Lead story
Graphene in biosensing. Martin Pumera
Biosensing is paramount for improving the quality of human life. Here, Pumera describes how graphene is being used in enzymatic biosensing, DNA sensing, and immunosensing. The different techniques are compared and the future
development of the field, contemplated
Carbon materials for drug delivery & cancer therapy.
Zhuang Liu, Joshua T. Robinson, Scott M. Tabakman, Kai Yang, and
Hongjie Dai
Carbon nanotubes have been extensively explored as drug delivery carriers for the intracellular transport of chemotherapy drugs, proteins, and genes. Recently, graphene has also shown promise in various biomedical applications. Liu et al. discuss the opportunities and challenges in this rapidly growing field.
Review
Hydrogen storage in nanotubes & nanostructures. George E. Froudakis
Since 1997, many theoretical and experimental groups have
investigated the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanostructures.
In this review Froudakis summarizes the highlights of the work on
hydrogen storage in various types of nanotube and nanostructure.
