CNF and CNSE’s STC Partner to Assist Small Companies in Manufacture of MEMS Systems

It’s a common peril for many small companies that make circuits, sensors or other devices: Making a handful in a few days – no problem – but how are they going to make a million of them in a month?

Graphene Allows Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes to Grow on Diamonds

What may be the ultimate heat sink is only possible because of yet another astounding capability of graphene. The one-atom-thick form of carbon can act as a go-between that allows vertically aligned carbon nanotubes to grow on nearly anything.

Spherical Nanoparticles Form Netlike Structures When Encountered by Cancerous Tumors

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have designed tiny spherical particles to float easily through the bloodstream after injection, then assemble into a durable scaffold within diseased tissue. An enzyme produced by a specific type of tumor can trigger the transformation of the spheres into netlike structures that accumulate at the site of a cancer, the team reports in the journal Advanced Materials this week.

Nano-Scale Analysis Explains Difference between Glass and Molten Materials

Many solids are produced from melting. Depending on how quickly they cool off, invariably, internal tensile stresses begin to build up. One example are Prince Rupert's Drops, or Dutch tears: you can hit their thick end with a hammer without breaking them while a slight pressure applied to their thin end is enough to shatter the entire tear.

Study Evaluates Impact of Nanotechnology Innovation for Improving Electric Vehicle Li-ion Batteries

Lithium (Li-ion) batteries used to power plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles show overall promise to “fuel” these vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but there are areas for improvement to reduce possible environmental and public health impacts, according to a “cradle to grave” study of advanced Li-ion batteries recently completed by Abt Associates for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
