Just Scratching the Surface: New Technique Maps Nanomaterials as They Grow
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a measurement technique that will help scientists and companies map nanomaterials as they grow. View More (2008-11-05)
Rice discovery points way to graphene circuits
Rice University materials scientists have made a fundamental discovery that could make it easier for engineers to build electronic circuits out of the much-touted nanomaterial graphene. View More (2011-08-05)
Advance in X-ray imaging shines light on nanomaterials
A new advance in X-ray imaging has revealed the dramatic three-dimensional shape of gold nanocrystals, and is likely to shine a light on the structure of other nano-scale materials. View More (2012-08-08)
Carbon nanostructures -- elixir or poison?
A Los Alamos National Laboratory toxicologist and a multidisciplinary team of researchers have documented potential cellular damage from "fullerenes"-soccer-ball-shaped, cage-like molecules composed of 60 carbon atoms. The team also noted that this particular type of damage might hold hope for treatment of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or even cancer. View More (2010-04-01)
Probing the nanoparticle: Predicting how nanoparticles will react in the human body
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a method for predicting the ways nanoparticles will interact with biological systems - including the human body. View More (2010-08-16)
Tin nanocrystals for the battery of the future
More powerful batteries could help electric cars achieve a considerably larger range and thus a breakthrough on the market. View More (2013-04-09)
Could a computer one day rewire itself?
Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a new nanomaterial that can "steer" electrical currents. The development could lead to a computer that can simply reconfigure its internal wiring and become an entirely different device, based on changing needs. View More (2011-10-17)
Trapping prostate cancer cells to keep them from spreading provides hope
When prostate cancer stem cells (CSCs) were enclosed in self-assembling nanomaterials made of peptides (SAP), the SAP stopped cancer stem cell colony formation and also stopped the division of cancer cells in laboratory cultures (in vitro). View More (2011-03-11)
Think green, UO's Hutchison says, to reduce nanotech hazards
The University of Oregon's Jim Hutchison already holds three patents in the emerging field of nanotechnology as well as leadership roles in organizations that promote the technology's potential in materials science and medicine. View More (2008-04-01)
Carbon in a twirl: The science behind a self-assembled nano-carbon helix
Nanomaterials exhibit unique properties that can only unfold when the structures of the material are very small - that is, at the nanoscale. View More (2013-05-17)
New antibacterial material for bandages, food packaging, shoes
A new form of paper with the built-in ability to fight disease-causing bacteria could have applications that range from anti-bacterial bandages to food packaging that keeps food fresher longer to shoes that ward off foot odor. View More (2010-07-22)
Rensselaer engineers 'cook' promising new heat-harvesting nanomaterials in microwave oven
Waste heat is a byproduct of nearly all electrical devices and industrial processes, from driving a car to flying an aircraft or operating a power plant. View More (2011-09-30)
Study: Nanotech processing 'greener' than oil refining
Using a method for assessing the premiums that companies pay for insurance, a team of scientists and insurance experts have concluded that the manufacturing processes for five, near-market nanomaterials - including quantum dots, carbon nanotubes and buckyballs - present fewer risks to the environment than some common industrial processes like oil refining.

Children may have highest exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles
Children may be receiving the highest exposure to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide in candy, which they eat in amounts much larger than adults, according to a new study. View More (2012-02-16)
Nanomaterials vulnerable to dispersal in natural environment
Laboratory experiments with a type of nanomaterial that has great promise for industrial use show significant potential for dispersal in aquatic environments - especially when natural organic materials are present. View More (2006-12-19)
Carbon nanotubes lower nerve-damaging chloride in cells
A nanomaterial engineered by researchers at Duke can help regulate chloride levels in nerve cells that contribute to chronic pain, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. View More (2012-12-11)
New insights into health and environmental effects of carbon nanoparticles
A new study raises the possibility that flies and other insects that encounter nanomaterial "hot spots," or spills, near manufacturing facilities in the future could pick up and transport nanoparticles on their bodies, transferring the particles to other flies or habitats in the environment.

Graphene boosts efficiency of next-gen solar cells
The coolest new nanomaterial of the 21st century could boost the efficiency of the next generation of solar panels, a team of Michigan Technological University materials scientists has discovered. View More (2012-04-25)
UCLA researchers outline the structure of the largest non-virus particle ever crystallized
Researchers at UCLA, the California NanoSystems Institute, the David Geffen School of Medicine, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have modeled the structure of the largest cellular structure ever crystallized, suggesting ways to engineer the particles for drug delivery. View More (2007-11-27)
Dust from industrial-scale processing of nanomaterials carries high explosion risk
With expanded industrial-scale production of nanomaterials fast approaching, scientists are reporting indications that dust generated during processing of nanomaterials may explode more easily than dust from wheat flour, cornstarch and most other common dust explosion hazards.
