Ever since cell phones were invented people have spread rumors and gathered research on the topic, specifically around cell phones and brain cancer. Since cell phones emit a certain amount of radiation, and since theyāre on our ears a lot, ...
Nanoscale Transistors Probe Cells
Scientists from Harvard University recently introduced a unique method to probe interior cells. Their design consists of ultra-small wires and transistors, sensitive enough to respond to various biological changes, thus measuring biochemical elements. A new device, small enough to be ...
Slowing Cancer Metabolism
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts are exploring new cancer drugs that work to slow or block cancer metabolism, effectively starving cancer cells to death. According to their study, the scientists identified a ...
New āSmartā Nanocapsule Delivery System
Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have recently developed a new intracellular delivery platform that uses nanocapsules. These tiny capsules are made up of a single-protein core and has a thin polymer shell; thanks ...
Improving Chip Memory by Stacking Cells
Scientists at Arizona State University have recently announced an original method of significantly improving the memory capacity of electronic chips. Their technique, based on ionic memory technology, is very efficient since it relies on existing electronic materials, thus maintaining manufacturing ...
A Cellās āCapā of Bundled Fibers
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Engineering in Oncology Center have recently shown that in healthy cells, a bundled ācapā of thread-like fibers holds the cellās nucleus in its proper place. The nucleus includes the cellās genetic storehouse, and understanding the ...
