NanoTube Video Contest - "How will Nano Change the World?"

In our last video contest "What is Nano?", you showed us that nano is a way of making things smaller, lighter and more efficient, making it possible to build better machines, solar cells, materials and radios. But another question remains: how exactly is "nano" going to impact both us and the world? We want you to think big about nano and show us how nano will address the challenges we face today."


  • What can nano do for global security?
  • What can nano do for the environment?
  • What can nano do for sustainable energy?
  • What can nano do for fighting disease?
  • What can nano do for the products you use?
  • What can nano do for YOU?

ACS Nanotation is interested to hear what you think, and to find out, we are sponsoring a video contest. Submit your videos to NanoTube and you could win up to $500 USD in cash!


The contest will open July 6, 2009 for video submissions. See the contest rules and guidelines or contact acsnano@acs.org with any questions

Carbon Nanotube Pumping for Drug Delivery
One exciting potential application of nanotechnology is to revolutionize the ways of drug delivery. A tiny nanostructure, such as a carbon nanotube (CNT) is small enough to cross the cell membrane and enter the nuclei of the cell, while the cell does not recognize the nanotube as an unfriendly intruder. Therefore, a CNT can be used effectively as a vehicle to deliver drugs to the targeted sick cell (such as a cancer cell) with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. The uptake of drug molecules from a solution into a CNT can be achieved automatically by Van der Waals attraction between the nanotube and drug molecules. But a mechanism for a CNT to release the drug is lacking. This video shows a new nanopumping process for a CNT to release a C-20 molecule, as a prototype device for drug delivery. An oscillating tip actuator generates a sustained mechanical wave in the CNT, which acts like a nanopump to drive and eject the 'drug' molecule out of the tube.
