MIPT scientists have performed ultra-precise evaluations of the optical constants of extremely thin gold films with thicknesses of 20-200 billionths of a meter in the optical range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A team of researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Bedfordshire, in partnership with multinational company ABB, have developed and tested a series of plasmonic nanoantenna arrays that could lead to the creation of a new generation of ultrasensitive and economical fluorescence sensors that could be used to monitor the quality of water.
Scientists at Rice University suggest that it is best to start with long nanotubes in order to make continuous, conductive and strong carbon nanotube fibers.
Bruker has released the NanoMechanics Lab™, a suite of force-mapping modes that enable Dimension FastScan® and Icon® AFM systems to perform quantitative nanoscale characterization, extending from soft hydrogels and polymers to stiff metals and ceramics.
Nanopore technology is generally used for DNA sequencing. It provides a portable, low-cost solution and works both in the jungle and in space. Now, this technology could potentially be used to identify proteins or peptides. Scientists from the University of Groningen have used a patented nanopore technology to detect the fingerprints of peptides and proteins.
Envision is a nano-sized anti-cancer drug capable of destroying a breast tumor without damaging the surrounding tissue. Or imagine a self-healing skin graft developed from nanomaterials that treat the wounds of those with diabetes. These two biomedical technologies alone could be capable of greatly improving the quality of life for patients and saving millions in healthcare costs for Canadians.
An innovative study performed by researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has shown that the electrostatic charge that makes hair stand on end and attaches balloons to clothing can be efficiently used to drive futuristic atomically thin electronic memory devices.
On Tuesday 26th September, Powder Systems Limited (PSL) hosted the 2017 Microsphere Summit at the prestigious Shilla Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.
In the future, the procedure of blowing into the tube will not just be used by police checking for alcohol intoxication, but it will also be applied for testing the condition of athletes and for people wanting to lose that extra bit of weight. ETH researchers have developed a sensor that allows carrying out measurements when the body begins to burn fat with a convenient breathalyzer.
Researchers have developed gold nanoparticles that can be coated to monitor the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels inside the human body, where the size of the nanoparticles is not more than 100 nm.
Scientists in Germany are attempting to build the world’s smallest particle accelerator – and it is going to be so small that it fits on a microchip.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego are heading a project that aims at developing high-density nanowire arrays capable of being used for measuring and controlling multiple individual cells in huge networks.
Amazon Filters has supplied a leading speciality ink manufacturer with SupaPleat II cartridge filters to ensure the high quality of the UV curing inks they supply through their own sales channels and to third parties selling inkjet printing systems.
Researchers at Rice University have investigated deeply into atom-thick catalysts that create hydrogen to pinpoint precisely where it is coming from. Their findings could speed-up the development of 2D materials for energy applications, such as fuel cells.
With research headed by University of Queensland bioscience experts and funding provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the efforts to rid the world of polio have indeed taken another major step.
