Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional
nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley
Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical
system (NEMS) that can function as a scale sensitive enough to measure the mass
of a single atom of gold.
A research team from Purdue University's Discovery Park will travel to India next month to lead a joint India-United States workshop on how advancements in nanotechnology are helping address growing energy needs.

Scientists seeking to protect the soldier of the future can learn a lot from
a relic of the past, according to an MIT
study of a primitive fish that could point to more effective ways of designing
human body armor.
North Dakota State University researchers discuss how smaller and faster are two goals in today’s electronics market and an article in an international trade publication shows how to design and build such electronics packages.
Julich scientists have succeeded in precisely measuring atomic spacings down to a few picometres using new methods in ultrahigh-resolution electron microscopy. This makes it possible to find out decisive parameters determining the physical properties of materials directly on an atomic level in a microscope.
Taking images of ice a few nanometers thick as it forms bulk ice was supposed to be impossible. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) shouldn't work with ice because STMs create images by relying on conducting current, which runs contrary to one of ice’s basic properties - insulation.
Costing only 10~20% as its silicon counterparts,
the new dye sensitized solar cell devices might make it affordable for much more people to utilize solar
energy, a handy renewable energy source.
A research team led by Dr Oleg Gang at the Brookhaven Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) in New York is using the Zetasizer Nano particle characterization system from Malvern Instruments in ground-breaking work that has demonstrated successful DNA-guided formation of ordered 3-D crystalline structures.
Researchers have overcome a major obstacle in producing transistors from networks
of carbon nanotubes, a technology that could make it possible to print circuits
on plastic sheets for applications including flexible displays and an electronic
skin to cover an entire aircraft.
Adding just the right dash of nanoparticles to standard mixes of lubricants and refrigerants could yield the equivalent of an energy-saving chill pill for factories, hospitals, ships, and others with large cooling systems.
