Veeco Instruments has announced that it will host the "Seeing at the Nanoscale V" conference at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), June 24-27, 2007. Celebrating its fifth year, the conference p...
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...
If you could paint a gallon of paint one nanometer thick, how much area could you cover?
The surprising answer-about 930 acres, or slightly larger than New York's Central Park-certainly makes fun trivia fodder.

Scientists are able to view active molecules within a biological motor of the nanometer scale with the help of a new imaging system far more sensitive and powerful than existing optical microscopes.
A Purdue Universi...
University of Florida engineering student Maria Palazuelos is working on nanotechnology, but she's not seeking a better sunscreen, tougher golf club or other product - the focus of many engineers in the field.
Ins...
One of the biggest hurdles facing the nanotechnology industry is the lack of knowledge in testing for potential hazards to health and environmental impact, according to the director of a Texas Technology Center that focu...
Nano Chemical Systems has announced that it has filed a US Patent application on a breakthrough new material that exhibits light (luminescent) in the absence of heat. This Nano-enhanced material sets a new standard for h...
Researchers at the Centre for Material Development and Structural Studies in Toulouse (CEMES-CNRS) and their colleagues at the Free University of Berlin have, for the first time, managed to control the rotation of a whee...
BioForce Nanosciences has announced that it exceeded its 2006 goal for shipping up to 20 of its cutting-edge Nano eNabler molecular printers to prestigious institutions across the globe. BioForce exceeded its goal by two...
Sun Microsystems, Inc. has announced that the newly opened London Centre of Nanotechnology (LCN) and the Bio-Nano Centre (BNC), funded by the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) and London Development Agency (LDA), ...
A new nanotechnology that can examine single molecules in order to determine gene expression, paving the way for scientists to more accurately examine single cancer cells, has been developed by an interdisciplinary team ...
A team of UCLA and California Institute of Technology chemists reports in the Jan. 25 issue of the journal Nature the successful demonstration of a large-scale, "ultra-dense" memory device that stores informati...
The layers of mucus that protect sensitive tissue throughout the body have an undesirable side effect: they can also keep helpful medications away. To overcome this hurdle, Johns Hopkins researchers have found a way to c...
Researchers at UC Davis have created a new type of nanoparticles that could be used in tests for environmental pollution or contamination of food products, and for medical diagnostics.
The particles, about 100 to 200 ...
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have married bright fluorescent dye molecules with DNA nanostructure templates to make nanosized fluorescent labels that hold considerable promise for studying fundamental chemical a...
