Stony Brook, N.Y., April 15, 2008 U.S. and European scientists have created an artificial nanomaterial for use in electronic applications. The new material was developed through a collaboration of the theory group of Professor Philippe Ghosez at the University of Liżżge, Belgium, and an experimental group of Professor Jean-Marc Triscone of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Matthew Dawber, of Stony Brook ... more Ford Scientists Look To Nanotech For Performance And Fuel Economy Improvements 
Detroit MI (SPX) Apr 15, 2008Ford is leaving no particle unturned in the quest for fuel efficiency. Ford scientists are embracing the burgeoning fields of nanotechnology in developing paints, plastics, light metals and catalysts that allow Ford to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel economy without sacrificing quality. Company researchers plan to outline key ways Ford is leveraging nanoparticles to improve automotive ... more Sweet Nanotech Batteries 
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 14, 2008Nanotechnology could improve the life of the lithium batteries used in portable devices, including laptop computers, mp3 players, and mobile phones. Research to be published in the Inderscience publication - International Journal of Nanomanufacturing - demonstrates that carbon nanotubes can prevent such batteries from losing their charge capacity over time. Researchers at the Shenyang ... more |

Paris (AFP) March 12, 2008Best known as the blueprint for life, DNA is also a marvel of architecture that can be used to build 3-D structures measured in billionths of a metre, according to a study released Wednesday. A team of scientists in the United States has shown in experiments how to construct complex, spherical objects with tiny strings of DNA that assemble by themselves. DNA nanotechnology uses the build ... more Carnegie Mellon Researchers Create Invisibiity Cloak 
Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Mar 10, 2008Carnegie Mellon University's Michael Bockstaller and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski have created a version of Harry Potter's famed "invisibility cloak" for nanoparticles. Through a collaborative effort, researchers from the departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Chemistry have developed a new design paradigm that makes particles invisible. In a recent edition of Advanced Materials ... more Lensless X-ray nanotechnique is developed 
Argonne, Ill. (UPI) Feb 25, 2008 A U.S.-led team of scientists has developed a lensless X-ray technique that can record images of extremely tiny structures in nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory -- working with scientists from the University of California-Los Angeles, the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University in Melbourne and the Australian ... more Nanotechnology's Future Depends On Who The Public Trusts 
Washington DC (SPX) Feb 19, 2008When the public considers competing arguments about a new technology's potential risks and benefits, people will tend to agree with the expert whose values are closest to their own, no matter what position the expert takes. The same will hold true for nanotechnology, a key study has found. The study results appear in a report issued today by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. ... more NRL Scientists Produce Carbon Nanotubes Using Commercially Available Polymeric Resins 
Washington DC (SPX) Feb 08, 2008Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have successfully produced carbon nanotubes in high yields in bulk solid compositions using commercially available aromatic containing resins. The concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and metal nanoparticles can be easily varied within the shaped carbonaceous solid. Carbon nanotube containing fibers and films have also be ... more |

Stanford CA (SPX) Jan 03, 2008Stanford researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires to reinvent the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power laptops, iPods, video cameras, cell phones, and countless other devices. The new version, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion, known as Li-io ... more New Property Found In Ancient Mineral Lodestone 
Houston TX (SPX) Dec 18, 2007Using the latest methods for nanofabrication, a team led by Rice University physicists has discovered a surprising new electronic property in one of the earliest-known and most-studied magnetic minerals on Earth -- lodestone, also known as magnetite. By changing the voltage in their experiment, researchers were able to get magnetite at temperatures colder than minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit to rev ... more New Paper Reveals Nanoscale Details Of Photolithography Process 
Washington DC (SPX) Dec 13, 2007Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first direct measurements of the infinitesimal expansion and collapse of thin polymer films used in the manufacture of advanced semiconductor devices. It's a matter of only a couple of nanometers, but it can be enough to affect the performance of next-generation chip manufacturing. The NIST measurements, ... more Nanotube-Producing Bacteria Show Manufacturing Promise 
Riverside CA (SPX) Dec 10, 2007Two engineers at the University of California, Riverside are part of a binational team that has found semiconducting nanotubes produced by living bacteria - a discovery that could help in the creation of a new generation of nanoelectronic devices. The research team believes this is the first time nanotubes have been shown to be produced by biological rather than chemical means. It opens the door ... more Technique Controls Nanoparticle Size, Creates Large Numbers 
St. Louis MO (SPX) Dec 05, 2007In a world that constantly strives for bigger and bigger things, Washington University in St. Louis' Pratim Biswas, Ph.D., the Stifel and Quinette Jens Professor and chair of the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering, is working to make things smaller and smaller.
