#Optimal particle size for anticancer nanomedicines discovered Nanomedicines consisting of nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery to specific tissues
To develop next generation nanomedicines with superior anticancer attributes we must understand the correlation between their physicochemical properties--specifically particle size

Naturally found in a spherical shape NTU Singapore developed a simple method to turn titanium dioxide particles into tiny nanotubes that are a thousand times thinner than the diameter of a human hair.
The experiments were conducted at room temperature with particles of pure silver less than 10 nanometers across--less than one-thousandth of the width of a human hair.

Technically the particles'deformation is pseudoelastic meaning that the material returns to its original shape after the stresses are removed--like a squeezed rubber ball--as opposed to plasticity as in a deformable lump of clay that retains a new shape.
For example in circuits where electrical contacts need to withstand rotational reconfiguration particles designed to maximize this effect might prove useful using noble metals
The findings could also help explain a number of anomalous results seen in other research on small particles Li says.

#Discovery of new subatomic particle, type of meson, to transform understanding of fundamental force of nature The discovery of a new particle will transform our understanding of the fundamental force of nature that binds the nuclei of atoms researchers argue.
Led by scientists from the University of Warwick the discovery of the new particle will help provide greater understanding of the strong interaction the fundamental force of nature found within the protons of an atom's nucleus. Named Ds3*(2860) the particle
a new type of meson 1 was discovered by analysing data collected with the LHCB detector at CERN's Large hadron collider (LHC) 2. The new particle is bound together in a similar way to protons.
Due to this similarity the Warwick researchers argue that scientists will now be able to study the particle to further understand strong interactions.
The new particle is ideal for this purpose because it is known the first that both contains a charm quark
but particles produced in accelerators such as the LHC can contain the unstable heavier quarks. In addition some of these particles have higher spin values than the naturally occurring stable particles.
Because the Ds3*(2860) particle contains a heavy charm quark it is easier for theorists to calculate its properties.
And because it has spin 3 there can be no ambiguity about what the particle is adds Professor Gershon.
Therefore it provides a benchmark for future theoretical calculations. Improvements in these calculations will transform our understanding of how nuclei are bound together.
Spin is one of the labels used by physicists to distinguish between particles. It is a concept that arises in quantum mechanics that can be thought of as being similar to angular momentum:
Notes 1 The Ds3*(2860) particle is a meson that contains a charm antiquark and a strange quark.
while the number 2860 in parentheses is the mass of the particle in the units of Mev/c2 that are favoured by particle physicists.
The value of 2860 Mev/c2 corresponds to approximately 3 times the mass of the proton. 2 The particle was discovered in the decay chain Bs0#D0k-p+where the Bs0 D0 K
The Ds3*(2860) particle is observed as a peak in the mass of combinations of the D0 and K-mesons.
The distributions of the angles between the D0 K-and p+particles allow the spin of the Ds3*(2860) meson to be determined unambiguously. 3 Quarks are bound by the strong interaction into one of two types of particles:
This reveals the nature and concentration of particles suspended in the plasma from which it is possible to derive information on the composition of the steel sample.
"What we have shown in the Science study is that we now have the means to obtain real-time images of processes happening on the surface of intact HIV particles,
Dr. Blanchard adapted an imaging technique that uses fluorescence to measure distance on molecular scale--single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smfret) imaging--to study viral particles.
"There are 10-20 such envelope trimers on the surface of each HIV particle, and they mutate rapidly,

But as the building blocks become bigger, it takes longer for Brownian motion to jiggle the blocks into the appropriate locations.

with particles placed in accurate locations on the scaffold as per the specificity of DNA coding.
These designs contained two varied arrangements of the same group of particles with each configuration having different optical properties.
Thus the specifically DNA-encoded particles can find their correspondingly designed place on the octahedron vertices,
and complementary strands were utilized on a range of particles. This showed that both the arrangement
and assembly of the particles can be controlled in an accurate manner. In a similar experiment, two different arrangements were made from the same three pairs of particles having different sizes,
which resulted in products having varied optical characteristics. The team also used DNA tethers on specified vertices to join octahedrons end to end
However, a major challenge was to validate the arrangement and structure of particles. This is because the DNA molecules and nanoparticles,
While some microscopy methods can show the particles alone others would change the 3d structures.

Subsequent pulmonary problems in the mice were linked mainly to coarser-grained smoke particles and cardiac problems to finer-grained particles.
