Nanoscale News Stories
Current Nanoscale News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Nanotech: A regulatory blueprint for the next administration
Nanotechnology will significantly change virtually every facet of the way we live. The next president has the opportunity to shape these changes and to ensure that nanotechnology's benefits will be maximized and its risks identified and controlled. (2008-07-23)
"Nanosculpture" Could Enable New Types of Heat Pumps and Energy Converters
A new technique for growing single-crystal nanorods and controlling their shape using biomolecules could enable the development of smaller, more powerful heat pumps and devices that harvest electricity from heat. (2008-07-21)
A Colorful Approach to Solar Energy
Revisiting a once-abandoned technique, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have successfully created a sophisticated, yet affordable, method to turn ordinary glass into a high-tech solar concentrator. (2008-07-11)
Controlling the Size of Nanoclusters: First Step in Making New Catalysts
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have developed a new instrument that allows them to control the size of nanoclusters - groups of 10 to 100 atoms - with atomic precision. (2008-07-10)
LLNL researchers peer into water in carbon nanotubes
Researchers have identified a signature for water inside single-walled carbon nanotubes, helping them understand how water is structured and how it moves within these tiny channels. (2008-06-26)
Argonne's Hard X-ray Nanoprobe provides new capability to study nanoscale materials
The Center for Nanoscale Materials' (CNM) newly operational Hard X-ray Nanoprobe at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is one of the world's most powerful x-ray microscopes. (2008-06-25)
Laser Surgery Probe Targets Individual Cancer Cells
Mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Adela Ben-Yakar at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a laser "microscalpel" that destroys a single cell while leaving nearby cells intact, which could improve the precision of surgeries for cancer, epilepsy and other diseases. (2008-06-25)
Tethered Molecules Act as Light-Driven Reversible Nanoswitches
The ability to see is based on molecules in the eye that flip from one conformation to another when exposed to visible light. (2008-06-24)
Microwave synthesis connects with the (quantum) dots
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a simplified, low-cost process for producing high-quality, water-soluble "quantum dots" for biological research. (2008-06-13)
'Nanoglassblowing' seen as boon to study of individual molecules
While the results may not rival the artistry of glassblowers in Europe and Latin America, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Cornell University have found beauty in a new fabrication technique called "nanoglassblowing" that creates nanoscale (billionth of a meter) fluidic devices used to isolate and study single molecules in solution-including individual DNA strands. The novel method is described in a paper posted online next week in the journal Nanotechnology. (2008-06-13)
