Putting thousands of jellyfish in a blender to make a smoothie sounds like the start of bad joke. In fact, it's one way to source ingredients for a new generation of solar power solutions that could aid medical science and offer cheap energy.
CNN.com's Liz Landau explains "nanobees," tiny particles designed to destroy cancer cells.
They're ready to sting, and they know where they're going.
A group of experts from around the world will Thursday hold a first of its kind conference on global catastrophic risks.

Gray goo or the future of medicine? CNN spoke to Naomi Halas, a professor at Rice University in Texas, about nanotechnology and her work on nanoshells, tiny particles that may hold the key to curing cancer.
Naomi Halas is the inventor of nanoshells, tiny glass particles coated in gold. She dreams of a world without cancer -- and she believes that they hold the key.
By 2020, will cancer be a disease of the past? CNN spoke to scientist Naomi Halas and explored her vision of a world where cancer can be cured with tiny gold-coated nanoparticles.
Want to get rid of germs? Mold and grime? Smelly feet?
A new breed of nanobots is being designed to assist doctors by going where no surgeon or technology has gone before. Working at the scale of molecules, these micro-machines are taking their cues from bacteria and the way in which they find their way around the human body. If they are successful, they could bring about a new type of molecular surgery and a different perspective to our own inner space.

There's nothing tiny about the international controversy brewing over the safety of nanomaterials. In April, a German company recalled a tile sealant called Magic Nano after dozens of consumers suffered breathing problems while using it. Never mind that the product contained particles too large to actually count as nanomaterials (which must be smaller than a billionth of a meter) the scare was on, and European confidence in products labeled "nano" had already sunk.
This is not your father's future.
THE END OF CANCER. FREEDOM from the tyranny of oil. A World Series for the Cubs. None of that is impossible. In preparing this survey, FORTUNE canvassed numerous scientists and other respect- ed th...
Scientists using nanotechnology have devised a way of delivering cancer drugs that could make them up to 10 times more effective in combating the killer disease.
BOUNDING UP THE STAIRS AT THE BEIJING Genomics Institute, Darren Cai, vice president of business development, pulls a flight ahead of me before I realize that the usual pace here is close to a spri...
You may not be able to see it, but you can't avoid its buzz. Nanotechnology is fast becoming as pervasive a cultural icon as TiVo or Levitra. The wizardry of building teeny things that are measured...
Nanotechnology is often mentioned as the tool that will dramatically alter the future.
The vintage vinyl booths at Buck's diner in Woodside, Calif., a few miles from venture capital central along Sand Hill Road, are extra-long, and the wedge of apple pie with vanilla ice cream is ext...
Like music fans sliding CDs into stereos, scientists in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals labs have recently been loading little square thingies called LabChips into novel, toaster-sized machines. T...
WHERE WILL the next great fortunes be created? The question, like what song the sirens sang, is difficult, but not beyond intelligent conjecture. History shows that each successive age has been cha...
