Penn-Led Collaboration Mimics Library of Bio-Membranes for Use In Nanomedicine, Drug Delivery
Fri, 21 May 2010 12:23:00 -0500
An international collaboration of chemists and engineers recently prepared a library of synthetic biomaterials that mimic cellular membranes. The materials show promise for use with targeted delivery of cancer drugs, gene therapy, proteins, imaging and diagnostic agents and cosmetics in the emerging field of nanomedicine.

Physicists Describe the Melting of Colloidal Crystal Films
Fri, 21 May 2010 12:19:00 -0500
Physicists from the University of Pennsylvania
and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have reported an elegant experimental study of the melting behaviors of thin crystalline films, uncovering a variety of interesting differences between thick films of greater than four layers and thinner or single-layer films. The findings, published in the current edition of Physical Review Letters, are relevant to technologies that require thin film adhesion.
