A new chapter has been opened in our understanding of the chemical activity of nanoparticles says a team of international scientists. Using the X-ray beams of The European Synchrotron (ESRF) they showed that the electrons absorbed and released by cerium dioxide nanoparticles during chemical reactions behave in a completely different way than previously thought: the electrons are not bound to individual atoms but, like a cloud, distribute themselves over the whole nanoparticle.
When an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, knocking out emergency power supplies, crews sprayed seawater on the reactors to cool them — to no avail.
As reported in New Scientist, scientists at the Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College London have found that vibrations, like those caused by pop and rock music, improve the performance of solar cells. Their study 'Acoustic Enhancement of Polymer/ZnO Nanorod Photovoltaic Device Performance' has been published in the journal Advanced Materials.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Nanomaterials for Solar Cells, Displays, Sensors, Lighting and RFID Market Analyses and Driving Forces" report to their offering.
Nanum Nanotecnologia S.A., a Brazilian Company, is pleased to announce that it is supplying functionalized, water-based high concentrated magnetic dispersion that HP manufactures into its proprietary magnetic ink for the use with HP Inkjet Web Presses and other commercial and industrial MICR applications.
The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is pleased to announce its 2013 AAPS Fellows. AAPS Fellows are granted the honor each year for making sustained remarkable scholarly and research contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences such as original articles, scientific presentations at AAPS Annual Meetings, and/or patents.
Clay – a seemingly infertile blend of minerals – might have been the birthplace of life on Earth. Or at least of the complex biochemicals that make life possible, Cornell biological engineers report in the Nov. 7 online issue of the journal Scientific Reports, published by Nature Publishing.
California Nanotechnologies Corp ("Cal Nano" and "CNO") is pleased to announce the Company's largest order to date. These components will be utilized by adidas in their flagship commercial product line, the adiZero Prime SP track spike, which has become known worldwide as the lightest commercially available track and field shoe. This order is over three times the size of previous orders for this product and will generate revenue for the Company of over $89,000 US ($92,900 CAD).
Nano Labs is pleased to announce the Company has amended and updated the patent for the Company's next-generation coating (previously announced on November 13, 2012).
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) issued new recommendations on Nov. 8 for controlling worker exposures to engineered nanomaterials during the manufacture and industrial use of those materials. The recommendations are based on technologies now applied in the various industries that use nanomaterials, and on control methods that have been shown to be effective in reducing occupational exposures in other industries.
