(2009-10-30) Transforming Nanowires Into Nano-Tools Using Cation Exchange Reactions A team of engineers from the University of Pennsylvania has transformed simple nanowires into reconfigurable materials and circuits, demonstrating a novel, self-assembling method for chemically creating nanoscale structures that are not possible to grow or obtain otherwise. (2009-10-26) Nanowire biocompatibility in the brain: So far so good The biological safety of nanotechnology, in other words, how the body reacts to nanoparticles, is a hot topic. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have managed for the first time to carry out successful experiments involving the injection of so-called 'nanowires.' (2009-10-23) Harvard scientists bend nanowires into 2-D and 3-D structures Taking nanomaterials to a new level of structural complexity, scientists have determined how to introduce kinks into arrow-straight nanowires, transforming them into zigzagging two- and three-dimensional structures with correspondingly advanced functions. (2009-10-22) Nanoelectronic transistor combined with biological machine could lead to better electronics If manmade devices could be combined with biological machines, laptops and other electronic devices could get a boost in operating efficiency. (2009-08-11) Caltech physicists create first nanoscale mass spectrometer Using devices millionths of a meter in size, physicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a technique to determine the mass of a single molecule, in real time. (2009-07-23) A quicker, cheaper SARS virus detector -- one easily customizable for other targets Members of a USC-led research team say they've made a big improvement in a new breed of electronic detectors for viruses and other biological materials - one that may be a valuable addition to the battle against epidemics. (2009-05-29) Scientists demonstrate effect of confining dielectrics on semiconductor nanowire conductivity Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), have demonstrated, for the first time, that the activation energy of impurities in semiconductor nanowires is affected by the surrounding dielectric and can be modified by the choice of the nanowire embedding medium. (2009-05-06) Self-assembled nanowires could make chips smaller and faster Researchers at the University of Illinois have found a new way to make transistors smaller and faster. The technique uses self-assembled, self-aligned, and defect-free nanowire channels made of gallium arsenide. (2009-04-21) New 'near-field' radiation therapy promises relief for overheating laptops Our modern age has become accustomed to regular improvements in information technology, says Slava Rotkin, but these advances do not come without a cost.
