Ultracapacitor Technology Promises more Viable Electric Car
Not unlike the cell phone and laptop, the electric car has long been haunted by one question in particular: exactly how long until it's time to plug it in again? And the other big factor: cost. But one startup thinks it has the answer.
Chemical Engineers Design Nanoparticles to Target Cancer Tumors
Chemical engineers at MIT have designed a nanoparticle that could one day be used to target cancerous tumors, reports MIT News. The particle, which could be used to deliver drugs to tumors, takes advantage of the fact that tumors generally exhibit higher acidity that healthy tissue. Like other drug-delivering nanoparticles, the researchers' creation is covered in a polymer that keeps it from degrading in the bloodstream. These particles, however, drop their protective polymer cloak once exposed to the higher acidity of a tumor. Underneath the protective coating is another layer that can penetrate the tumor. The particles are described in detail in the journal ACS Nano.

Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Fought with Nanoparticles
IBM researchers are developing nanoparticles that kill bacteria by poking holes in them. The hope is that bacteria will be less successful at developing a resistance to these types of drug, leaving doctors with a powerful tool in the fight against antibiotic-resistant microbes.
