Five projects have been approved by the Ben Franklin Technology Development Authority (BFTDA) for a University Research Commercialization Program grant to promote nanotechnology, advanced materials and energy research and development activities.
Researchers from Germany’s Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) have devised a novel technique to study individual proteins. A comprehensive understanding of protein dynamics is essential to study related molecular level biological processes. Normally, proteins are fluorescent-labeled for diagnosis; however this labeling may alter the protein structure hence impacting the biological processes that need to be studied.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health recently conducted a study to determine the effect of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles on testicular cells. They found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles caused comparatively lesser damage than silver nanoparticles.
Research and Markets has added a new book from Woodhead Publishing, titled "Nanocoatings and Ultra-thin Films: Technologies and Applications" to its portfolio.
The Argonne National Laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy has conducted two new studies, which revealed a novel method to investigate the properties of nanocrystalline-diamond thin films. This latest discovery can pave the way to enhance the performance of specific types of integrated circuits, and this enhancement can be achieved by minimizing the "thermal budget" of the integrated circuits.
A research team comprising scientists from the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories and Duke University has put forward a theory that the efficacy of wireless power transfer systems can be improved by increasing their inductive coupling through the integration of superlens, a lens made of artificially-structured metamaterials.
Professor Sotiris E. Pratsinis from the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, has been a visiting scientist at the Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE) since January 2012 and carries out fundamental research on nanoparticles.
The Department of Defense (DoD) has awarded a contract worth $1.38 million to QD Vision to develop prototype devices utilizing electroluminescent quantum dots.
A research team comprising Kirill Bolotin, A.K.M. Newaz, Sokrates Pantelides, Bin Wang and Yevgeniy Puzyev from the Vanderbilt University has confirmed that charged impurities present in graphene are the source of interference, and slow down the electron flow through the nanomaterial-based devices.
A research team from the Brown University has developed a triple-headed metallic nanoparticle catalyst for formic-acid fuel-cell reactions.
