ATLANTA -- Younan Xia, Ph.D., an internationally recognized leader in the field of nanotechnology, recently joined the Georgia Institute of Technology as the first Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) Eminent Scholar in Nanomedicine.…

'Sub-Bragg diffraction' is what researchers at the Complex Photonic Systems group of the University of Twente's MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology call their surprising observations. An 'energy dip' can also occur when reflection takes place in regular ...…

This article is now in our archive, and is only available to paying subscribers to Environmental Finance. This new multi-author report sets out views from experts in a range of different disciplines on why climate risk reporting is so important.…

This research is described in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. Mahler says the researchers will now use the in vitro and chicken models to study nanoparticles found in food to determine whether these, too, affect iron uptake.…

The team has developed the first physical illustration of 'lumped' optical circuit elements using nanotechnology. An illustration of an array of silicon nitrite nanorods. The entire array is about half a millimeter long. The physical demonstration is a ...…

Scientists from IBM Research in Zurich, Switzerland, published a paper in Nature Nanotechnology today that describes a technique for measuring how electrons move when forming molecular bonds. This method allows them to create images of how the electric ...…

Developed at the university's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, the material is made up of carbon nanotubes, tiny tube-shaped materials made of carbon, which are held in flexible plastic fibers and made to feel like fabric.…

Application of nanotechnology in integrated circuits is leading to improvements in processor density and performance, energy efficiency and reliability. Intel is currently utilising an atomic layer deposition process to deposit high-k materials in ...…

The smart device draws and stores solar energy using nanotechnology. "It will come handy for defence personnel as solar tiles don't need batteries, which are heavy and occupy space," said Dr Shanti Nair. He said energy generation and storage must go ...…

“For me, for example, there are enormous opportunities on the horizon with the advent of nanotechnology – people's immediate reaction seems to be 'ooh, new technology, that sounds risky', but nanotechnology needs to be talked about, and this is part of ...…

Researchers at the Wake Forest University's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials have developed a new fabric that uses thermoelectrics to charge devices. Dubbed the 'Power Felt,' the material can produce an ...…

A research team from the Wake Forest University's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials has developed a thermoelectric device called Power Felt, which is capable of transforming body heat to an electrical current.…

North Central State College in Mansfield took the first step to integrating Nanotechnology into its science education program by purchasing the NanoProfessor Nanoscience Education Program curriculum. Ken Ekegren, Assistant Professor for Engineering ...…

Machine learning may improve molecular design for nanotechnology. At various points along the path toward productive nanosystems for molecular manufacturing it would be useful to be able to calculate the properties and reactions of ...…

Researchers at Wake Forest's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials announced yesterday the creation of a thermoelectric device they say could open up new energy-harvesting applications. The university is seeking to find investors to ...…
