Quantum Device Traps, Detects and Manipulates the Spin of Single Electrons
A novel device, developed by a team led by University at Buffalo engineers, simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward spintronics and spin-based quantum computing. view more (2007-09-28)
Water flows like molasses on the nanoscale
A Georgia Tech research team has discovered that water exhibits very different properties when it is confined to channels less than two nanometers wide - behaving much like a viscous fluid with a viscosity approaching that of molasses. view more (2007-04-25)

Plasmonic Whispering Gallery Microcavity Paves the Way to Future Nanolasers
The principle behind whispering galleries - where words spoken softly beneath a domed ceiling or in a vault can be clearly heard on the opposite side of the chamber - has been used to achieve what could prove to be a significant breakthrough in the miniaturization of lasers. Ultrasmall lasers, i.e., nanoscale, promise a wide variety of intriguing... view more... (2009-01-26)
ASU researchers improve memory devices using nanotech
Arizona State University's Center for Applied Nanoionics (CANi) has a new take on old memory, one that promises to boost the performance, capacity and battery life of consumer electronics from digital cameras to laptops. Best of all, it is cheap, made from common materials and compatible with just about anything currently on the market. view more (2007-10-24)
Scientists demonstrate method for integrating nanowire devices directly onto silicon
Applied scientists at Harvard University in collaboration with researchers from the German universities of Jena, Gottingen, and Bremen, have developed a new technique for fabricating nanowire photonic and electronic integrated circuits that may one day be suitable for high-volume commercial production. view more (2008-05-09)
Nanowire biocompatibility in the brain: So far so good
The biological safety of nanotechnology, in other words, how the body reacts to nanoparticles, is a hot topic. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have managed for the first time to carry out successful experiments involving the injection of so-called 'nanowires.' view more (2009-10-23)

Charging ahead: University of Houston team revealing secrets of electricity-producing materials
Much like humans, materials are capable of some pretty remarkable things when they're placed under pressure. In fact, under the right conditions, materials can even produce electricity. view more (2009-07-28)
Canadian research team reports major breakthrough in lithium battery technology
An NSERC-funded lab at the University Of Waterloo has laid the groundwork for a lithium battery that can store and deliver more than three times the power of conventional lithium ion batteries. view more (2009-05-19)
Dual-focus lenses cut thick metal fastest
V&S Scientific, the UK company that licenses the technology from the Force Institute in Denmark, says that demand for the dual focus lenses is beyond expectation, even though they cost much more than conventional optics for laser cutting. The company exceeded its 1999 sales projections for the lenses by the Spring, reports the July issue of Opto... view more... (1999-06-30)
Advance by chemists may lead to better displays on laptop computers, cell phones
UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers. view more (2007-09-18)
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)
