To functionalize graphene with gold -- thus controlling its electronics properties -- engineers at Kansas State University embedded gold on graphene. Rather than distributing itself evenly over graphene, the gold formed islands on the sheets' surfaces. They named these islands snowflake-shaped gold nanostars.
A magnetic charge can behave and interact just like an electric charge in some materials, according to new research conducted at STFC's ISIS facility and led by the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) which could ...

Micro Bubble Technologies Inc. ("MBT"), the operating subsidiary of EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: ECOS), has further enhanced distribution of its Carbon Nano Tube Battery (CNT-Battery) and M-Fuel by signing a...
Silicon, the most important semiconductor material of all, is usually considered to be as brittle and breakable as window glass. On the nanometer scale, however, the substance exhibits very different properties, as Empa researchers have shown by creating minute silicon pillars.
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: XDSL.OB) announced today that their Phase II STTR Grant was renewed by the US Army. The two year grant was initially awarded in September 2008 for the amount of $750,000. mPhase will continue to develop the Smart NanoBattery under this grant program through September 2010.
NanoSight, manufacturers of unique nanoparticle characterization technology, is pleased to report that the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham is using multiple NanoSight nanoparticle characterization systems to study viruses and catalyst nanoparticles.
Researchers at Ohio State University are experimenting with polymer semiconductors that absorb the sun's energy and generate electricity. The goal: lighter, cheaper, and more-flexible solar cells.
They have now d...
Wires with atomic dimensions are potential structural elements for future nanoscopic electronic components. Such fine wires have completely new electronic properties. However, apart from the non-trivial production of metallic nanowires, their high chemical reactivity is a critical problem; they are easily oxidized in air and are not stable. Japanese researchers working with R. Kitaura and H. Shinohara have now developed a new method that is simple and delivers stable nanowires.
