Researchers have developed a unique system used for detecting & analyzing molecules with high precision & without using any bulky equipment.
The global nanotechnology market is expected to reach $174bn by 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18%.
Using solar energy to convert water into hydrogen (H2) through photocatalysis is believed to be an attractive method for producing H2.
In the recent years, graphene has most definitely been the most prominent research subject of nanotechnology. Composed of pure carbon, this astonishing material is ideally easy to produce: taking normal graphite and peeling a layer using a Scotch tape. The material obtained this way is two-dimensional, with distinctive characteristics, varying from those of three-dimensional materials.
A collaborative team of researchers from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Northwestern University in the United States have developed a new method to see if heavy wound scars are forming and to give doctors a chance to check it.
Nanoscale holes in graphene (termed as "nanowindows") are different from the windows of a house, and can selectively choose the type of air molecules that can pass through.
According to a new study, waste heat can be changed to electricity more efficiently using one-dimensional atomically thin nanowires.
MIT physicists have developed a new method that could someday provide a way to customize multilayered nanoparticles with preferred properties, potentially for use in cloaking systems, displays, or biomedical devices. It may also help physicists handle a range of thorny research issues, in ways that could in certain cases be orders of magnitude faster than present approaches.
Northwestern University researchers have developed a unique blueprint design to construct new heterostructures using different types of 2D materials.
It is paramount to understand a material’s microscopic structure in order to understand how it works and its functional properties. Developments in fields like materials science have progressively boosted abilities to establish these features to even higher resolutions.
The conventional techniques and materials used for fabricating advanced integrated circuits are heading toward, or have likely already reached, their utmost physical restrictions with respect to the size of the final product.
For years, art lovers have been enchanted with paintings by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Johannes Vermeer. However, it was found that the canvases they were painted on can deteriorate eventually, possibly making these paintings their own worst enemy.
In an attempt to create stronger fabrication materials, scientists have been focusing on nanoscale structures found in nature, and one particular team recently announced the development of a material based on cellulose that is stronger than steel.
