Google plans to develop nanoparticles that will help you find out if you have cancer during the early stages of the disease. Google X, the company’s arm that searches for revolutionary innovations, came up with the idea of placing high-tech nanoparticles in the bloodstream to analyze any changes in the fluid’s chemistry. Cancerous tissue can be detected early on if properly investigated. … [Read more...]
Scientists create first man-made ‘living materials’ using E coli
Taking inspiration from the natural materials like bones and minerals, the researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created first man-made living materials using E.coli bacteria. The unique feature of this new invention is that the created material has properties of both living and non-living things. The researchers coaxed the bacteria cells to produce biofilms that can … [Read more...]
Scientists Discovered New Technique To Measure Nanoparticles’ Mass
Measuring the mass of a nanoparticle is a complex job. Recently, MIT engineers have discovered a way to measure its mass. Measurement of mass of a nanoparticle would help the scientists in better understanding the functioning and composition of the nanoparticles. The new system developed is known as SMR-Suspended Microchannel Resonator. It measures the mass of the minutest of particles with a … [Read more...]
