Hidden fingerprints can be now be revealed quickly and reliably thanks to two developments in nanotechnology.
The news is reported in the latest edition of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Chemical Communication...
A new nanoscale apparatus developed at JILA - a tiny gold beam whose 40 million vibrations per second are measured by hopping electrons - offers the potential for a 500-fold increase in the speed of scanning tunneling mi...
Micro-electro-mechanical systems, popularly referred to as MEMS, in small electronic devices often fail because of adhesion and stiction – the attractive force between the surfaces of interacting parts. University ...
The Knowledge Foundation announced today announced the complete Program for the 10th Biodetection Technologies Conference which will be held in Atlanta, GA from June 14-15, 2007. With an emphasis on rapid detection and l...
A new monobloc assembly on the Hiden Analytical HPR-30 series of process gas analysers provides twin conductance paths allowing base pressure measurements and process measurements with the same configuration. Advanced co...
The Centre of Excellence in Metrology for Micro and Nano Technologies (CEMMNT) celebrates its official launch on Wednesday, 2 May 2007, at the Systems Engineering Innovation Centre (SEIC) in Loughborough. This national e...
Future microscopic-sized machines assembled with micrometer or nanometer-scale parts will need to be made with devices that use tiny, agile "fingers" that can grip, lift and do the assembly work in a controlled...
Growing concern over climate change driven by man-made carbon emissions is prompting governments world wide to look at ways of stabilizing or reducing their carbon footprint. The United Kingdom has unveiled plans to set ...
Industrial Nanotech has announced the signing of the Al Samah Company as its exclusive distributor in the United Arab Emirates, one of the world's largest oil producers. Al Samah Company is headquartered in Abu Dhabi...
Nano Chemical Systems has announced their latest entry into the $1 billion automotive appearance chemical category, TiO2, a "nano-enhanced" automotive protectant. Unlike other automotive protectants, TiO2 (tita...

The problem of efficiently delivering drugs, especially those that are hydrophobic or water-repellant, to tumors or other disease sites has long challenged scientists to develop innovative delivery systems that keep thes...
Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique (CNRS/University Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in detail in ...
Electrons love to zip around metals such as copper, especially if the metal is cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. But if they encounter a magnetic atom (say, iron) during their travels, the electrons will try to ...
