Nickel nanoparticles are used as a catalyst to produce various substances — for example, synthetic hydrocarbons. Broad use of this inexpensive catalytic metal is limited by the fact that researchers have no effective method of generating nanoparticle

The ICPC Nanonet Project is currently accepting registrations for the next webinar event, a “Latin American Biomedical Nanotechnology Showcase”, which takes place on 23 March 2011, 13.30-16.00 GMT (14.30-17.00 CET, 9.30-12.00 CLT, 10.30-13.00 ART & B

Scientists at the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, have generalized the known facts about the influence of technogeneous nanoparticles on water-dwelling organisms. The report published in the Newsletter of Ru

Researchers at the University of Orenburg have tested the effect of various carbon nanoparticles on bacteria. It was discovered that the bacteria-growth-inhibiting properties of nanotubes declined as the quality of purification lowered; the bacteria

Experiments on rats carried out by Russian researchers have demonstrated that silica nanoparticles can be used to deliver drugs to the heart in case of myocardial ischemia.

One of the most promising directions in contemporary medicine is development o

Russian researchers have suggested a new method to form crystalline nanostructure of the Fe-Cu-Nb-Si-B alloys. The nanostructures obtained under the action of gas discharge optical radiation possess better magnetic and mechanical characteristics as c

Russian researchers have developed a method for assessing biological accumulation of nanoparticles in planktonic organisms, and have demonstrated that algae and seed shrimps intensively accumulate titanium dioxide particles.

It is known that nanoparti

In the course of plasma magnetic traps’ operation, erosion their walls’ occurs, and nano-dimensional films and dust particles are formed. Researchers at the Russian Scientific Center “Kurchatov Institute” assert: the dust can favorably influence the

Researchers at the Kazan State Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev  have developed mathematical models that describe structure of various nanotube types. They allow to adjust existing theoretical ideas and design methods for various nanotub
