Producing three-dimensional polymer line structures as small as 65 nanometers wide just became easier with new two-photon absorbing molecules that are sensitive to laser light at short wavelengths, allowing researchers t...
Maren Roman is taking nanocrystal research to a new level that may lead to a new generation of vaccines and better computer printer ink.
The assistant professor in the wood science and forest products department of t...
Gene therapy - the idea of using genetic instructions rather than drugs to treat disease - has tickled scientists' imaginations for decades, but is not yet a viable therapeutic method. One sizeable hurdle is getting ...
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...
Scientists at the University of Illinois have fabricated the world's smallest chain-mail fabric. Combined with existing processing techniques, the flexible, metallic fabric holds promise for fully engineered smart te...
A new 8-page technical brochure is available from Viscotek - that describes its recently launched second generation Model 802 Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) instrument.
For those new to DLS the new brochure provides b...

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...
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. Even th...
The Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering have backed the key findings of the Council for Science and Technology’s (CST) report Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies Review published today (Wednesday 28 March 2...
FriCSo, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly technology and polymer-based devices that create a friction reduction nanolayer on moving parts, today announced that a test conducted by the Technio...

Researchers in Japan have developed a pair of molecular-scale scissors that open and close in response to light. The tiny scissors are the first example of a molecular machine capable of mechanically manipulating molecul...
The size, type, and dispersion of nanomaterials could all play a role in how these materials impact human health and the environment, according to two groups of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In new stu...
Nanometrics Incorporated announced today that it has appointed Bruce C. Rhine, an officer of the company and a member of the Board of Directors, to replace John D. Heaton as the company’s President and Chief Execut...
