Two different types of nanowires have been integrated on a chip to detect and amplify optical signals.
Long particles are internalized by cancer cells more efficiently than are round particles.
Nanotech has fashioned from graphene a one atom-thick membrane impermeable even to helium gas.
Nanotech has taken a major step along the road to molecular electronics with the demonstration that one molecule of benzene can form a highly conductive junction between two platinum electrodes.
H.R. 6661 establishes a prize competition for five key areas of nanotech.
A pioneering UK program aimed at developing a nanofactory has made a £1.53M ($3M) award to Professor Philip Moriarty of the University of Nottingham to support a five-year series of experiments to investigate the possibility of diamond mechanosynthesis, testing the theoretical proposals recently made by Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle. Details are contained in the… Continue reading Diamond mechanosynthesis for atomically precise nanotechnology to be explored experimentally
From The Economist, a look at Russia’s technology, including nanotech: After years of high oil prices, money is again no object: in 2007 Russia put 130 billion roubles ($5.5 billion) into a state corporation for nanotechnologies that is being likened to the Manhattan Project… But the big problem for high technology in Russia is neither… Continue reading Russia's nanotechnology "Manhattan Project" gets slow start
Nanotech researchers have constructed a UV laser that they expect will eventually be able to manipulate and precisely deposit Group III and Group V atoms to construct composite materials atom-by-atom.
Sturdy structures ordered with nanometer precision have now been formed by combining supramolecular assembly of ordered networks with self-assembled monolayers.
A role for nanotech applications can be seen in the responses to the US energy crisis made by both candidates for the US Presidency.
