An innovative method for fast and precise gene sequencing has been proposed by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Disruption: rupture or sudden interruption. Disruptive Innovation: is just what the Science Research Centre NanoGUNE has done, creating the NovaSpider 3D spinning machine, a breakthrough which is set to revolutionise the way nanofibres are produced. Why? Simple: because this machine enables the user to produce 3D structures based on state-of-the-art nanofibres in his/her own lab.
Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have solved a problem in micro- and nanofabrication -- how to quickly, gently and precisely handle tiny particles -- that will allow researchers to more easily build tiny machines, biomedical sensors, optical computers, solar panels and other devices.
A team of researchers, from the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics of National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a dual-layered nanowire that comprises a silicon (Si) shell and a germanium (Ge) core.
A research team from the University of Amsterdam's Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) has discovered a new method to achieve improved catalytic performance. In this method, self-assembled and functionalized nanospheres are used as ‘nanocentrators,’ enabling a very efficient catalytic conversion.
A team of researchers from Stanford University have constructed a one-of-a-kind lithium-ion battery capable of turning off and on according to the temperature.
University of Wyoming scientists headed by TeYu Chien, a UW assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, have found that applying voltage can alter the mechanical properties of nanomaterials.
Researchers at the University of Manchester have demonstrated that graphene could be used for filtering different isotopes of hydrogen, which could enable cleaning of nuclear waste and easier production of heavy water.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) and nine other European partners are collaborating in the design, scale-up and build of a high energy ball-mill (HEBM) pilot plant for the production and validation of innovative nanostructured powders. These advanced powders will be able to be used in a number of high value manufacturing applications such as cutting tools, medical implants and a range of aerospace and automotive components.
In the nanoworld, tiny particles of gold can operate like snow blowers, churning through surface layers of an important class of semiconductors to dig unerringly straight paths. The surprising trenching capability, reported by scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and IBM,* is an important addition to the toolkit of nature-supplied 'self-assembly' methods that researchers aim to harness for making useful devices.
