Utilization of nanomaterials very often requires their dispersion in various liquids, in order to enable embedding them homogenously in a device or in a final liquid product.

Biological Entities in Stabilization of Nanomaterials

Article - 23 Mar 2010

This article provides an introductory overview on the stabilization of nonmaterial by biological entities.

Conformation Activity Relationships - Why Do Molecules Change Shape?

Article - 14 Feb 2010

In Farfield, our work over the past decade has revolved around the direct measurement of the shape or conformation of biomolecules and how this changes as the biomolecules function.

Introduction, Application and Challenges of Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS)

Article - 13 Dec 2009

NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) have critical structural elements at or below 100 nm. This distinguishes them from MicroElectroMechancial Systems (MEMS), where the critical structural elements...

Nanostructured Materials for Permanent and Bioresorbable Medical Implants

Article - 22 Nov 2009

Contemporary development of metallic implant materials is driven by the biocompatibility requirements and also by the need for improved mechanical performance of biomedical implants.

Putting Plasma to Work - INL Scientist Using Plasma to Mass-Produce Nanoparticles

Article - 26 Oct 2009

Plasma is like a gas, but many of its atoms have been stripped of an electron or two. These positively charged atoms swim about in a crackling-hot sea of negatively charged loose electrons, making...

Detecting Changes in Cell Morphology Caused by Protein Aggregates of Mutant Huntingtin Using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Article - 22 Jun 2009

The high resolution imaging capability of AFM has recently facilitated the construction of atomic models of supramolecular assemblies from topographical images of photosynthetic proteins and channel...

Nanotechnology Led Changes To Manufacturing, Defence, Farming, Human Development and the Possibility of Large Scale Social Disruption As Predicted By The Friends of The Earth

Article - 9 Mar 2007

Like the industrial revolution, which took almost 50 years to come to fruition, the impact of nanotechnology is likely to be gradual and almost evolutionary until we find ourselves in the midst of...

Is Nanotechnology Rushing Into A Repeat Of The Biotechnology Backlash

Article - 27 Feb 2007

Nanotechnology is being commercialised outside of general public awareness or debate, without any serious attempt to involve the community in decision making about its introduction, and in the absence...

Nanoparticles and Nanotechnology - Classification, Properties, Hazards, and Toxicology

Article - 16 Aug 2006
