Researchers Solve Mystery Behind Bacterial Nanowire

Deep underground or in the ocean, where oxygen is not present, Geobacter bacteria “breathe” by projecting miniature protein filaments known as “nanowires” into the soil, to dispose of surplus electrons ensuing from the conversion of nutrients to energy.

Study Shows Cancer Cells Could be Treated with Magnetic Nanoparticles

Regrettably, cancer is more than a single disease, and even now, certain types of this medical disorder, like liver, brain, or pancreas tumors, cannot be easily treated with surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, resulting in low survival rates for patients.
