Jump-Starting the Orbital Economy (preview)

Two years ago deceased Star Trek actor James “Scotty” Doohan was granted one last adventure, courtesy of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation. SpaceX, a privately funded company based in Hawthorne, Calif., had been formed in 2002 with the mission of going where no start-up had gone before: Earth orbit. In August 2008 SpaceX loaded [...]

Advances in Polymeric Micelles for Drug Delivery and Tumor Targeting – Accepted Manuscript

Abstract: Plethora of the formulation techniques were reported in literature for targeting the drug to specific site. Polymeric micelle can be targeted to tumor site by passive as well as active mechanism. Some inherent properties of polymeric micelle such as size in nanorange, stability in plasma, longevity in vivo and pathological characteristics of tumor make [...]

Contaminated Site Remediation: Are Nanomaterials the Answer?

A new review article appearing in Environmental Health Perspectives focuses on the use of nanomaterials for environmental cleanup. The authors conclude that the technology could be an effective and economically viable alternative for some current site cleanup practices, but potential risks remain poorly understood.
