Scientists have continued progress toward the goal of nanotech membranes for water purification that will greatly decrease the energy cost for desalination.

A discovery of unexpected properties of an insulating layer only a few atoms thick may lead to a new nanotech approach to faster computers.

A novel nanotech procedure produces metal nanostructures containing uniform hexagonal pores about 10 nm across that could supply new catalysts, faster metal wires for microchips, and better optical materials.

Millimeter-scale nanotech structures self-assembled from hybrid nanowires can sense and respond to external stimuli.

A nanotech version of the optical tweezers traditionally used to manipulate micrometer-scale objects manipulates objects at the 200-nm scale.
