A team of researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley have collaborated to develop an accurate method using pre-designed molecular building blocks for synthesizing graphene nanoribbons. The nanoribbons built using this process have position-dependent, tunable bandgaps and other enhanced properties that hold promise for advanced electronic circuitry.
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have succeeded in switching tiny, magnetic structures using laser light and tracking the change over time. In the process, a nanometre-sized area bizarrely reminiscent of the Batman logo appeared. The research results could render data storage on hard drives faster, more compact and more efficient.
An ultra-thin nanomaterial is at the heart of a major breakthrough by Waterloo scientists who are in a global race to invent a cheaper, lighter and more powerful rechargeable battery for electric vehicles.
Ju Li, the Battelle Energy Alliance Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and professor of materials science and engineering, has been named a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). Nominated by the Division of Materials Physics, Li was cited “for seminal work on understanding the fundamental properties of ultra-strength materials and formulating the concept of elastic strain engineering.”
Persistence Market Research has released a new report about the global nano-enabled packaging market. The report, titled ‘Global Market Study on Nano-Enabled Packaging For Food and Beverages: Intelligent Packaging to Witness Highest Growth by 2020’, predicts that the nano-enabled packaging market will enjoy a healthy CAGR of 12.7% during the report’s forecast period of 2014-2020, and will expand from its 2013 market value of US$6.5 billion to US$15 billion in 2020.
Nanoparticles, extremely tiny particles measured in billionths of a meter, are increasingly everywhere, and especially in biomedical products. Their toxicity has been researched in general terms, but now a team of Israeli scientists has for the first time found that exposure nanoparticles (NPs) of silicon dioxide (SiO2) can play a major role in the development of cardiovascular diseases when the NP cross tissue and cellular barriers and also find their way into the circulatory system.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) is pleased to announce that Prof Michael Altman, Head of the Department of Physics, was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). Upon recommendation of the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, Prof Altman was cited “for development and use of spin polarized low energy electron microscopy to understand surface processes of solids.”
SimySkin™ is pleased to announce the launch of its premier skincare line, which includes age-specific advanced scientific ingredients and formulations that correct, repair and reverse signs of aging.
Belgium based Europlasma, a global leader in low pressure plasma technology, is pleased to present at CES 2015 its nanocoating technology for the electronics industry under the Nanofics® brand name. Europlasma's Nanofics® technology is used worldwide by a renowned customer base for the coating of filtration products, functional textiles, medical devices and consumer electronics.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Nanoparticle Market Outlook 2020" report to their offering.
