A multi-disciplinary research, spanning several years has revealed that a new 3D sponge composed of carbon nanotubes was capable of promoting nerve fiber growth, linking separated neural explants and offering a practical reconnection.
A team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London’s (QMUL’s) School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, worked with UK industry to develop the first ever practical cloaking device, which enabled curved surfaces to look flat to electromagnetic waves. The material has nano-size particles, which help to enhance specific properties on the surface of the object, giving the material the ability to make an object disappear.
Leading manufacturer of plasma etch and deposition processing systems Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, recently won an order from Nanjing University of Post and Telecommunications, based in Nanjiang, Jiangsu, China for multiple plasma etch systems to be used for silicon and III-V etching.
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have genetically developed a new bacteria strain that creates thin, highly conductive wires using natural, non-toxic amino acids. The development has been published in the recent issue of the journal Small.
Recently, Nano Dimension Technologies filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to develop a new nanometric conductive ink based on a unique synthesis. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension Ltd., a leading developer and manufacturer in the 3D Printed Electronics domain.
A University of California, Irvine engineer has invented a method for analyzing nanowires at temperatures approaching 800 degrees Fahrenheit in first-ever experiments, showing the valuable role the materials could play in converting excess heat from machines and electronics into useable electricity.
A research team of Satoshi Ishii, MANA scientist, and Tadaaki Nagao, group leader, Nano-System Photonics Group, International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), NIMS, discovered through numerical calculations that nanoparticles of transition metal nitrides and carbides absorb sunlight very efficiently, and confirmed experimentally that nitride nanoparticles, when dispersed in water, quickly raise water temperature. These nanoparticles may be applied for heating and distillation of water through efficient sunlight use.
Unlike classical crystals, quasicrystals do not comprise periodic units, even though they do have a superordinate structure. The formation of the fascinating mosaics that they produce is barely understood.
Carbon nanotubes attract a lot of interest in diverse fields such as nanomechanics, photonics, electronics, and quantum optics, as they can be manufactured in a number of properties and shapes, and used in numerous applications. It is important for researchers to have an instrument that could establish these properties in a fast and precise manner.
Researcher Baratunde Cola wants to add “sand” into computers in order to cool them. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer, which would provide improved cooling at a low cost for high-energy electronic devices.
