Researchers from UPM have used a technique that made popular the silk from Murcia in the 19th century. The new material can be used for regenerative medicine.
Researchers from Cornell University have synthesized a new thin-film catalyst for use in fuel cells. In a paper published March 10 in the journal APL Materials, from AIP Publishing, the team reports the first-ever epitaxial thin-film growth of Bi2Pt2O7 pyrochlore, which could act as a more effective cathode -- a fundamental electrode component of fuel cells from which positive current flows through an external circuit delivering electric power.
The increased use of engineered nanoparticles (ENMs) in commercial and industrial applications is raising concern over the environmental and health effects of nanoparticles released into the water supply. A timely study that analyzes the ability of typical water pretreatment methods to remove titanium dioxide, the most commonly used ENM, is published in Environmental Engineering Science, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Environmental Engineering Science website until April 10, 2015.
BASF Corporation and Seashell Technology, a leading nanotechnology company based in San Diego, announced today that BASF has acquired Seashell's technology, patents and know-how for silver nanowires. The acquisition extends BASF's portfolio of solutions offered to the display industry through the company's growing Electronic Materials unit.
A frequency comb source is a light source with a spectrum containing thousands of laser lines. The development of these sources has been revolutionary for fundamental science. It has allowed the construction of a link between the optical part of the electromagnetic spectrum and the radio frequency part. As such, it has allowed researchers to determine optical frequencies with an unprecedented precision.
The directors and management of N1 Technologies Inc. have filed a patent for a bio-based non-petroleum motor oil. The company has taken renewable plant oils and added Tungsten and Carbon Nanotubes to the oil blend.

Cima NanoTech, a leading smart materials manufacturer of next-generation transparent conductors, is showcasing an ultra responsive 42-inch projected capacitive (pro-cap) interactive digital signage, enabled by the company’s highly conductive SANTE® FS200, at DSE 2015. The demo was built with Cima NanoTech’s touch module in collaboration with Amdox digital signage manufacturer, Amdolla Group, and solutions partner, TouchMedia Pte Ltd; all 3 companies will be at DSE 2015.
Are cellulose nanocrystals harmful to human health? The answer might depend on the route of exposure, according to a review of the literature by a Virginia Tech scientist, but there have been few studies and many questions remain.
Researchers in South Korea have, for the first time, developed a simple technique to produce a two-dimensional nitrogen-containing crystal that has the capacity to be a potential rival to graphene and silicon as semi-conductor materials.
Phenom-World is proud to announce the Phenom XL, an addition to the highly successful Phenom desktop SEM product family. The Phenom XL is the world’s first desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that allows full imaging of samples up to 100 mm x 100 mm.
