A biohybrid microbot has been developed to decontaminate water University of California researchers has found a way to remove water pollution and contaminants through efficient and fast methods.
In a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and Northeastern University, researchers have now developed a model for predicting the shape of metal nanocrystals or "islands" sandwiched between or below two-dimensional (2-D) materials such as graphene.
A newly developed coating for fibers now shows an advantage for efficiently getting the toxic chemicals used during manufacturing of the fiber and all the chemical warfare agents developed during the manufacturing condition such as humidity.
Previous research may have showed that metal nanoparticles have properties useful for various biomedical applications, there are still many mysteries remain regarding how these tiny materials form.
Tumor cells slowed down through black nanoparticles Scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen demonstrated the dark skin pigment melanin as an effective tool in tumor diagnosis and treatment.
The central goal of nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale, especially to build microscopic devices or structures.
Information could lead to new and better energy conversion materials Scientists at the Sensitive Instrument Facility of the U. S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory achieved real-time atom rearrangement monitoring using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy during the synthesis of intermetallic nanoparticles.
Science-fiction writers have long envisioned human¬-machine hybrids that wield extraordinary powers. However, "super plants" with integrated nanomaterials may be much closer to reality than cyborgs.
Japanese scientists have developed a technique to transform a copper-based substance into a material that mimics properties of precious and pricey metals such as gold and silver.
Rice University chemists discovered that stir bars covered in PTFE, also known as Teflon, react with chemicals in an unexpected way during the modification of nanotubes through Billups-Birch reduction.
Researchers are using quantum physics to cool nanoparticles. When a particle is completely isolated from its environment, the laws of quantum physics start to play a crucial role.
