#Bendy nanosensors detect infrared light University of Pennsylvania rightoriginal Studyposted by Evan Lerner-Pennsylvania on May 22 2013u.
PENN (US)# Engineers have used a pattern of nanoantennas to develop a new way of turning infrared light into mechanical action
The new device is an improvement in this regard due to the inclusion of#slot#nanoantennas cavities that are etched into the gold layer at intervals that correspond to wavelengths of mid-infrared light.#
#The inclusion of nanoantennas provides the device with an additional advantage: the ability to tailor
and instructions for nanobots to form new neurons and position them next to existing brain cells to be replaced.
nanobots would quickly repair our brain, if damaged. Information is transmitted then to a processing center where a new body is cloned,
though, could be the nanorobot, a tiny microscopic-size machine that can whiz through veins replacing aging and damaged cells with new youthful ones.
NA nanorobots could potentially carry out complex programs that could one day be used to diagnose or treat diseases with unprecedented sophistication,
Levner and his colleagues at Bar Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, Israel, made the nanobots by exploiting the binding properties of DNA.
A bug life The team has injected now various kinds of nanobots into cockroaches. Because the nanobots are labelled with fluorescent markers
the researchers can follow them and analyse how different robot combinations affect where substances are delivered.
and control of the nanobots is equivalent to a computer system. his is the first time that biological therapy has been able to match how a computer processor works,
Commodore cockroach The number of nanobots in the study more than in previous experiments makes it particularly promising,
Miriam Wilsonwith molecules for moving parts, this nanorobot links together amino acids (colored balls) by attaching them to a moving ring (blue.
In its present incarnation, the nanomachine requires the axle to be preloaded with amino acids in the correct sequence.
#Stealth nanoparticles sneak past immune system s defences Small man-made peptides can help to sneak drug-bearing nanobeads past the ever-vigilant immune system,
They then stuck the peptide to commercially available polystyrene nanobeads. The beads also carried a dye
fluorescent nanobeads accumulated in the tumours. Nanoparticles tend to accumulate in tumours because of the tumour s haphazard structure and leaky blood vessels.
Buoyed by the evidence that the peptide-carrying nanobeads were circulating in the blood Discher and his team also tagged their nanobeads with the anticancer drug paclitaxel.
They saw that their peptide-carrying system shrank tumours just as well as the standard paclitaxel carrier, Cremophor,
Discher hopes that the system can be improved with custom-made nanobeads, rather than being limited to the off-the-shelf ones he and his team used."
Vladan Vuletic, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Physics at MIT, says the ability to tune friction would be helpful in developing nanomachines tiny robots built from components the size of single molecules.
because it one of the limiting factors for nanomachines, but there has been relatively little progress in actually controlling friction at any scale,

As in the case of their plastic micro-scallop the researchers also envision medical applications for their nanosubmarine.
For the first time we have a nanorobot that's small enough to swim through this tight mesh.
Of course to achieve this a way would have to be found to inject the nanosubmarines into cells.
"In addition, either the gold nanoplasmonic optical antenna or the graphene can be functionalized to be responsive to different base-pair combinations,

#Researchers demonstrate novel tunable nanoantennas A research team from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has developed a novel,
tunable nanoantenna that paves the way for new kinds of plasmonic-based optomechanical systems, whereby plasmonic field enhancement can actuate mechanical motion.
"The researchers developed a novel, metal, pillar-bowtie nanoantenna (p-BNA) array template on 500-nanometer tall glass pillars (or posts.
"The dramatic deformation of the nanoantennas we observe is facilitated by strong in-gap plasmonic modes excited by the passing electrons,
It enables tuning of the optical (plasmonic) response of the nanoantennas, down to the level of a single nanoantenna (approximately 250 nanometers across;
"Our fabrication process shows for the first time an innovative way of fabricating plasmonic nanoantenna structures under the SEM,
"This process also reduces the gap of the nanoantennas down to 5 nm under SEM with a controlled reduction rate.
Thanks to the EU-funded research project called NANOANTENNA completed in March 2013, physicists joined forces with chemists,
nanotechnologists and biomedical researchers with the aim of developing a so-called plasmonic nanobiosensor for the detection of proteins.
It consisted of nanoantennas, tiny gold rods about 100 to 200 nanometres long and 60 to 80 nm wide.
By shining light onto such a nanoantenna, the electrons inside start moving back and forth, amplifying the light radiation in hot spots regions of the antenna,
The nanoantennas developed in this project only enhance the emitted Raman signal if the biomolecules are close to the hot spots Therefore,
To do so, the researchers attached bioreceptors, fragments of DNA engineered to recognise specific proteins, to the nanoantennas.
When the nanoantennas studded with the bioreceptors are incubated in a solution that contains the biomarkers to be detected,
the latter become attached to the nanoantennas. When, subsequently, these nanoantennas are illuminated with light, they show the Raman fingerprints of both the bioreceptor and the biomarker,
as Gucciardi points out. One expert comments that health-care programmes are quickly moving to prevention

resulting in micrometer-per-second nanoparticle transport by harnessing a single plasmonic nanoantenna, which until now has been thought to be said impossible
Previous research had shown that convection using a single plasmonic nanoantenna was too weak to induce such a strong convection, below 10 nanometers per second,
increasing the velocity of particle transport by 100 times by applying an alternating current electric field in conjunction with heating the plasmonic nanoantenna using a laser to induce a force far stronger than otherwise possible."

and injected them with the nanostars. The particles spread thorough the bloodstreams of the mice and built up in the cancerous cells.
Because the nanostars were bright enough to show the precancerous cells this is evidence that they also have larger pores in their blood vessels.
The nanostars could be important in treating people with cancers in which the dangerous cells are sometimes hard to see such as liposarcoma a cancer that arises in fat cells.
The nanostars are nonspecific they don't need to be custom-made for each type of cancer. Earlier experiments with nanoparticles often required them to be built to order coated with proteins that would link to specific types of cancer cells.
