Nanoscale Cantilevers (Animation) - Nanoscale cantilevers – microscopic, flexible beams resembling a row of diving boards – are built using semiconductor lithographic techniques. These can be coated with molecules capable of binding specific substrates—DNA complementary to a specific gene sequence, for example. Such micron-sized devices, comprising many nanometer-sized cantilevers, can detect single molecules of DNA or protein. (National Cancer Institute)

Nanoparticles (Animation) - Nanoparticulate technology can prove to be very useful in cancer therapy allowing for effective and targeted drug delivery by overcoming the many biological, biophysical and biomedical barriers that the body stages against a standard intervention such as the administration of drugs or contrast agents.

Nanoshells (Animation) - Nanoshells have a core of silica and a metallic outer layer. Because of their size, they will preferentially concentrate in cancer lesion sites. This physical selectivity occurs through a phenomenon called enhanced permeation retention (EPR). (National Cancer Institute)

Nanowires (Animation) - Nanowires are man-made constructs made with carbon, silicon and other materials that have the capability to monitor the complexity of biological phenomenon and relay the information, as it is monitored, to the medical care provider. (National Cancer Institute)

Exploring Nanotechnology in Cancer - A primer on nanotechnology and it promise to offer unprecedented and paradigm-changing opportunities to study and interact with normal and cancer cells in real time, at the molecular and cellular scales, and during the earliest stages of the cancer process.

A Video Journey Into Nanotechnology - An animated video describing the promise of nanotechnology in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases, including cancer. To view this video you will need Windows Media Player or Apple Quicktime installed on your computer, which you can download for free for either a PC or a Macintosh. A text version of this video is also available. (National Cancer Institute)
