A bacterial virus called M13 was genetically engineered to control the arrangement of carbon nanotubes, improving solar-cell efficiency by nearly one-third.
Zyvex Technologies announced that its 54-foot boat named Piranha completed a rough-weather sea test near Puget Sound in the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating record fuel efficiency.
Will proposals to establish criteria for green nanotechnology foster growth of nanotechnology innovation?
A step toward advanced nanotechnology has been achieved by using attachment to a surface and confinement by surrounding molecules to make two molecules react to form a product that would not form if they were free to react in solution.
Combining nanoparticles and graphene with platinum produces more efficient and durable catalyst for fuel cells.
A new laser for nanotechnology could lead to more powerful microscopes, faster computers, and more efficient solar energy collectors.
Graphene supercapacitor stores as much energy per unit mass as nickel metal hydride batteries but charges in minutes.
Research and Science Education Subcommittee Chairman Dan Lipinski (IL-03) expressed his strong support for the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s draft Strategic Plan, in particular its focus on ensuring that America’s substantial investment in nanotech research and development is turned into new companies, products, and jobs.
High-performance metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes made possibe by controlling quantum mechanical tunneling through an ultrathin insulator could change modern electronics.
