It may sound like science fiction, but there was a time when people were optimistic about the future. Perhaps no other decade embodies that optimism than the 1960s, though maybe it was all of the psychedelic drugs. Still, we made it to the moon, and sci-fi shows like “Star Trek” offered an inspiring vision of […]
They say good things come in small packages. Like Herve Villechaize, the French actor who played Tattoo on Fantasy Island. The idiom also applies to drugs. No, we’re not talking about the little envelope that Nick at work slips you in the breakroom every other Friday. This is about nano-drug delivery – using nanoparticles to […]
If you’re lucky enough to raise funding for your startup, you will then need to contend with new stakeholders that want to see “an exit”. When we refer to an exit, we refer to an event that takes place where the investors who gave you money, then get their money back – ideally, more money than they gave you […]
It’s hard to say just how many publicly traded stocks we’ve covered so far on Nanalyze, but we’d guess that around 40% of our articles involve a publicly traded stock that has some degree of exposure (or claimed exposure) to one or more emerging technologies.

At the CB Insights fintech conference that wrapped up recently, an interesting fellow named Michael Novogratz made the remark that “Great bubbles occur around stories that are going to happen“, and we thought that would pretty appropriately describe the little hype bubble that took place around 2004 for nanotechnology. We had some forums at that […]
Nanotechnology was all the rage back in 2004 when George Dubya Bush signed the Nanotechnology Research and Development Act and investors caught wind of a potential opportunity. This, of course, prompted us to start Nanalyze as we were dying to figure out how we could get a piece of that nano action as retail investors. […]
In May of last year, we published an article titled “What if 3D Printing Was 1000X Faster” which talked about a 3D printing company called Carbon 3D which is looking to completely disrupt 3D printing with their technology that “grows” 3D objects from a pool of liquid resin. The speed at which current 3D printing technology […]
For a majority of the people in this world who were fortunate enough to receive vaccinations, there are probably still some lingering unpleasant memories of being stuck with needles as a child. One Australian startup, Vaxxas, promises to eliminate the need for needles to be used in vaccinations by using their “Nanopatch” application method. About […]
In August of last year, we highlighted a nano drug delivery company called BIND Therapeutics (NASDAQ:BIND), a company with strong pharma partnerships and an experienced management team. While BIND Therapeutics hit a 52-week low this week, about one-third of the way through today’s trading day we see that BIND is up over +11% with volume […]
The U.S. market for branded prescription drugs for acne was estimated to be approximately $2.6 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2014, of which $1.6 billion was attributed to topical drugs such as Epiduo and Aczone and $1 billion was attributed to oral drugs. Orally administered Solodyn is the brand name for an antibiotic […]
