The National Institute of Standards and Technology has published a new ruler, and even for an organization that routinely deals in superlatives, set some records. Designed to be best available commercially “measuring rule” to the nano world, the new measuring tool – a calibration standard X-ray diffraction – with uncertainties below a femtometer. That’s 0.000 […]
nanoparticles promising future cancer therapy
Abstract Recently, the use of gold nanoparticles as potential selective tumor radiosensitizer has been proposed as a major advance in radiotherapy. Experiments in living cells and in vivo have demonstrated the effectiveness of metal nanoparticles when combined with low energy X-ray radiation (below 1 MeV Linac conventional radiation). Other DNA studies have performed in order […]
