When a patient is receiving medication, it can be difficult to determine how much of the drug is actually making its way into their bloodstream. A new subdermal “tattoo” could help, thanks to its color-changing gold nanoparticles.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Under-skin sensor uses bits of gold to show bloodstream drug levels
While there already are glasses that help compensate for red-green color blindness, the lenses often can’t be shaped to users’ prescriptions. That’s why scientists are now developing a new type of corrective contact lens – and it was inspired by old go… Continue reading Color blindness-correcting contacts inspired by antique glass
Researchers at Brown University have developed a new way to make super-hard metals. The team made nanoparticle “building blocks” that could be fused together under moderate pressure, thanks to a chemical treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, S… Continue reading “Super-hard” metals forged in new nanoparticle manufacturing process
Microsoft has found their brains and will not double the price of Xbox Live Gold during a pandemic.
The post Microsoft Backtracks, Xbox Live Gold Pricing Won’t Change appeared first on Thurrott.com.

Of the many weapons science has come to offer in the fight against cancer, ones that are showing plenty of potential are gold nanoparticles. We have seen how these could be grown inside tumors to tackle the problem from the inside, deliver drugs that d… Continue reading Ring-shaped compounds better equip gold nanoparticles to fight cancer
Tiny nanoscale materials offer unique properties, and one way scientists are looking to leverage these is by taking aim at cancer cells of different kinds. A research team in the UK have demonstrated how an adaptation of this technology can be used to … Continue reading Bullet-like nanoparticles heat and destroy cancer cells from the inside
Gold isn’t just a pretty face – it’s shown promise in fighting cancer in many studies. Now researchers have found a way to grow gold nanoparticles directly inside cancer cells within 30 minutes, which can help with imaging and even be heated up to kill… Continue reading Growing gold nanoparticles inside tumors can help kill cancer
Not all maple syrups are created equal. There are actually over 60 taste categories that syrups fall into, as determined by human taste-testers. Soon, though, a solution containing gold nanoparticles could save those people some work.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Gold nanoparticles used to taste-grade maple syrup
The colorful glaze on that ceramic mug of yours may look nice, but there’s a chance that it could contain toxic substances. US scientists have thus created a safer type of glaze, that incorporates tiny particles of silver and gold.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Silver and gold used to make safer ceramic glaze
Join us on Wednesday, March 11 at noon Pacific for the PCB Finishes Hack Chat with Mark Hughes and Elijah Gracia!
There’s no way to overestimate the degree to which the invention of the printed circuit board revolutionized electronics. What was once the work of craftspeople weaving circuits together with …read more
