Professors Kostya Novoselov and Andre Geim, who received the Nobel Prize for Physics for their innovative research works to study graphene and its superior properties, have been awarded knighthoods. They have been knighted for ‘Services to Science.’
Graphene has the tendency to stack together to form graphite. A method developed by scientists from the University of Cambridge, DSO National Laboratories and the National University of Singapore (NUS) prevents graphene sheets from re-stacking by bonding alkyl surface chains on them, while maintaining the characteristics of their nano-graphene pockets.
A research team led by Xiuling Li, who serves as a Professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has developed a low-cost method to fabricate high-aspect-ratio, large-area III-V nanostructures for applications in advanced optoelectronic devices such as lasers and solar cells.
Using plasmonic nanoantenna arrays, Purdue University researchers have demonstrated new ways of accurately manipulating the propagation of light by modifying its phase, opening the door for new class of optical advancements such as powerful computers, telecommunications and microscopes.
ItN Nanovation, a portfolio company of Nanostart, has announced that its nanocoating product dubbed Nanocomp Metcast has successfully passed field trials conducted by IRKAZ, RUSAL’s aluminum smelter located in Irkutsk, and experts at the Engineering and Technology Center of RUSAL.
A research team comprising Rawil Fakhrullin and his colleagues has developed a novel method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles to supply therapeutic human cells to disease-affected body parts, paving the way for accelerating the utilization of cell therapy wherein stem cells or normal cells are delivered into the body to cure diseases.
A research team led by Prashant Kamat, who serves as an investigator at the Center for Nano Science and Technology (NDnano) of the University of Notre Dame as well as John A. Zahm Professor of Science in Chemistry and Biochemistry, has utilized quantum dots, which are semiconducting nanoparticles, to develop a low-cost solar paint for generating energy.
A research team led by Peidong Yang, a chemist at the Materials Sciences Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has developed a nanowire endoscope by integrating a waveguide of tin oxide nanowire with an optical fiber’s tapered end, paving the way for capturing optical images of the inside of an individual live cell at high resolution or accurately delivering drugs, proteins, genes or other cargo without causing damage to the cell.
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has granted Natcore Technology a patent license agreement for developing and commercializing black silicon products. NREL and Natcore also intend to sign a cooperative research and development agreement for the development of commercial prototypes of NREL's black silicon inventions.
ResearchMoz has added a new report titled, ‘The World Market for Nanocoatings’ to its list of offering. In the worldwide coatings field, nanocoatings pave the way for potential opportunities.
