The wiggling rainbows are pretty to look at, and what they represent is certainly intriguing. Rice scientists have created a video of bending and flexing carbon nanotubes to show once-undetectable characteristics that may someday be tuned for medical and industrial use.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Rutgers University two grants worth $6.4 million to fund graduate research in clean and sustainable energy resources using biotechnology and nanotechnology. The foundatio...
Researchers of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at the TU Delft have succeeded in getting a grip on the environment of a quantum particle, thereby increasing the control over single electrons. With this result, the tea...
Small, smaller, “nano” data storage! Interest is growing in the use of metallofullerenes – carbon “cages” with embedded metallic compounds – as materials for miniature data storage devices. Researchers at Empa have discovered that metallofullerenes are capable of forming ordered supramolecular structures with different orientations.
While materials for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are getting better and better, and encouraging news about record-breaking parameters in efficacy and luminance were published quite recently, one of the major pro...
IBM scientists have been able to image the "anatomy" -- or chemical structure -- inside a molecule with unprecedented resolution, using a complex technique known as noncontact atomic force microscopy.
Biomedical researchers at the University of Arkansas and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock have developed a special contrast-imaging agent that is capable of molecular mapping of lymphatic endothelial cells and detecting cancer metastasis in sentinel lymph nodes.
The fourth international conference on "Environmental Effects of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials" will be held in Vienna, Austria from September 6 to 9, 2009. Distinguished scientists from America, Asia and Europe will convene for scientific presentations and discussions concerning both the potential environmental hazards and the potential advantages of nanotechnology.
Carbon nanotubes hold many exciting possibilities, some of them in the realm of the human nervous system. Recent research has shown that carbon nanotubes may help regrow nerve tissue or ferry drugs used to repair damaged neurons associated with disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and perhaps even paralysis.
Stanford researchers have developed a method of stacking and purifying crystal layers that may pave the way for three-dimensional microchips.
The scientists added tiny germanium crystals in the shape of nanowires to ...
