Engineers point way to better use of nanotubes as measuring tips
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications. view more (2005-10-13)
Real Threats To Countryside Ignored In GM Furore, Ecologists Warn
*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS EMBARGOED UNTIL 16 OCTOBER* The UK should be cautious in developing GM technology in agriculture, the British Ecological Society (BES) has said. However, scientists, policy makers and environmental campaigners should beware that by focussing solely on GM crops, the real threats to the British countryside are being ignored.... view more...

Promising new nanotechnology for spinal cord injury
A spinal cord injury often leads to permanent paralysis and loss of sensation below the site of the injury because the damaged nerve fibers can't regenerate. The nerve fibers or axons have the capacity to grow again, but don't because they're blocked by scar tissue that develops around the injury. view more (2008-04-03)
New nanotech products hitting the market at the rate of 3-4 per week
New nanotechnology consumer products are coming on the market at the rate of 3-4 per week, a finding based on the latest update to the nanotechnology consumer product inventory maintained by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN). view more (2008-04-25)
Researchers demonstrate 'avalanche effect' in solar cells
Researchers at TU Delft and the FOM Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter have found irrefutable proof that the so-called avalanche effect by electrons occurs in specific, very small semiconducting crystals. view more (2008-05-27)
Spiritual Well-being Could Lessen Despair In Terminally Ill People (p 1603)
US research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that feelings of deep despair and a desire to hasten death among terminally ill people can be tempered by strong feelings of spiritual well-being. There is growing research which suggests that spiritual well-being (broadly defined as having an understanding of the meaning and... view more... (2003-05-07)
Scientific design of GM farm-scale evaluations made public
The 40th anniversary issue of the British Ecology Society's Journal of Applied Ecology this month leads with two major papers describing the background, methodology and experimental design of the farm-scale evaluations of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops. In laying out the statistical design and methods of data collection for the... view more... (2003-02-07)
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)
Delft students test scale for in space
Winning Delft team to participate in ESA research-flight. Delft students test scale for in space On 12 and 13 September, four students of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft will test the instruments they designed for measuring mass during periods of weightlessness. The tests will be conducted in a special aeroplane. The plane will carry out a... view more... (2002-09-06)
Why Nanolayers Buckle when Microbeams Bend
High-strength, ultra-light and elastic carbon materials are commonly used in high-performance sports goods and modern aerospace technology-for example in tennis rackets, racing tyres, heat shields and even guitars. view more (2005-12-16)
New Nanotechnology Analysis: Tiny Tech Brings Huge Changes

Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. view more (2009-02-17)
It's the small things in life that matter most !
Research into Nanotechnology has received a boost of £18 M to set up new research collaborations in this area. The money is split between two consortia one in bionanotechnlogy led by Oxford University, with the Universities of Glasgow and York, and the National Institute for Medical Research. This collaboration also involves links with the... view more... (2001-06-14)

Fullerenes: optimising surfaces for anti-wear applications
The problem of the tribological behaviour of materials had focussed on either improving friction or prioritising less wear and tear. The target of FOREMOST project ("FOREMOST: fullerene-based opportunities for robust engineering: making optimised surfaces for tribology") is to achieve both effects simultaneously and, tot his end, the... view more...

Paper battery may power electronics in clothing and packaging material
Imagine a gift wrapped in paper you really do treasure and want to carefully fold and save. That's because the wrapping paper lights up with words like "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Holidays," thanks to a built in battery - an amazing battery made out of paper. view more (2009-09-24)
When nano may not be nano
The same properties of nanoparticles that make them so appealing to manufacturers may also have negative effects on the environment and human health. view more (2009-09-14)
Supersizing the supercomputers: What's next?

Gains in access to antiretroviral treatment come with some costs
In this week's PLoS Medicine magazine, Yibeltal Assefa, from the National HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office in Addis Ababa, and colleagues describe the successes and challenges of the scale-up of antiretroviral treatment (ART) across Ethiopia. view more (2009-04-28)
Carnegie Mellon scientists create PNA molecule with potential to build nanodevices
For the first time, a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon University has shown that the binding of metal ions can mediate the formation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplexes from single strands of PNA that are only partly complementary. view more (2005-10-04)
