Nanotubes take flight
With products that range from carpets to kites, you'd think Rice University chemist Bob Hauge was running a department store. view more (2009-07-30)
Dude, big screen TVs, flexible electronics and surfboards made from same new material!
There is nothing new about combining two materials to make a composite material with more desirable properties than the originals. view more (2007-11-26)
Cool Findings: Nanotubes Could Improve Thermal Management in Electronics
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management. view more (2007-03-30)
New nanotoxicology study delivers promising results
Findings by a team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee bode well for using single-walled carbon nanohorns, a particular form of engineered carbon-based nanoparticles, for drug delivery and other commercial applications. view more (2007-08-20)
As Sticky as a Gecko ... but Ten Times Stronger!
The gecko's amazing ability to stick to surfaces and walk up walls has inspired many researchers to manufacture materials that mimic the special surface of a gecko's foot. view more (2008-10-15)
Nanotube sandwiches could lead to better composite materials
By stacking layers of ceramic cloth with interlocking nanotubes in between, a team of researchers has created new composites with significantly improved properties compared to traditional materials. view more (2006-05-09)
True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties far superior to most common materials. view more (2008-08-18)
Nanotubes inspire new technique for healing broken bones
Scientists have shown for the first time that carbon nanotubes make an ideal scaffold for the growth of bone tissue. The new technique could change the way doctors treat broken bones, allowing them to simply inject a solution of nanotubes into a fracture to promote healing view more (2005-07-11)
Modifications render carbon nanotubes nontoxic
In follow-on work to last year's groundbreaking toxicological study on water-soluble buckyballs, researchers at Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) find that water-soluble carbon nanotubes are significantly less toxic to begin with. view more (2005-10-27)
Carbon nanotube measurements: latest in NIST 'how-to' series
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), has published detailed guidelines for making essential measurements on samples of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The new guide constitutes the current "best practices" for characterizing one... view more... (2008-04-16)
USC researchers print dense lattice of transparent nanotube transistors on flexible base
It's a clear, colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it using a potentially inexpensive low-temperature process. view more (2008-12-17)
Bone-Growing Nanomaterial Could Improve Orthopaedic Implants
For orthopaedic implants to be successful, bone must meld to the metal that these artificial hips, knees and shoulders are made of. A team of Brown University engineers, led by Thomas Webster, has discovered a new material that could significantly increase this success rate. view more (2007-09-18)
New nanotube coating enables novel laser power meter
The U.S. military can now calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily thanks to a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2009-05-11)
Sunlight turns carbon dioxide to methane
Dual catalysts may be the key to efficiently turning carbon dioxide and water vapor into methane and other hydrocarbons using titania nanotubes and solar power, according to Penn State researchers. view more (2009-03-05)
Next-generation microcapsules deliver 'chemicals on demand'
Scientists in California are reporting development of a new generation of the microcapsules used in carbon-free copy paper, in which capsules burst and release ink with pressure from a pen. view more (2009-10-29)
The original nanoworkout -- Helping carbon nanotubes get into shape
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method of compacting carbon nanotubes into dense bundles. view more (2007-06-07)
Glass You Can Build With
The normal structure of metals is crystalline. Glass, on the other hand, is amorphous. But it's possible to make amorphous forms of metal, metallic glasses, which can be remarkably strong, having many properties equal to or better than their crystalline metal cousins. The catch is that bulk metallic glasses are highly susceptible to fatigue, a... view more... (2009-03-24)
How rusty is the Earth?
An iron object lying around outside quickly turns rusty. Iron metal always has to be combined with some other elements or coated with paint to stop it corroding. The reason for this is that iron metal is unstable in the presence of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. It reacts with the iron to produce ferric iron, a form of iron that exists in... view more... (2004-06-10)
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. view more (2009-10-26)
NRL scientists produce carbon nanotubes using commercially available polymeric resins
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have successfully produced carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in high yields in bulk solid compositions using commercially available aromatic containing resins. view more (2008-02-11)
