More than half a million people in the European Union and a million in the United States suffer from disorders in or serious defects of some part of their bone structure. Operations involving grafts or implants, required...
Using a microscope and some extreme “snapshot” photography with shutter speeds only a few nanoseconds long, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Cornell University ha...
BioForce Nanosciences, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc., in January sold a Nano eNabler™ molecular printer to the University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland. The University P...
Nanometrics Incorporated, the leading supplier of both advanced integrated and standalone metrology equipment for the semiconductor and related industries, today announced the successful installation of its recently intr...
PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P., a leading manufacturer of nanopositioning and piezo-based precision motion-control equipment for biotechnology / nanotechnology, photonics and semiconductor applications offers a new ultra-h...
Industrial Nanotech, Inc., an emerging global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that its Nansulate® LDX lead encapsulation coating has been chosen for a commercial office project by Southern Environmental Ser...
The Council for Science and Technology—the British government’s top-level advisory body on science and technology issues—criticized the slow progress being made in providing needed support for focused r...
NanoOpto Corporation, which is applying novel design methods and proprietary nano-fabrication technology to produce a broad range of unique optical components that enable higher quality, low-cost optical components and s...
Appropriating cellulose fibers from cotton and crystallizing them, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have grown never-before-seen configurations of metal crystals that show promise as components in bios...
Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered that iron-containing nanoparticles being tested for use in several biomedical applications can be toxic to nerve cells and interfere with the formation of their signal-transmit...
At the root of scientific study are observations made with the eyes; yet in nanoscience, our eyes fail us.
The smallest object we can see still looms thousands of times larger than a typical nano-sized structure. Eve...
X-ray studies at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are pointing the way to less costly and more efficient catalysts for improving the performance of fuel cells. The studies, which w...
Virginia Tech researchers announced last year that they had created a nanostructured membrane that incorporates DNA base pairs in order to impart molecular recognition and binding ability to the synthetic material. This ...
Nanomechanical oscillators -- tiny strips of vibrating silicon only a few hundred atoms thick -- are the subject of extensive study by nanotechnology researchers. They could someday replace bulky quartz crystals in elect...
To the delight of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, living cells gobbled up fluorine-laced nanoparticles without needing any coaxing. Then, because of the unusual meal, the cells were ...
