Silver nanoparticles are well known for their anti-bacteria properties. One of the main routes by which they may act as an anti-bacteria agent, is through attaching themselves to the thiol group present on the cellular membrane surface and hence disrupting the membrane's function.
RMIT University researchers have brought ultra-fast, nano-scale data storage within striking reach, using technology that mimics the human brain.
Through the National Science Foundation’s Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, Penn State has been awarded $4 million over the next four years to lead two teams of investigators and support members of a third team in the new field of 2D crystals and layered materials.
On September 16th, the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan signed an exclusive license agreement with Taiwan Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (President: Takeshi Hiraiwa), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (President & CEO: Tsutomu Tannowa), allowing it to manufacture and distribute ITRI’s STOBA™, the world’s only technology to prevent hazardous lithium-ion battery (LIB) thermal runaway which can lead to explosions and fires.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles" report to their offering.
Researchers may soon have a better idea of how tiny particles of pollution are formed in the atmosphere. These particles, called aerosols, or particulate matter (PM), are hazardous to human health and contribute to climate change, but researchers know little about how their properties are shaped by chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Unraveling this chemistry could someday lead to more effective policies to protect human health and the Earth’s climate.
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the publication of new content on graphene and materials science, including Graphene: Properties, Preparation, Characterisation and Devices by Viera Skakalova and Alan Kaiser. Carbon nanotubes, graphene and nanomaterials are emerging and increasingly important materials with many applications in medicine, computing, optics, energy and materials science.
NJIT Distinguished Professor Somenath Mitra, Ph.D., whose pioneering research has spanned a spectrum of applications for carbon nanotechnology that address critical quality-of-life issues, will receive the seventh annual Board of Overseers Excellence in Research Prize and Medal on Oct. 2, 2014.
One of the most common complaints about solar power is solar panels are still too expensive to be worth the investment. Many researchers have responded by making solar cells, the tile-like components of solar panels that absorb and transfer energy, more efficient and longer lasting.
At the Center for Innovation, Research and Development in Engineering and Technology (CIIDIT), from the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL) on the PIIT in the North of Mexico, nanocomposites have been developed for the economical production of instruments directed to the metalworking industry in the region.
