Caltech and IBM scientists use self-assembled DNA scaffolding to build tiny circuit boards
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and IBM's Almaden Research Center have developed a new technique to orient and position self-assembled DNA shapes and patterns-or "DNA origami"-on surfaces that are compatible with today's semiconductor manufacturing equipment. view more (2009-08-18)
LANL Roadrunner simulates nanoscale material failure
Very tiny wires, called nanowires, made from such metals as silver and gold, may play a crucial role as electrical or mechanical switches in the development of future-generation ultrasmall nanodevices. view more (2009-10-30)
Nanotechnology offers hope for treating spinal cord injuries, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease
Imagine a world where damaged organs in your body—kidneys, liver, heart—can be stimulated to heal themselves. Envision people tragically paralyzed whose injured spinal cords can be repaired. Think about individuals suffering from the debilitating effects of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's relieved of their symptoms - completely and... view more... (2007-04-23)
Nanocrystals Reveal Activity Within Cells
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have created bright, stable and bio-friendly nanocrystals that act as individual investigators of activity within a cell. view more (2009-06-17)
Regular Light Bulbs Made Super-Efficient with Ultra-Fast Laser
An ultra-powerful laser can turn regular incandescent light bulbs into power-sippers, say optics researchers at the University of Rochester. view more (2009-06-01)
A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket. view more (2004-09-30)
Researchers Create New Organic Gel Nanomaterials

A new technique for building nanodevices in the lab
Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania are using a new technique to craft some of the tiniest metal nanostructures ever created, none larger than 10 nanometers, or 10,000 times smaller than the width of a single human hair. view more (2007-06-26)
Miniature Pyramids
The production and characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Electronic components, such as transistors on computer chips, are increasingly becoming smaller, while their performance capabilities are growing. It is expected that the dimensions of such components will be in the nanometre range from as early... view more... (2001-09-27)
Scientists demonstrate effect of confining dielectrics on semiconductor nanowire conductivity
Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), have demonstrated, for the first time, that the activation energy of impurities in semiconductor nanowires is affected by the surrounding dielectric and can be modified by the choice of the... view more...
