TRACO 2017 - Introduction and Tumor imaging
Translational Research in Clinical Oncology (TRACO)
Recent advances in understanding cancer biology are beginning to be translated into improvements in diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In the post-genome era, we increasingly rely on strong collaboration between basic and clinical scientists to develop novel approaches for treatment of human disease. The NCI Center for Cancer Research (CCR) is one of the largest cancer research organizations in the world, with more than 200 principal investigators, and has played a major role in developing and implementing many new technologies, such as nanotechnology, next generation seq...

The technology would enable communities to produce their own water filters using biomass nanofibers.
The world's population is projected to increase by 2-3 billion over the next 40 years. Already, more than three quarters of a billion people lack access to clean drinking water and 85 percent live in the driest areas of the planet. Those statistics are inspiring chemist Ben Hsiao and his team at ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

NCI Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CCSI) Science Day 2017
Since 2013, the NCI Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI) has hosted Science Day meetings to convene extramural investigators and NIH/NCI program staff with the goal of facilitating scientific conversations and identifying needs and opportunities across cancer research. The 2017 meeting is focused on cancer technology needs over the next 5-10 years and is aligned with three thematic areas: health data and computation, prevention and early detection, and immunotherapy. The meeting is supported by the CSSI Office of the Director, Office of Cancer Nanotechnology Research, Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Rese...

A new device developed by engineers is able to feel the forces generated by swimming bacteria
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a miniature device that's sensitive enough to feel the forces generated by swimming bacteria and hear the beating of heart muscle cells. The device is a nano-sized optical fiber that's about 100 times thinner than a human hair. ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Beam of ultraviolet light hitting swarm of rhodium nanocubes
A beam of ultraviolet light hits a swarm of rhodium nanocubes. Duke University researchers have engineered rhodium nanoparticles (blue) that can harness the energy in ultraviolet light and use it to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane, a key building block for many types of ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Growth of gold nanowires on silicon dioxide surface (Image 1)
Gold nanowires, about as tall as a human red blood cell is wide. The image, captured by a scanning electron microscope and colorized using Adobe Photoshop, was taken as the nanowires grew on silicon at room temperature. Perfecting such fabrication techniques will allow researchers to enhance ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
