Controlling and bending light around an object so it appears invisible to the naked eye is the theory behind fictional invisibility cloaks.
According to a new report published by Transparency Market Research, "Nanocoatings Market (Anti-fingerprint, Anti-microbial, Anti-fouling & Easy-to-clean, Self-cleaning and Others) for Medical & Healthcare, Food Manufacturing, Packaging, Marine, Water Treatment, Electronics, Building & Construction, Automotive, Energy and Other End-user Industries: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019", the global demand for the nanocoatings was valued at USD 1.45 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 6.75 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 24.7% between 2013 and 2019.
Nanotechnology and Functional Materials, Uppsala University have developed a paper filter, which can remove virus particles with the efficiency matching that of the best industrial virus filters. The paper filter consists of 100 percent high purity cellulose nanofibers, directly derived from nature.
Objects with sizes in the nanometer range, such as the molecular building blocks of living cells or nanotechnological devices, are continuously exposed to random collisions with surrounding molecules. In such fluctuating environments the fundamental laws of thermodynamics that govern our macroscopic world need to be rewritten.
Thousands of consumer products containing engineered nanoparticles — microscopic particles found in everyday items from cosmetics and clothing to building materials — enter the market every year. Concerns about possible environmental health and safety issues of these nano-enabled products continue to grow with scientists struggling to come up with fast, cheap, and easy-to-use cellular screening systems to determine possible hazards of vast libraries of engineered nanomaterials.
Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have improved the performance and capacity of lithium batteries by developing better-performing, cheaper materials for use in anodes and cathodes (negative and positive electrodes, respectively).
Polymer materials are usually thermal insulators. But by harnessing an electropolymerization process to produce aligned arrays of polymer nanofibers, researchers have developed a thermal interface material able to conduct heat 20 times better than the original polymer. The modified material can reliably operate at temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius.

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Metal Oxide Nanopowder Trends" report to their offering.
Nanowire systems: technology and design, a paper conducted by the researchers from the Integrated Systems Laboratory (LSI), headed by Prof. Giovanni De Micheli, has been published in the Royal Society journal, Philosophical Transactions A, which focuses on cutting-edge topics across the physical sciences. The journal is essential reading for mathematicians, physicists, engineers and other physical scientists.
