This can greatly modify the electronic properties of the graphite and can lead to interesting phenomena, for example, superconductivity. 5/19/2011 1:33:02 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12089 Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have conducted experiments confirming which of three possible mechanisms is responsible for the spontaneous formation of three-dimensional (3-D) pillar arrays in nanofilms (polymer films that are billionths of a meter thick). 5/19/2011 1:30:14 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12088 The ability to image single biological molecules in a living cell is something that has long eluded researchers; however, a novel technique, using the structure of diamond, may well be able to do this and potentially provide a tool for diagnosing, and eventually developing a treatment for, hard-to-cure diseases such as cancer 5/19/2011 1:28:55 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12087 Engineers at Brown University and in India have a promising new approach to treating heart-attack victims. The researchers created a nanopatch with carbon nanofibers and a polymer. 5/19/2011 1:26:15 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12086 Researchers from the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine have found that inhaled carbon black nanoparticles create a double source of inflammation in the lungs. 5/19/2011 1:24:21 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12085 Scientists from NPL, in collaboration with Linköping University, Sweden, have shown that regions of graphene of different thickness can be easily identified in ambient conditions using Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM). 5/19/2011 1:22:29 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12084 Bio-SANS probes "disease-relevant" peptide at tenths of billionths of a meter 5/19/2011 1:18:55 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12083 The humble alga, hated by boaters and pool owners, may someday help provide us with the raw machinery to power our appliances. 5/19/2011 1:05:19 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12082 A UCF scientist specializing in nanotechnology has earned a national award and is a contender for a new kind of 'Nobel Prize' for sustainability. 5/19/2011 1:04:23 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12081 Two-dimensional graphene may lead to faster electronics, stronger spacecraft and much more. 5/19/2011 1:01:59 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12080 As a resist member of SEMATECH’s lithography program, FUJIFILM will collaborate with SEMATECH engineers on critical resist issues in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. 5/19/2011 12:57:50 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12079 Luna and Hansen will continue to integrate shape sensing technology and medical robotics 5/19/2011 12:56:35 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12078 Hundreds of scientists in the Netherlands make use of the national supercomputing facility Huygens at SARA to tackle important scientific and societal challenges like climate change, water management, improvement of medical care, nanotechnology and green energy. 5/19/2011 12:51:22 PM http://nanotechwire.com/news.asp?nid=12077 A Toledo, Ohio, physicist has implemented a new mathematical approach that accelerates some complex computer calculations used to simulate the formation of micro-thin materials. 5/18/2011 10:29:07 AM
