2008-05-20 Fingerprinting
nanoparticles to assess cytotoxicity |
|
A new study conducted by a joint
U.S. - Irish team has now made the first step toward the
development of both a fast and fairly comprehensive method of
screening of biological activity and cytotoxicity of
nanoparticles....using high content analysis (HCA). HCA is a
marriage between a computer and confocal microscopy, and thus,
it offers substantial advantages in the form of automated
screening and uniform processing of the results. One can quickly
obtain 'fingerprints' of the toxic effects of nanocolloids in
respect to numerous characteristics. The multiparametric nature
of these fingerprints will allow cytotoxicity analyses to be
conducted at much higher throughput and accuracy. [nanowerk]

2007-10-04 New plastic is strong
as steel, transparent |
|
By mimicking a brick-and-mortar
molecular structure found in seashells, University of Michigan
researchers created a composite plastic that's as strong as
steel but lighter and transparent. It's made of layers of clay
nanosheets and a water-soluble polymer that shares chemistry
with white glue...and could lead to lighter, stronger armor for
soldiers or police and their vehicles. It could also be used in
microelectromechanical devices, microfluidics, biomedical
sensors and valves and unmanned aircraft. Kotov and other U-M
faculty members are authors of a paper on this composite
material, "Ultrastrong and Stiff Layered Polymer Nanocomposites,"
published in the Oct. 5 edition of Science. [UMich]
