Engineers at The University of Texas at Dallas have used advanced techniques to make the material graphene small enough to read DNA.
Nanobiotix announced today a collaboration with key European nanomedicine players which is funded by the European Commission. This strong partnership of relevant stakeholders aims to identify key areas of nanomedicine with novel concepts for translation of nanomedical innovations into clinical practice. The project called “Nanomed2020” started on 1st September 2012 and has a duration of 18 months.
Wheeling High School, a recognized Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, announced today that Dr. WeonBae Ko, a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Sahmyook University in Seoul, South Korea, and the leader of the Korean Nanotechnology Researchers Society's Nanotechnology Education Committee, will give a presentation on the state of nanotechnology education in South Korea at its upcoming NANO Connect forum.
Sand 9, Inc., a pioneer in precision MEMS timing products for wireless and wired applications, today announced that it has partnered with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to support high-volume manufacturing for Sand 9 products.
Researchers at Rice University are designing transparent, two-terminal, three-dimensional computer memories on flexible sheets that show promise for electronics and sophisticated heads-up displays.
A technique that uses acoustic waves to sort cells on a chip may create miniature medical analytic devices that could make Star Trek's tricorder seem a bit bulky in comparison, according to a team of researchers.
A team of scientists, led by Joachim Reichert, Johannes Barth, and Alexander Holleitner (Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Clusters of Excellence MAP and NIM), and Itai Carmeli (Tel Aviv University) developed a method to measure photocurrents of a single functionalized photosynthetic protein system.
NJIT Research Professor Reginald C. Farrow, PhD, who with his research team have discovered how to make nanoscale arrays of the world's smallest probe for investigating the electrical properties of individual living, cells will receive on Oct. 4, 2012 the NJIT Board of Overseers Excellence in Research Prize and Medal. Larger electrical probes have been extremely important in understanding these properties, as indicated by the Nobel Prizes awarded to the inventors of two previous generations of probes.
In the field of nanotechnology, electrically-charged particles are frequently used as tools for surface modification. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the TU Vienna were at last able to reconcile important issues concerning the effects of highly charged ions on surfaces.
Building on Governor Andrew Cuomo’s NY-SUN initiative and energy superhighway blueprint, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany announced today that it has entered into a licensing agreement with its first student spin-off company, B.E.S.S. Technologies (B.E.S.S.), which will allow B.E.S.S. to commercialize and begin scale-up of its innovative battery storage technology, enabling homegrown high-tech growth in upstate New York.
Oxford Instruments launch their new website - an ideal hi-tech showcase for their hi-tech products and services. This is the sixth iteration of the website since the original launch in 1996.
The 15th European Microscopy Congress - emc2012 - held at Manchester Central in September, was the largest yet in the series. It attracted 1,714 registered Conference Delegates. This is a 30% increase on 2008.
A research team led by Professors Gabriel Popescu and Lynford Goddard from the University of Illinois has developed an inexpensive technique using a special kind of microscope to etch delicate features on the surface of semiconductors, while simultaneously monitoring the entire process in real time with nanoscale resolution.

Researchers consider quantum dots to hold great potential for technological applications. The nanoscale semiconductor materials are easy to synthesize and their behavior is akin to that of single atoms. In order to capitalize on the unique properties of quantum dots, it is essential to understand the behavior of electrons contained inside quantum dots.
