A rod of material with a thickness or diameter of only a few nanometres.
these nanorods are about 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair
Example sentencesExamples
Carried into the cell in this way, the DNA eventually detached from the nanorods and entered the nucleus.
Recent developments in nanotechnology have produced the aggregated diamond nanorod, an artificial diamond that's harder than any natural diamonds.
Having a high oxygen concentration, the solution surrounding the platinum end is less polar than the solution surrounding the other end of the nanorod.
To increase gene expression, the researchers plan to build nanorods with multiple segments using a variety of metals, such as platinum and silver.
They also aimed for nanorods as long as possible - in this case, 60 nanometers.
The Johns Hopkins team also delivered DNA into mice by using a so-called gene gun to propel small doses of the nanorods under the animals' skin.
When added to a lab dish containing cultured mammalian cells, the nanorods bound to receptors inside tiny pits on the cells' surfaces.
Because nickel is magnetic, researchers could use an external magnetic field to direct nickel-containing nanorods to specific parts of the body.
The lead sulphide will be in the form of nanorods, 100 or so nanometres long and 20 by 20 nanometres in section.
The "receiving antennas" are the previously magnetized nickel bands in the nanorods.
