method of fragmenting and mapping DNA molecules provides rapid and inexpensive genome sequencing, which promises to boost medical and biological research. [more]

WATCH June 5th, 2008 Protein ignorance Now we have an idea about how much we don’t know about human biology — lots. May 14th, 2008 Bury the trees May 1, 2008 Nanotech surge April 25, 2008 Sulfur stinks |
| "Physics
is to the rest of science what machine tools are to engineering. A
corollary is that science places power in our hands which can be used
for good or ill. Technology has been abused in this way throughout
the ages from gunpowder to atomic bombs." - John Pendry, Imperial College London |
