A nanostructure called a “gyroid” provides the basis for a more efficient, inexpensive nanotech solar cell.
Carbon nanotubes make nanotech loudspeakers that produce sound without mechanical movement.
A nanotech assay for trace levels of proteins associated with cancer is a thousand fold more sensitive than are current assays.
New nanotech applications may be made possible by the demonstration of a force generated from light that does not require a reflective surface.
Dr. David Baker, who with Dr. Brian Kuhlman was awarded the 2004 Foresight Nanotech Institute Feynman Prize for Theory, will be one of three winners of the 2008 Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Biophysics. Dr. Baker has been featured on Nanodot posts this year for inviting online gamers to aid in protein design… Continue reading Nanotechnology researcher to receive Sackler Prize in Biophysics
A new multi-disciplinary collaboration will focus on developing computing technology that mimics the human brain in being able to solve a wide variety of problems.
A new microscope may facilitate nanotech developments by combining nanometer scale spatial resolution with temporal resolution in the millisecond to femtosecond range.
A startup company has now received a $3.5 million grant from the state of Texas to commercialize the nanotech delivery of a drug for cancer treatment.
Arrays of atomic force probe tips are promising nanotech approaches to denser, faster, cheaper memories.
It has not been tested experimentally yet, but if a proposal to use graphene as a nanotech method to sequence DNA very rapidly and inexpensively pans out, the “wonder material” of nanotechnology could find yet another use.
