The gold rods are roughly times smaller than red blood cell. A related news release is available. Engineers also have led research aimed at overcoming the van der Waals forces that often cause nanotubes to stick to structures. Nanomeasurements Fitting together nanodevices will likely require ultraprecise measurement of their tiny components, and researchers might use still tinier hollow fibers called multiwalled carbon nanotubes to make such measurements. Spotlighting nanotech research at Purdue Cancer detection Ultrasensitive medical imaging of cells for cancer detection could be possible with tiny nanorods made of gold.

Nanomeasurements Fitting together nanodevices will likely require ultraprecise measurement of their tiny components, and researchers might use still tinier hollow fibers called multiwalled carbon nanotubes to make such measurements. This technology will likely be used in the future to create electronic devices at lower than is possible with conventional manufacturing processes. A related news release is available. New findings could lead to better communications and imaging technologies.

Purdue scientists also said this effect, impossible to achieve with lenses made of materials with positive refractive indices, occurs at the wavelength of visible light, including molecules such as DNA, for research and medical imaging. Molecular electronics Electronic devices based on DNA molecules are the goal of Purdue engineers, who have attached magnetic nanoparticles to DNA and then cut these DNA wires into pieces, offering the promise of creating lowcost, selfassembling devices for future computers. The method also might have military applications in portable electronics for soldiers and for equipment in spacecraft and submarines.

on firm footing toward developing innovative nanotechnologies. Nanotechnology is opening up new avenues of manipulating matter on scale little larger than atoms and moleculesthe stuff that makes up the world we live in. For instance, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used computer models to demonstrate how buckyballs might deform DNAif they are able to penetrate to cells nucleus while researchers in Dublin, Ireland, have published evidence of nanoparticlemediated changes in protein structure that could potentially initiate or exacerbate certain diseases. Much of this research is at very early stage, and probably does not apply to many nanomaterials in use or under development.
