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?

Congratulations to the winners of the 2nd ACS Nanotation NanoTube Video Contest!

First place was awarded to Natalie Herring et al. from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte for their video "NanoGirls", which detailed how nano solar cells will generate clean energy.

The runner-up was Wilfredo Yave from GKSS-Forschungszentrum who submitted "Nano Story", which described how nanoscience will solve the problem of global warming.

The winners were determined by voting from the general public, and were awarded $500 and $300, respectively for their entries.

Ultrasensitive and Highly Selective Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers Using TPRS Properties of Au-NPs
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive mental disorder disease, which affects 26.6 million people worldwide and estimated increments can be 100 millions by 2050. Since there is no cure at present, early diagnosis of AD is crucial for the current drug treatments. Here we demonstrate for the first time that monoclonal anti-tau antibody-coated gold nanoparticle based two-photon scattering assay can be used for the detection of Alzheimer’s tau protein in the 1 pg/mL level which is about 2 orders of magnitude lower than cutoff values (195 pg/mL) for tau protein in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). Our data demonstrated that our TPRS assay is highly sensitive to tau protein and it can distinguish from BSA, which is one of the most abundant protein components in CSF. Our results demonstrate the potential for a broad application of this type of nanobionanotechnology in practical biomedical applications.

Gold Nanorod Based Selective Identification of Escherichia coli Bacteria
We report for the first time that two-photon Rayleigh scattering (TPRS) properties of gold nanorods can be used for rapid, highly sensitive and selective detection of E. coli bacteria from aqueous solution, without any amplification or enrichment at the 50 colony forming units (cfu)/mL level with excellent discrimination against other bacteria. TPRS intensity increases 40x when anti-E. coli antibody-conjugated nanorods were mixed with various concentrations of E. coli O157:H7 bacterium. These bionanotechnology assays could be adapted to specific, bioterrorism-related antibodies.

Nanofiber Scaffolds with Gradations in Mineral Content for Mimicking the Tendon-to-Bone Insertion Site
We have demonstrated a simple and versatile method for generating a continuously graded, bone-like calcium phosphate coating on a nanowoven mat of electrospun nanofibers. A linear gradient in calcium phosphate content could be achieved across the surface of the nanofiber mat. The gradient had functional consequences with regard to stiffness and biological activity. Specifically, the gradient in mineral content resulted in a gradient in the stiffness of the scaffold and further influenced the activity of mouse preosteoblast MC3T3 cells. This new class of nanofiberbased scaffolds can potentially be employed for repairing the tendon-to-bone insertion site via a tissue engineering approach.

NANO-STORY
As we know, IPCC said that what the man did, the man must solve. This is a nano story about Nano, who is a boy (Nano is a name or generally a nickname of some boy around the world) or man that will solve the global warming.
