Making accurate biomolecular structures at small scales is significant to the advancement of nanotechnology and other related fields. Traditionally, this has been accomplished by using rubber stamps with small features that are enclosed with molecular "inks" and later stamping onto substrate surfaces to produce a molecular pattern. However, molecules tend to disperse on the surface during and after the process of stamping and blur the patterns.
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory research team has successfully grown epitaxial thin films with minimal defects. These films are used in fabrication of semiconductors and in nanotechnology applications. The researchers have discovered an elusive strain relaxation phenomenon in cobaltites which may lead to better energy-related materials, fuel cells, and magnetic sensors.
Market research solutions provider, Research and Markets, has published a new report titled, "Nanotechnology Market in India 2012 – Update.” Nanotechnology refers to that realm of nanoscience that deals with not only applications of nanoscience but also includes the engineering involved in the modification and manipulation of materials at the nano level to obtain the desired structure.
