Getting a feel for the nano world
When it comes to research at the nanoscale, vision is not necessarily an advantage. The subjects are so small, no one can see them. To encourage people with visual impairments to pursue fields in nanotechnology, educators have developed a way to craft accurate, detailed and touch-friendly models of nanoscale objects like carbon nanofibers, allowing the students to "see" those objects...

Scientists discover new method of observing interactions in nanoscale systems
Scientists have used new optical technologies to observe interactions in nanoscale systems that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle usually would prohibit, according to a study published Jan. 17 in the journal Nature. View More (2008-01-17)



UW paper in Science shows how some solids mimic liquids on nanoscale
A University of Waterloo physics and astronomy research team, in a paper to be published Friday in Science Magazine, shows how some solids behave like liquids on the nanoscale. View More (2008-02-04)


Finding the true measure of nanoscale 'roughness'
Straight edges, good. Wavy edges, bad. This simple description holds true whether you are painting the living room or manufacturing nanoscale circuit features. View More (2005-06-17)


Taming Tiny, Unruly Waves for Nano Optics
Nanoscale devices present a unique challenge to any optical technology - there's just not enough room for light to travel in a straight line. View More (2007-10-09)


Nanoscale dimensioning is fast, cheap with new NIST optical technique
A novel technique under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses a relatively inexpensive optical microscope to quickly and cheaply analyze nanoscale dimensions with nanoscale measurement sensitivity. View More (2008-10-30)


Novel nano-etched cavity makes leds 7 times brighter
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) more than seven times brighter by etching nanoscale grooves in a surrounding cavity to guide scattered light in one direction. View More (2006-07-24)


How can we make nanoscale capacitors even smaller?
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered what limits our ability to reduce the size of capacitors, often the largest components in integrated circuits, down to the nanoscale. View More (2006-10-13)


X-ray holograms expose secret magnetism
Collaborative research between scientists in the UK and USA has led to a major breakthrough in the understanding of antiferromagnets, published in this week's Nature. View More (2007-05-03)


Faster 3-D nanoimaging a possibility with full color synchrotron light
Researchers can now see objects more precisely and faster at the nanoscale due to utilising the full colour spectrum of synchrotron light, opening the way for faster 3D nanoimaging. View More (2011-07-01)


Frozen lightning: NIST's new nanoelectronic switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a prototype nanoscale electronic switch that works like lightning—except for the speed. View More (2007-03-05)


Young Chalmers Professor Awarded - again!
Professor Owe Orwar of the Department of Physical Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, will in March this year receive another prestigious prize, the 2003 Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award. The award symposium will be presented at PITTCON 2003 to be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, USA, March 9-14 2003. The symposium will be... View More (2003-01-16)


The nano world of Shrinky Dinks
The magical world of Shrinky Dinks -- an arts and crafts material used by children since the 1970s -- has taken up residence in a Northwestern University laboratory. View More (2010-08-16)


Scientists capture first direct proof of Hofstadter butterfly effect
A team of researchers from several universities - including UCF -has observed a rare quantum physics effect that produces a repeating butterfly-shaped energy spectrum in a magnetic field, confirming the longstanding prediction of the quantum fractal energy structure called Hofstadter's butterfly.  View More (2013-05-17)


Looking deeply into polymer solar cells
Researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Ulm have made the first high-resolution 3D images of the inside of a polymer solar cell. View More (2009-09-14)


Argonne scientists to control attractive force for nanoelectromechanical systems
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are developing a way to control the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical force, which attracts objects when they are only hundred nanometers apart. View More (2009-12-11)


Writing at the nanoscale
At the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists have developed a new chemical "writing" technique that can create lines of "ink" only a few tens of nanometers, or billionths of a meter, in width. View More (2005-08-29)


Argonne's Hard X-ray Nanoprobe provides new capability to study nanoscale materials
