Research and Markets has included a new report titled ‘The Global Market for Zinc Oxide Nanopowders 2012’ to its database.
A team of international scientists led by Juan J. de Pablo, a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has discovered that the manipulation of liquid crystals at the nanoscale can make the molecules they interact to self-assemble, thus paving the way to develop innovative materials with novel properties.

Strong metals have a tendency to be less ductile — unless the metal happens to be a peculiar form of copper known as nanotwinned copper. The crystal structure of nanotwinned copper exhibits many closely-spaced interruptions in an otherwise regular atomic array. These interruptions, despite being termed ‘defects’, actually increase the metal’s strength without reducing its ductility, making it attractive for applications such as semiconductor devices and thin film coatings. However, the relationship between the properties of these defects and those of the metals containing defects remains unclear.
Using a refined technique for trapping and manipulating nanoparticles, researchers at NIST have extended the trapped particles' useful life more than tenfold.
