Cellular Construction Methods Emulated At Nano-scaleNanostructured systems considered useful for biosensors, self-repairing materials, optoelectronic components, or nanocapsulesNot only is our body made of individual organs, our cells themselves are made of tiny organelles, a variety of separate compartments that fulfill different tasks. Such functional, nanostructured systems would also be useful for technical applications, such as biosensors, self-repairing materials, optoelectronic components, or nanocapsules. However, it has not been possible to recreate structures with sufficient complexity in the lab. Posted: 2008-03-06 For more information: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/03/080305105232.htm |
