Elucidating structural parameters of nanomaterials will be the hot topic at the upcoming workshop ‘X-ray Scattering Methods for Characterization of Nano-Materials’, to be held on December 3, 2010 during the M...
Researchers have uncovered a fundamental link between the two defining properties of quantum physics. Stephanie Wehner of Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies and the National University of Singapore and Jonathan Oppenheim of the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge published their work today in the latest edition of the journal Science.
Cerulean Pharma Inc., a leader in designing and developing nanopharmaceuticals, today announced that the Company’s senior executives presented at the 22nd EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on “Molecular Targets and Ca...
In the past 40 years, scientists have learned a great deal about how cells become cancerous. Some of that knowledge has translated to new treatments, but most of the time doctors are forced to rely on standard chemotherapy and radiation, which can do nearly as much damage to the patients as they do to the tumors. This series looks at targeted treatments that are on the horizon, and what needs to be done to make them a reality.
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, today announced that they are working with a major California power company to use the Company&rsqu...

"Our mission is to support the global quest for energy solutions with this dedicated new journal," says Deputy Editor of Advanced Materials, Dr. Martin Ottmar. "The Advanced journals family is the ideal en...
Since graphene was first isolated in 2004 with the help of Scotch tape, researchers have excitedly turned to the material to discover its potential applications. A single layer of carbon atoms whose applications range from ultrafast electronics to biosensors to flexible displays, graphene is strong, light, transparent, and a conductor of heat and electricity.
Magnolia Solar Corporation ("Magnolia Solar") announced today that Professor Zhong Lin (Z. L.) Wang, Distinguished Professor and Director, Center for Nanostructure Characterization at Georgia Tech, has joined i...
Clean water is a constant concern for third world countries and nanotechnology may provide a solution. The problem is solved by using a teabag shaped and sized filter which is used as a sieve for the water.
