Real-Life Applications of Nanotechnology in Medicine

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have shown promising potential across various fields, from medicine to materials science. One significant development is the creation of "goldene," a single-atom-thick layer of gold with unique semiconductor properties. This innovation could lead to breakthroughs in electronics and other applications where traditional gold use is limited by its thickness and conductivity In the medical field, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a nanoparticle treatment derived from a plant virus that has shown effectiveness in fighting metastatic cancers in mice. This approach could pave the way for new cancer therapies that target and destroy cancer cells more efficiently (PhysOrg). Additionally, advances in nanoparticle sensors for detecting lung cancer biomarkers at low concentrations could enable early diagnosis and treatment through non-invasive breath tests (PhysOrg). Machine learning is also playing a crucial role in guiding carbon nanotechnology. Researchers at Tohoku University have utilized machine learning algorithms to optimize the properties of carbon-based nanomaterials, leading to enhanced performance in various applications, including energy storage and environmental sustainability. Other notable advancements include the development of a new material that dramatically increases the energy density of ferroelectric capacitors, potentially revolutionizing energy storage solutions (SciTechDaily), and the discovery of "neutronic molecules," which involve neutrons binding to quantum dots, offering new insights into quantum effects and material properties These innovations illustrate the rapid progress and diverse potential applications of nanotechnology, promising significant impacts on technology, healthcare, and environmental management. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Unlocking Future of Healthcare: A New Balance on Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology Open Access (NNOA) #MedwinPublishers #Healthcare #Nanomedicine #Nanotechnology #OpenAccess https://lnkd.in/g9ZVUTEM The combination of nanoscience with medicine, which we can say nanomedicine, introduces new aspects that would be able to change the world. Among the technologies, nanoscience is at the forefront of the technology and this is due to the collaboration between nanotechnology and medicine which always comes up with new solutions to problems. One such example is a joint effort between the Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology Open Access (NNOA) journal and an internationally peer-reviewed forum aimed at cutting-edge research in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.   The Summit of Interdisciplinary Research   Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology Open Access apart from being an advanced journal, it is a knowledge watchtower for interdisciplinary studies. While we come across the challenges that exist in modern healthcare, we find NNOA to be a mandatory thing for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals. This journal deals with the presentation of novel and significant theoretical and experimental results which serve as a link between nana-science and life sciences thus making the latter improve in medicine.   An In-Depth Look at Nanomedicine   Nanomedicine, the field of nano-medicine, is wide-ranging. Health issues are seen in significant number of aspects. Of these the interesting ones include the production of biopharmaceuticals and cancer medications, growth of drug delivery systems, etc. This can be demonstrated by the nanorobots, which can regenerate the cells, the nanoparticles, which can do the precision targeting of a disease, and some of the innovative studies in nanonephrology for renal diseases that are being treated with medications based on nanotechnology. NNOA, along with highlighting the new and upcoming developments in these areas, gives a full picture of the way the nanotechnology is changing the medical profession.   A Platform for Diverse Research Contributions   NNOA encourages a broad array of submissions and thereby tries to create a rich and diverse knowledge bank. Whether you're involving your original articles, reviews, perspectives, or case reports, this journal offers a prestigious platform for your research.

We invite you to apply to not only one but two events to advance bottlenecks to nanotechnology development: 1. Molecular Systems Engineering Platform Launch  One of the major bottlenecks holding back progress on nanotechnology is better software and simulation tools—until now. Join Eric Drexler, co-founder of Foresight Institute and nanotechnology pioneer, in unveiling a new engineering platform for molecular systems on October 4 at The Institute in SF. 2. Functional Nanomachine Design Workshop Another bottleneck to progress in nanotechnology is the lack of a roadmap to guide the field. We'll build this map on October 5–6 at 50 Years Capital in SF! The workshop, chaired by Jeremy Barton, a specialist in nanoscale instrumental analysis, will bring together nanotechnology scientists, technologists, and funders who are driving the field of functional nanomachines forward, including Chris Schafmeister (Temple University), Brenda Rubenstein (Brown University), HP Braam, MSEP, Petr Sulc (Arizona State University), Ales Flidr (Convergent Research), Andrew Tuberfield (University of Oxford) and many more. Your participation should speed your current research, explore novel funding sources, assist you in finding multi-disciplinary collaborators, and stimulate entirely new, fundable research projects among participants.
