Nanoscale Structuring of Surfaces with Biomolecular Motors
Sophisticated biomolecular motors have evolved in nature, where motor proteins actively control the delivery and assembly of materials within cells. In contrast, the development of synthetic nanomotors is in its infancy. Such nanomotors are currently explored for an increasing number of applications in hybrid bionanodevices. Along these lines, gliding motility assays, where reconstituted microtubule filaments are propelled over a substrate by surface-attached motor proteins, have been used to transport micro- and nanosized objects, such as small beads, quantum dots or DNA molecules. However, one prerequisite for controllable nanotransport is the reliable guiding of filament movement along predefined paths, a challenging task that has recent...

White Paper Examines Testing For Nano-technology Healthcare
A new white paper examines Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) as a means for testing contaminant levels for healthcare solutions based on nano-technology. The white paper, posted on ElementalAnalysis.com (http://www.elementalanalysis.com/), discusses how NAA tests exhibit accuracies up to parts per quadrillion.

The Hitchhikers Guide to Nanotechnology -- Nanotechnology Discussion Scotland
Nanotechnology it's uses and challenges for business. As a topic, nanotechnology is complex, controversial and cool all at the same time and this Business Forum session aims to put it all into perspective -- not by looking at future 'imagine this' or 'what if' scenarios, but at how and why emerging technologies are being put to use in all kinds of really useful products today.
