#Sugar trail may lead to early cancer detection NEW DELHI: In a breakthrough that could lead to a new protocol for cancer detection and treatment,
scientists have identified a glucose delivery mechanism which helps cancer cells to survive and grow. The discovery can help in early detection of not only pancreatic and prostrate cancer but many others like cancer of the breast and colon.
Their version of the device, the Nanofrazor, has been able to outperform conventional electron-beam lithography equipment used in the semiconductor manufacturing process and costs just $500

physicists have shown now that the production of low energy electrons by radio-sensitizers made of carbon nanostructures hinges on a key physical mechanism referred to as plasmons-collective excitations of so-called valence electrons;
Previous studies have revealed that gold and platinum nanoparticles produce a large number of electrons via the plasmon excitation mechanism.
this phenomenon yields electrons with higher energy than pure metals, thus inducing greater biological damage. In this study, the authors analysed the spectra of secondary electrons emitted from a carbon nanoparticle composed of fullerite,
a crystalline form of C60 fullerene, irradiated by an ion beam consisting of fast protons. They quantified the electron yield in a broad kinetic energy range,
using several different theoretical and numerical approaches. They found that a medium with an embedded carbon nanoparticle results in a number of low energy electrons several times higher than that emitted by pure water.
This may lead to the development of novel types of sensitizers composed of metallic and carbon-based parts.
high conductivity for transporting electrons and a suitable pore architecture that allows for the rapid movement of ions from the electrolyte solution to the carbon surface."
and collecting the electrons that are emitted subsequently from the very top layer of the material.
the electrons in the material are pushed towards the middle of the spiral, and a large amount of blue light is produced.
This is because the electrons are pushed to the outside of the spiral, which creates a destructive interference
The gold nano-spirals in this study were created using scanning electron-beam lithography-platinum or silver would also be suitable materials,
"At the highest temperatures, the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
Then Alex Pronschinske, Ph d.,first author on the paper and a postdoctoral researcher in Sykeslab, suggested that they measure the electrons emitted by the sample without prodding from X-rays in the photoelectron spectrometer.
He was interested particularly in the emission of low energy electrons, which have been shown to be very effective in radiation oncology
Because these electrons can travel only 1 to 2 nanometers human hair is about 60,000 nanometers widehey do not affect healthy tissue and organs nearby.
The team calculated the number of low energy electrons they expected would be emitted by the sample
They found that the gold-bonded iodine-125 emitted six times as many low energy electrons as plain iodine-125.
you get this big flux of low energy electrons coming out. he finding suggests a new avenue for radiation oncology:
and emit low energy electrons, destroying the tumor DNA. The gold-based nanoparticles would be flushed out of the body,
Instead of emitting large amounts of low energy electrons as the gold-bound iodine does, the titanium capsules inhibit radiation,
Researchers in Sykes'lab are now assessing precisely how the low energy electrons travel through biological fluids.

The electrons necessary for this reaction travel through the external circuit, generating an electric current. A supercapacitor is similar to a battery in that it can generate and store electric current,
#Electron Cryo-Microscopy Offers Extraordinary Details of Proteasome Complex Scientists have pioneered the use of a high-powered imaging technique to picture in exquisite detail one of the central proteins
Researchers used a technique called electron cryo-microscopy, or'CRYO EM'-imaging samples frozen to-180oc-to show the proteasome complex in such extraordinary detail that they could view a prototype drug bound to its active sites.
Electron cryo-microscopy is emerging as a complementary approach in cancer drug design to X-ray crystallography
They bombarded their samples with electrons and generated images using complex image-processing software. Senior study author Dr Edward Morris, Team Leader in Structural Electron microscopy at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said:"

The pulse generates an electric field as well as injecting electrons into the sample. By using a new theoretical approach developed by Dr. Kajita,
and it 200 times stronger than steel because of the way the atoms bond to form a hexagonal pattern (think of chicken wire) with a cloud of free electrons hovering above and below it,
A direct electron detector is the second component which has a much higher sensitivity than conventional camera film.
#Simpler Thermodynamic Approach Could Help Improve the Performance of Graphene-Based Nanoelectronic Devices The researchers found that the energy of ultrafast electrical currents passing through graphene is converted very efficiently into electron heat,
making graphene electrons behave just like a hot gas. he heat is distributed evenly over all electrons.
and electrons that propagate along a surface of a metal strip. At the end of the strip they are converted back to light once again.
The electrons in the silicon layer are isolated so from the silicon lattice they become highly sensitive to incoming radiation.
In 1964, two physicists-Murray Gell Mann and George Zweig-independently proposed the existence of the subatomic particles known as quarks.
but it was Gell-Mann's name"quark"that stuck. This model also allowed for other quark states,
such as the pentaquark. This purely theoretical particle was composed of four quarks and an antiquark (the antimatter equivalent of an ordinary quark.
New states During the mid-2000s, several teams claimed to have detected pentaquarks, but their discoveries were undermined subsequently by other experiments."
"The pentaquark is not just any new particleit represents a way to aggregate quarks, namely the fundamental constituents of ordinary protons and neutrons,
"Photonic"and"spintronic"computing is the principle of transferring information by light or electron spin.
which influences the ordering of electrons and nuclei in atoms and molecules. The discovered property is observed usually in materials containing heavy elements,
This chirality means that silicon-based detectors are able to detect the spin of electrons and light,
Nand works by moving electrons back and forth to an isolated part of the transistors known as their"floating gates"to represent the ones and zeros of binary code.
The problem was that electron microscopes work by shooting electrons at the speed of light through a biological sample suspended in a vacuum;
when hit by the powerful stream of electrons. So scientists turned to using very low electron doses analogous to taking a photo in very low light
which minimizes the damage but leaves the image grainy. To reduce this blur, the team developed a new camera that records a movie of the wiggling sample under the microscope.
Another challenge was that earlier digital cameras used in CRYO EM detected light not electrons. So when the electron passed through the sample the signal had to be translated into light signals,
and resolution was lost in the process. his combination of the bad detector, blurring from the motion and radiation damage,
where the sample was being destroyed by the electrons, made it all a very difficult process,
To circumvent the problem of translating electrons into light, Cheng and Agard brought together a team
and developed a camera that detects electrons directly. The researchers collaborated with the electron microscopy company Gatan
#New subatomic particle, the pentaquark, discovered Data from the Large hadron collider (LHC) outside Geneva appears to have proved the existence of particles made of five quarks, solving a 50-year-old puzzle about the building blocks of matter,
Quarks are the tiny ingredients of subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons, which are made of three quarks.
The less common and more unstable mesons, particles found in cosmic rays, have four. A five-quark version,
or"pentaquark",has been sought, but never found, ever since Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig theorised the existence of such subatomic particles in 1964.
said a telltale"bump"seen in a graph of billions of particle collisions could only be explained by a five-quark particle."
"What we want to do now is to look for other five-quark particles and try and understand more about their nature,
In this process, electrons are released as a waste product. By providing an electrode for the microorganisms to donate their electrons to
the electrons can be harvested as electricity. Research has shown that plant-growth isn compromised by harvesting electricity,
so plants keep on growing while electricity is produced concurrently. Just imagine, a house with a roof full of plant/tree life powering your home.

whereas LHCB conducted the search with the lights on. This illustration shows an alternative layout for the pentaquark,
showing a meson particle-one quark and one antiquark-and a baryon, made up of three quarks weakly bonded together Using the LHC allowed experts to look at data from four different perspectives, giving them a multidimensional view of the transformation of subatomic particles.
All these perspectives pointed to the same conclusion the presence of pentaquarks. Wilkinson told The Guardian:'
or in public access mode where anyone with the hardware can soak up some electrons (controlled via an app).
Electron movement is controlled via quantum wells (a quantum well is a layer of material that constricts the movements of electrons to particular dimensions to ensure energy arrives where it meant to go).
and have reached efficiencies that are already comparable to organic LEDS in terms of quantum efficiency (photons emitted per electron injected).
and then be able to control, the flow of electrons through tiny snippets of the material.
and therefore the ease with which electrons can hop and slide from one layer to the next.
as the plotted electron density. In the present case, the researchers used fields up to 45 Tesla that were available at the National High Magnetic field Laboratory in Tallahassee.
As a graphical representation of the fractal structure of the energy spectrum for electrons in a magnetic field,
The field forced electrons at the edge of the material to move in opposite directions, and in separate lanes, according their spin.
In contrast to the unidirectional current flow of electrons in a regular metal, a material that behaves as a opological insulatorwould be useful in several spintronic applications.
While the famous Schrödinger equation (which gives the wave functions mentioned above) describes the behavior of electrons in most materials,
electron behavior in graphene is ltrarelativisticand therefore is described better using the lesser-known Dirac equation.
where electron velocity is subrelativistic, electrons in graphene composites configured with just the right alignment can flow at significantly greater speeds,
and need to be described with a different formalism. Furthermore, when many layers of graphene are stacked properly together (with associated greater strength),
by applying stronger or weaker currents to the light within the phase shifter, the number of electrons within each light path changeshich, in turn,
seeing that the use of organic film as the electron transport in past LED production resulted in a decreased photoluminescence and an inaccurate color reproduction.
just as in silicon, the electrons orbiting within titanium-trisulfide can be pushed easily up into the conduction band,
said, t is essentially as little as you can go with these single-electron gadgets. The revelation will enhance the continuous endeavors of researchers over the world to utilize semiconductor materials to construct quantum computing frameworks. consider this to be a truly imperative result for our long haul objective,
when single electrons hop from a higher to a lower energy level over the dual dot.
These dual quantum dots are zero-dimensional as far as the electrons are concerned they are caught in each of the three spatial dimensions
A single electron caught in a semiconductor nanostructure can structure the most fundamental of building blocks for a quantum computer.
researchers need to create a versatile architecture that permits full control over individual electrons in computational arrays p
or the interaction between light and free electrons on a metal's surface. When exposed to light,
the free electrons get excited and begin to oscillate, generating heat. Once the light is off, the oscillations and the heating stop.
The light was able to heat electrons at the interface of the gold films and DNA solution ramping temperatures up staggeringly fast at approximately 13°C per second.
When a photon hits a silicon atom inside a solar cell, the excess energy frees up an electron that is later used to generate electricity.
Occasionally, though, the electron simply recombines with a silicon atom, effectively wasting the energy provided by the photon.
and the needles on the surface of dark silicon raise surface area so much that about half of the freed electrons are lost"in this way.
These two changes meant that only four percent of the freed up electrons recombined, as opposed to the previous 50 percent.
due to its inherent ability to maintain excitation levels that allow the freer flow of electrons.
That is, just as graphene is able to rapidly emit electrons when excited by lasers as the electrons remain at an elevated state,
it also provides a similar capability for efficient photon release in an electrically-heated situation."
"At the highest temperatures, the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
and then that causes electrons to flow in the"wrong"direction thereby increasing electric resistance and allowing a very precise read of the data that's magnetically stored in a given location."
"The faster the electrons in the material move, the greater the Lorentz force and thus the effect of a magnetic field,"explains study lead author Binghai Yan.
The electrons in this material, niobium phosphide, travel very quickly. Niobium phosphide contains superfast charge carriers,
or relativistic electrons, that move at 300 km/s (186 mi/s), which is one-thousandth the speed of light.
Some of the light is absorbed by electrons on the film's surface which causes them to jostle.
as the electrons would quickly"disappear"into a lower energy state. This meant that these cells were not a viable solution for a clean energy grid,
Now, researchers Fuqiang Liu and colleagues have created a PEC cell that includes a specially designed photoelectrode (the component that converts incoming photons into electrons.
Unlike previous designs, their hybrid tungsten trioxide/titanium dioxide (WO3/Tio2) photoelectrode can store electrons effectively for long periods of time,
and electrons in the cell,"says lead author of the paper Dong Liu.""Release of the stored electrons under dark conditions continues solar energy storage,
thus allowing for continuous storage around the clock.""The team is now working on building a larger prototype,
Sige is suited better for smaller transistors because of the fact that it has higher electron mobility than pure silicon.
electron mobility is increased. These transistors are each only 7 nanometers wide that's about 1/10, 000th the width of a human hair and three times the width of a single strand of DNA.
whose light production depends on the perovskite matrix's ability to guide electrons into the quantum dots, which then super-efficiently convert electricity to light.
#New molecular transistor can control single electrons Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United states have managed to create a tiny,
The transistor reportedly operates so precisely that it can control the flow of single electrons,
with electrons spontaneously jumping from one end of the switch to the other whether the switch is closed open
as molecular transistors are often so small that their on/off state depends on the location of a single electron.
single electrons can tunnel between the surface of the crystal and the tip of the microscope.
regulating the electron's flow and leading to a functioning and reliable molecular transistor. One unusual fact observed was that the molecule orients itself in a different direction depending on its charge state and, in turn,
the orientation of the molecule has a strong effect on how the electron flows across the molecule.
If exploited, this knowledge could help us build molecular nanostructures with a very precise control over single electrons, leading to new types of high-performance semiconductors and nanomaterials r
the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
the resulting increase in length and decrease in cross-sectional area restricts the flow of electrons through the material.

Electrons flow around the circuit, thus the cell effectively works as a battery. But, unlike a traditional battery, Ceres fuel cells last years. e are targeting 10 years,
Electrons moving through the material knock against electrons in the filament's atoms, giving them energy.
Those electrons return to their former energy levels and emit photons (light) in the process.
"The temperature of hot electrons at the center of the graphene is about 3, 000 K 4, 940 F,
Whereas conventional microelectronics shuffle electrons around wires, in recent years, scientists have begun developing so-called microfluidic devices that shuffle liquids around pipes.

the team concluded that these intermediate particles were made pentaquarks up of two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark and one anti-charm quark.
Quarks come in six flavors: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. The researchers have submitted now their findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.

it has very little effect on the physics of the electron. But when they're aligned,
the more they are aligned, the larger the moire and the stronger the effect on the electrons,
electrons get slowed down, "he explains. It turns out that if two layers of graphene are stacked in alignment,
electrons traveling within a layer are slowed down in the same way. But with graphene, if the layers stacked on top of each other are misaligned,
then the electron in one layer does not get affected by the other layers and zips along quickly."

"Even though they are right on top of each other, atoms apart, if you twist them, then the electrons cannot actually go from one layer to the other just by themselves.
They need help from other elements in the system. So you can put them right on top of each other,
