Physicists from Umeå University and Finland have found an efficient way to synthesize graphene nanoribbons directly inside of single-walled carbon nanotubes. The result was recently published in the scientific journal Nano Letters.
Using a strategy based on treating cancer cells that carry a specific genetic signature – hyper-expression of the protein Myc – with therapy that affects the stability of the cell’s DNA, more effective results can be achieved. This was discovered by Andreas Höglund in his dissertation to be publicly defended at Umeå University on September 9.
"We are estimating the same number of first-time students this autumn as we had last year," says Anders Fällström, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Education.
“We are extremely pleased that Umeå University continues to be an attractive higher educational institution for international exchange students. Approximately 450 new students are expected to arrive for the start of the autumn term, which is similar to last year,” says Per A. Nilsson, International Office Director.
