Golden Scales: Nanoscale Mass Sensor from Berkeley Can Be Used to Weigh Individual Atoms and Molecules
There's a new "gold standard" in the sensitivity of weighing scales. Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) that can function as a scale... view more...

Nanotechnologies Bring Great Potential And Need For Responsible Development
Nanotechnology offers many potential benefits, but its development must be guided by appropriate safety assessments and regulation to minimise any possible risks to people and the environment, according to a report published today (29 July 2004) by the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering. The report was commissioned by the UK... view more... (2004-07-29)
£4M awarded for research in Integrated Electronics
The University of Surrey's Integrated Electronics research programme is one of only eight research teams in the UK to receive one of the new Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Portfolio Partnership Awards being announced at the EPSRC's annual conference in London on Wednesday 3 April 2003. The University of Surrey (UniS)... view more... (2003-03-25)
Graphene nanoelectronics: Making tomorrow's computers from a pencil trace
A key discovery at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute could help advance the role of graphene as a possible heir to copper and silicon in nanoelectronics. view more (2007-07-24)
Researchers Create Catalysts for Use in Hydrogen Storage Materials
A team of scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Uppsala in Sweden, and the Savannah River National Laboratory have identified that carbon nanostructures can be used as catalysts to store and release hydrogen, a finding that may point researchers toward developing the right material for hydrogen storage for use in cars. view more (2009-03-25)
Make Way for the Real Nanopod: Berkeley Researchers Create First Fully Functional Nanotube Radio
Make way for the real nanopod and make room in the Guinness World Records. A team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have created the first fully functional radio from a single carbon nanotube, which makes it by several orders of... view more...

Transforming Nanowires Into Nano-Tools Using Cation Exchange Reactions
A team of engineers from the University of Pennsylvania has transformed simple nanowires into reconfigurable materials and circuits, demonstrating a novel, self-assembling method for chemically creating nanoscale structures that are not possible to grow or obtain otherwise. view more (2009-10-26)
Caught in Flight
Chemists are very interested in unusual molecules that are made from atoms of a single element. For example, fullerenes ("buckyballs") and nanotubes, made of pure carbon, are generating a lot of excitement among materials scientists. If all were as it should be, the element phosphorus should be more similar to carbon than any other member of the... view more... (1999-11-24)
Improved e-jet printing provides higher resolution and more versatility
By combining electrically induced fluid flow with nanoscale nozzles, researchers at the University of Illinois have established new benchmarks for precision control and resolution in jet-printing processes. view more (2007-09-10)
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)
Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level
Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level Mimicking the cell walls transport system by biocoated nanotubes opens novel possibilities for numerous applications Living cells transport selectively molecules in and out through their cell walls. This process is remarkably accurate and efficient. In... view more... (2002-07-04)
Pitt researchers harness carbon nanomaterials for drug delivery systems, oxygen sensors
Two nanoscale devices recently reported by University of Pittsburgh researchers in two separate journals harness the potential of carbon nanomaterials to enhance technologies for drug or imaging agent delivery and energy storage systems, in one case, and, in the other, bolster the sensitivity of oxygen sensors essential in confined settings, from... view more...

Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is known as a diffractive optical element-based sensor... view more...

"Rational" Meccano
Nanofibrous carbon is interesting by itself: it consists of carbon fibres of 3 to 500 nm in diameter. These fibres can form " cylinders" (which make almost finished polymeric nanotubes), or a system of cones stowed one into the other at a certain angle to the fibre axis, or simply "wrapping package" - this is driven by the type of applied catalyst... view more...

Natural gas nanotech
Nanotechnology could revolutionize the natural gas industry across the whole lifecycle from extraction to pollution reduction or be an enormous missed opportunity, claim two industry experts writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nanotechnology. view more (2007-10-31)
Test finds manufactured nanoparticles don't harm soil ecology
The first published study on the environmental impact of manufactured nanoparticles on ordinary soil showed no negative effects, which is contrary to concerns voiced by some that the microscopic particles could be harmful to organisms. view more (2007-03-23)
Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new energy storage device that easily could be mistaken for a simple sheet of black paper. view more (2007-08-14)
Bacteria ferry nanoparticles into cells for early diagnosis, treatment
Researchers at Purdue University have shown that common bacteria can deliver a valuable cargo of "smart nanoparticles" into a cell to precisely position sensors, drugs or DNA for the early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. view more (2007-06-14)
UCLA physicists create world's smallest incandescent lamp
In an effort to explore the boundary between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics - two fundamental yet seemingly incompatible theories of physics - a team from the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy has created the world's smallest incandescent lamp. view more (2009-05-07)
Nanoscale Tubing Assembles Itself Instantly
Making tubes useful often means joining them to other tubes and linking them together in networks. Easy enough to do with standard water pipes - but on the nanoscale, joining nanotubes is hard to do. view more (2006-02-28)
