Cell softening could promote tumour growth Changes in the mechanical properties of living cells may be responsible for the growth of cancerous tumours, according to computer simulations carried out by scientists in the US. Their work suggests that a softening of cells can change the rate at which cells divide and also make cancer cells survive for longer. Taken together, these two factors could lead to the rapid growth of malignant tumours. physicsworld.com   Read more

Nanotube bundles could boost solar cells   Thin-film solar cells could be made far more efficient with the addition of bundles of carbon nanotubes. So say researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US, who have shown that the bundles can be used to adeptly perform the two important steps for generating an electric current. It is first time this has been demonstrated in a single thin-film photovoltaic material.   physicsworld.com Read more
