(PhysOrg.com) — Scientists are reporting an advance toward the next big treatment revolution in dentistry – the era in which root canal therapy brings diseased teeth back to life, rather than leaving a `non-vital` or dead tooth in the mouth. In a report in the monthly journal ACS Nano: `Nanostructured Assemblies for Dental Application,` they describe a first-of-its-kind, nano-sized dental film …

The journal, Nano Letters, recently published an article highlighting the fascinating nanogenerators developed by Dr. Yong Shi, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stevens Institute of Technology. The paper was entitled, “1.6 V Nanogenerator for Mechanical Energy Harvesting Using PZT Nanofibers.”

Gold nanoparticles are also known as ‘colloidal gold’ or sometimes ‘nano-gold.’ New and innovative nano-gold applications appear to have the potential to overcome some of…

Individuals with a high resting heart rate and a low beat-to-beat heart rate variability have an increased risk of developing kidney disease, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society Nephrology (JASN). The findings suggest that the behavior of the autonomic nervous system may be a sentinel marker for late development of certain cases of kidney …

Having discovered a dramatic increase of an easy-to-detect enzyme in the red blood cells of people with diabetes and prediabetes, Johns Hopkins scientists say the discovery could lead to a simple, routine test for detecting the subtle onset of the disease, before symptoms or complications occur and in time to reverse its course.

Researchers have discovered a monoclonal antibody that is effective against “Avian” H5N1, seasonal H1N1 and the 2009 “Swine” H1N1 influenza. Scientists at Sea Lane Biotechnologies, LLC, in collaboration with Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, St. Jude Research Hospital and the Scripps Research Institute, have shown that this antibody potently prevents and treats the Swine H1N1 influenza in mouse …

Star Trek fans will remember “tractor beams,” lasers that allowed the Starship Enterprise to trap and move objects. Tel Aviv University is now turning this science fiction into science fact – on a nano scale. A new tool developed by Tel Aviv University, Holographic Optical Tweezers (HOTs) use holographic technology to manipulate up to 300 nanoparticles at a time, such as beads of glass or …
