#GUMBOS technology promises new drugs, electronic devicesmention a breakthrough involving gumbo technology in New orleans and people think of a new twist on The Local Dish the stew that's the quintessence of southern Louisiana cooking.
what may be an advance in developing GUMBOS-based materials with far-reaching medical electronic and other uses.
what the scientists call a Group of Uniform Materials Based on Organic Salts (GUMBOS) and the nanogumbos materials--particles so small that 100000 could fit across the width of a human hair.
We believe that these GUMBOS represent a truly different approach to micro -and nanotechnology said Professor Isiah Warner Ph d. of Louisiana State university (LSU) Baton rouge who led the scientific team that developed the first GUMBOS five years ago.
Unlike some products of the revolution in nanomaterials and nanotechnology nanogumbos can be designed for specific uses rather than simply adapted for a particular use after being synthesized in the lab. Warner pointed out for instance that scientists are working on various types of nanoparticles for use in nanomedicine especially to diagnose
With GUMBOS technology nanoparticles can have desired the property incorporated directly into the nanomaterial he explained.
However when we convert them to our GUMBOS it only kills cancer cells. That's basically how it works.
The organic salts used to make GUMBOS are not the familiar organic sea salt products sold for cooking and other uses.
In recognition of his work on GUMBOS and on the development of many innovative methods over the course of his career Warner will receive the ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry sponsored by the Battelle Memorial Institute on April 9.
He also will present an award address a tutorial on the making and potential uses of GUMBOS.
