MEMS Industry Group (MIG) will gather the world's leading providers of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensors technology for its second annual MEMS Industry Group® Conference Asia in Shanghai, China on September 8-11, 2015.
Microtubules, hollow fibers of tubulin protein only a few nanometers in diameter, form the cytoskeletons of living cells and play a crucial role in cell division (mitosis) through their ability to undergo rapid growth and shrinkage, a property called “dynamic instability.”

Researchers at UMass Medical School (UMMS) have successfully developed light-emitting nanocrystals that could help advance non-invasive bioimaging technologies. These nanocrystals would enable utilization of persistent luminescence nanoparticles for bioimaging applications in the clinic, and in research laboratories. This would allow functional and structural biological processes in patients and in living animals to be evaluated.

Omni Nano is honored to announce a partnership with Time Warner Cable's (TWC) Connect a Million Minds initiative to educate our youth about nanotechnology and opportunities in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers.
A new phenomenon in which flow of electricity completely changes with odd and even numbers of junctions
Loads of cosmetics like sunscreen lotions contain titanium dioxide. These nanoparticles are contentious. Experts suspect they may have harmful effects on people and the environment. But it is difficult to prove that the particles are in the lotions. Using a method developed by Fraunhofer researchers, the particles can now be calculated.
A vaccine containing virus-like nanoparticles, or microscopic, genetically engineered particles, is an effective treatment for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), according to researchers at Georgia State University.
Nano Dimension, a leading printing electronics company in the area of 3D printing, announced yesterday that Nano Dimension Technologies, a fully owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension, is collaborating with a Fortune 100 company to investigate the suitability of 3D printed electronics technology.
Nanotechnology could one day provide an inhaled vehicle to deliver targeted therapeutic genes for those suffering from life-threatening lung disorders. Researchers may have discovered first gene delivery system that efficiently penetrates the hard-to-breach human airway mucus barrier of lung tissue.
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading company for innovative and top-quality high-tech products in the healthcare, life science and performance materials sectors, announced today, together with the US-based com...
A team of researchers headed by Prof. Silke Christiansen from the Institute of Nanoarchitectures for Energy Conversion at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has created a novel transparent electrode capable of high electrical conductivity for solar cells and other optoelectronic components with limited material. The electrode is made up of an irregular network of silver nanowires coated with aluminium-doped zinc oxide.
A team of researchers headed by Yoke Khin Yap, a Professor of Physics at Michigan Technological University, has worked to create digital switches by integrating graphene and boron nitride nanotubes.
Nanoscale worlds sometimes resemble macroscale roller-coaster style hills, placed at the tip of a series of hexagons. Surprisingly, these nanohills stem from the self-organisation of particles - the very particles that have been eroded and subsequently redeposited following the bombardment of semi-conductors with ion beams.
