Nanomachines that drill into cancer cells killing them in just 60 seconds developed by scientists
September 7th, 2017Nanomachines that drill into cancer cells killing them in just 60 seconds developed by scientists Motorized molecules that target diseased cells may deliver drugs to or kill the cells by drilling into the cell membranes. Scientists at Rice, Durham (U.K.) and North Carolina State universities have demonstrated them on cancer and other cells. James Tour, […]

2 sides to this energy story
August 10th, 20172 sides to this energy story Rice chemists have produced a catalyst based on laser-induced graphene that splits water into hydrogen on one side and oxygen on the other side. They said the inexpensive material may be a practical component in generating the hydrogen for use in future fuel cells. James Tour, the T.T. and […]
