NIST reference materials are 'gold standard' for bio-nanotech research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first reference standards for nanoscale particles targeted for the biomedical research community-literally "gold standards" for labs studying the biological effects of nanoparticles.   view more (2008-01-10)

Smaller is Stronger - Now Scientists Know Why
As structures made of metal get smaller - as their dimensions approach the micrometer scale (millionths of a meter) or less - they get stronger. Scientists discovered this phenomenon 50 years ago while measuring the strength of tin "whiskers" a few micrometers in diameter and a few... view more (2008-01-03)
