Research and Markets has included a new research report titled ‘Smart Textiles & Nanotechnologies: Applications, Technologies & Markets’ to its catalogue.
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) have developed nitrogen-enriched iron-carbon nanorods, which can be used as a low-cost alternative to platinum catalysts used in microbial fuel cells (MFCs).
The US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTA) has permitted materials science company, NaturalNano, a patent to safeguard the process for employing the company’s patented Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT) in synthesizing nanocomposites. This extends to heat-treated clays and polymers as well.
Medical implants in the human body often have to combat against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that form a biofilm on the device. These bacteria are difficult to treat as they are mostly resistant to antibiotics.
Vorbeck Materials and its partners Princeton University and Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) have won the R&D 100 Award, an annual award instituted by R&D Magazine in honor of 100 most important technological and scientific products and innovations of the year.
A multi-institute team of researchers has imaged and shown the propagation of surface plasmons on graphene using an infrared light beam and demonstrated a way to control them utilizing a basic electrical circuit.
Using carbon nanotubes, Rice University scientists, Bruce Weisman and Satish Nagarajaiah, have developed a new class of paint named ‘strain paint,’ which is capable of detecting strain in airplanes, bridges and buildings.
A study carried out at the Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, Rice University, revealed the potential of flattened carbon nanotubes. Labeled as closed-edged graphene nanoribbons, they are the result of carbon nanotubes collapsing during growth.
Graphene is a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms. The structure of graphene consists of six-member carbon rings, resembling a honeycomb. The single layer, two dimensional structures imparts the properties unique to graphene such as transparency, flexibility, strength, electrical and thermal conductivity.
Research carried out at North Carolina State University to identify better methods for genetic material packaging to aid in gene therapy has led to findings that could significantly impact gene therapy research and DNA-based electronics.
