Researchers from the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Materials Science, MSU along with foreign colleagues discovered that two-dimensional (2D) sheets of cadmium telluride are capable of naturally folding into nanoscrolls. This effect may be used in photonics and electronics.
A new technique has been formulated to make drugs 'smarter' with the use of nanotechnology so that delivery of drug to the target area will be more effective.
A collaborative study has demonstrated that cautiously structured light and matching arrangements of metal nanostructures, or “plasmonic oligomers,” can be blended to change the properties of the generated light at the nanoscale.
A paper published in the Science journal on April 20, 2018, describes an astonishing finding by an international team of researchers that diamond, the hardest known naturally occurring material in the world, is also flexible when formed into nanoscale needles.
Stanford researchers have found out that an experiment that, by virtue of design, was not expected to give any notable results instead led to a “bewildering” surprise: a new methodology for producing gold nanoparticles and nanowires with the help of water droplets.
Researchers at The University of Manchester and Shandong University in China have developed a nanoscale transistor that will be one step closer to enabling the creation of flexible televisions, phones, and tablets as well as ‘truly wearable’ smart tech.
The so-called grow monsters or expandable water toys are nothing but plastic-like figurines with the ability to expand upon being placed in water.
Each year, in the US, about 70% of the energy produced is wasted as heat. At present, engineers have designed a thin-film system that can be fitted to such sources of waste heat to generate energy at levels never before achieved for this type of technology.
The Project Advanced materials company, First Graphene Limited is pleased to advise it has entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding with SupremeSAT (Private) Ltd for the development of graphene enhanced componentry for SupremeSAT’s Miniature Satellite Assembly Project.
Mahr and NanoFocus, the German manufacturer of 3D surface metrology, have signed a cooperation agreement. In May of 2018, Mahr will be offering confocal microscopes from NanoFocus as the new Mahr product family “Ma...
A research team has been successful in using atomic force microscopy to attain images of separate impurity atoms in graphene ribbons. As a result of the forces measured in the graphene’s 2D carbon lattice, they could identify nitrogen and boron for the first time.
Researchers from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) were successful in describing with atomic detail how molecules are moved through biological membranes. Spectroscopic experiments and computer simulations provided understanding into the work of so-called ABC transporters.
Researchers have now developed uniformly nanoporous graphene as part of a national research collaboration in Spain. A significant step in graphene research, it will help us to explore the full potential of the material in electronics, filtration and sensing applications.
