Placing single nanowires: NIST makes the connection
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a system for manipulating and precisely positioning individual nanowires on semiconductor wafers. view more (2007-04-30)
Neuroscientists discover long-term potentiation in the olfactory bulb
Ben W. Strowbridge, Ph.D, associate professor of Neuroscience and Physiology/Biophysics, and Yuan Gao, a Ph.D. student in the neurosciences program at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, are the first to discover a form of synaptic memory in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that processes the sense of smell. view more (2009-05-04)
Three new lung tumor subtypes identified in DNA profiling study
A new study has identified three subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer tumors, a finding that may provide valuable clinical information about patient survival in early- or late-stage disease, how likely the cancer is to spread and whether the tumor will prove resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-31)
UCR scientists manipulate ripples in graphene, enabling strain-based graphene electronics
Graphene is nature's thinnest elastic material and displays exceptional mechanical and electronic properties. view more (2009-07-27)
UWE scientists find link between wilting plants and impotence
Researchers studying plant behaviour have discovered similarities between the processes preventing plants from wilting and humans from suffering impotence. Data recently published by the University of the West of England shows the same chemical chain of events is involved in both situations - and has led to an understanding of how water loss from... view more...

Latest IMM-newsletter "IMMage" published
Special issue "reforming technology" „Micro systems for the people" was the motto of the last issue of our newsletter "IMMage". The urgent need for a sustainable, environmentally sound and resource sparing energy supply is certainly one of the questions concerning our society today. Hydrogen and fuel cells yield... view more... (2004-07-13)
New light microscope sharpens scientists' focus
A new light microscope so powerful that it allows scientists peering inside cells to discern the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying has been developed and successfully demonstrated by scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus in collaboration with researchers at the National... view more...

Smell of success for nanobiosensors
Modern-day doctors may soon start using smell to detect the early warning signs of different illnesses thanks to technology that replicates-and improves upon-the human olfactory system thanks to tiny bioelectronic sensors. view more (2006-05-15)
New Device could revolutionise eye disease diagnosis-creating eye maps on the high street
A new digital ophthalmoscope, devised by a research team led by the University of Warwick can provide both doctors and high street optometrists with a hand held eye disease diagnosis device equal to the power of bulky hospital based eye diagnosis cameras. It will also give optometrists the ability to email detailed eye maps of patients to... view more... (2007-03-06)
Guarding giants with tiny protectors
How do you build an infrared (IR) camera that is small enough to fit on a mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) without cryogenic cooling? Call in the nanobots. view more (2005-10-24)
Stardust particles tell story about birth of solar system
Particulate materials captured from the comet Wild 2 have revealed clues about the birth of our solar system that counter some of the basic theories that the solar nebular is gently collapsing inward to form the sun and the planets. view more (2006-12-18)
Invisible for Electrons
As thin as it gets: the carbon membranes recently created by Max Planck scientists are only one atom thick. For electrons, such membranes are almost completely transparent-using an electron microscope, scientists may thus be able to examine absorbed individual molecules on the membranes, and image the atomic structure of complex biological... view more...

UCLA physicists create world's smallest incandescent lamp
In an effort to explore the boundary between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics - two fundamental yet seemingly incompatible theories of physics - a team from the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has created the world's smallest incandescent lamp. view more (2009-05-07)
Nanoscale imaging reveals unexpected behaviors in high-temperature superconductors
Recent discoveries regarding the physics of ceramic superconductors may help improve scientists' understanding of resistance-free electrical power. view more (2007-05-31)
Southampton researchers develop novel method for detecting vCJD prions on surgical instruments
Researchers from the University of Southampton, together with Surrey-based diagnostics company, Microgen Bioproducts Limited, and microscopy specialists, Best Scientific of Swindon, are developing important new methods for detecting prions- the proteins implicated in sporadic and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD) - on surgical instruments.... view more...

Movies show nanotubes bend like sluggish guitar strings
In an exciting advance in nanotechnology imaging, Rice University scientists have discovered a way to use standard optical microscopes and video cameras to film individual carbon nanotubes — tiny cylinders of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA. view more (2006-06-28)
Water, water, everywhere - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
Over half our planet is covered in water, and life cannot exist without it. But despite how common and important it is, surprisingly little is known about the structure of water, especially when it is next to other materials. A detailed understanding of how water behaves would not only reveal how biomolecules assemble or function - and possibly... view more... (2002-03-26)
Lords To Report On Continuing Professional Development For Science Teachers
The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee will publish a short report on continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers of science on Wednesday 21st March, 0001 hrs. Estelle Morris MP, Minister for School Standards, gave oral evidence to the inquiry which is appended to the report. Evidence was also taken from the Council for... view more... (2001-03-15)
Are nanobots on their way?
The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers, researchers describe an early prototype for a nanoassembler. view more (2008-04-29)
New special needs technologies showcased
Exciting new worlds are being opened up by putting together the technologies of electronic music, special needs, therapy and the arts, and the technologies which help people make the greatest use of the movement they are capable of. And the Special Needs Technology 2000 conference at the University is attracting delegates and exhibitors from... view more... (1999-10-26)
