A new approach to engineering for extreme environments
Composite materials such as fiberglass, which take on a mix of properties of their constituent compounds, have been around for decades. Now, an MIT materials scientist is taking composites to the n..Growing Role of Nanotechnology in Medical Devices
To the surprise of no one, the med-tech industry is finding that there is, still, plenty of room at the bottom, to paraphrase physicist and nanotechnology pioneer Richard Feynman. The global medical mMemristor: 4th fundamental circuit element found
Researchers at HP Labs have proven the physical existence of the memristor which had previously been only theorized as the fourth fundamental circuit element.New nanoscale technology for memory storage
Researchers have developed a new type of computer memory, which they say will boost the performance, capacity and battery life of consumer electronics, such as digital cameras and laptops.Nanoscience creates world's smallest book
“It is primarily a work of art - we are using it as just a fun project,” said Professor Karen Kavanagh said. “In order to read it, you have to have an electron microscope.”Nanowerk Spotlight
"The nanoworld cannot be portrayed with a camera, nor can it be seen even with the most powerful optical microscope. Only special instruments have access to images of the nanoworld." Mind-boEuropean nanotechnology team builds molecular rack-and-pinion
"The pinion is a 1.8-nm-diameter molecule functioning as a six-toothed wheel interlocked at the edge of a self-assembled molecular island acting as a rack." Whoa.Nano-welds herald new era of electronics
"The world’s smallest construction site is taking shape in a laboratory in Switzerland, thanks to the development of new welding techniques that work at scales of a billionth of a metre."Novel Nanoscale Construction Principle Prevents Bones From Breaking At Excessive Force
"Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have found a new design principle at the nanoscale which is responsible for the enormous stability and deformabilty of bone.&quoQuantum dots used to track protein traffic
"Quantum dots – brightly reflective nano-crystals – could allow biologists to watch biological activities that cannot normally be resolved under a microscope..."Novel nano-etched cavity makes leds 7 times brighter
Does what it says on the tin."Chromophores" Emerge as New Class of Nanoscale Semiconductors
In layman's terms: very very small wires that conduct very very quickly.Researchers Reveal New Insights into the Surface of Silicon Semiconductors
The smaller we make them, the more we have to understand about the way they're made.
