Chemically modified graphene (CMG) may lead to ultracapacitors that can store about twice as much electrical charge as is possible with current commercially available materials.
Researchers have developed a nanoparticle that is stable enough inside an animal to deliver molecules to image a tumor in multiple ways and to deliver drugs to kill the tumor.
An increasingly serious research effort is being mounted to ensure the safe development and commercialization of nanotechnology (see, for example, this news from a couple weeks ago). The recent formation of an international alliance to establish the methods used to test the safety of nanotech materials is not only encouraging for the development of nanotechnology… Continue reading International alliance to establish safety protocols for nanotechnology
A new method called amplitude spectroscopy may facilitate a nanotech pathway to quantum computing by making it easier to characterize the energy levels of artificial atoms.
A very powerful electron microscope capable of resolving single gold atoms has revealed why some gold nanoparticles work and some don’t.
Nanoparticles that simultaneously deliver water-soluble and water-insoluble drugs might offer an advantage in killing cancer cells that develop resistance to one drug.
A new study will trace the movement of nanoparticles through the environment and determine their impact on health and natural systems.
A web of single-crystalline titanium disilicide absorbs light efficiently and may be a useful catalyst to split water.
Adding the ability to target nanotech cancer therapy to the mitochondria within cancer cells renders the treatment more effective.
Add to graphene’s record-breaking strength the discovery that graphene beams are unexpectedly stiff.
