A new coating technology developed at MIT, combined with a novel   
   nanoparticle-manufacturing technology developed at the University of North   
   Carolina at Chapel Hill, may offer scientists a way to quickly mass-produce   
   tailored nanoparticles that are    
   specially coated for specific applications, including medicines and   
   electronics.    
      
   Using this new combination of the two existing technologies, scientists can   
   produce very small, uniform particles with customized layers of material that   
   can carry drugs or other molecules to interact with their environment, or even   
   target specific types    
   of cells.    
      
   Creating highly reproducible batches of precisely engineered, coated   
   nanoparticles is important for the safe manufacture of drugs and obtaining   
   regulatory approval, says Paula Hammond, the David H. Koch Professor in   
   Chemical Engineering at MIT and a    
   member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.
