The combination of electrical stimulation and a nanotech surface composed of carbon nanotubes dispersed in polycarbonate urethane was found to attract cartilage-forming cells.
Chemists have designed molecules that act like nanotech sensing robots by signaling information about their chemical environment.
Two different types of nanostructures have been reported as nanotech methods to clean up oil spills and other organic pollutants.
Atoms or molecules could be pumped through the spinning inner CNT to form patterns of atoms or molecules—a nanotech inkjet printer.
MIT scientists are discovering what controls the proper movement of nanoparticles into cells—the right kinds of molecules must be arranged in the right patterns.
An item from the June newsletter of the Innovation Society (based in St.Gallen, Switzerland) announces a training course for secondary school science teachers to help them develop a teaching syllabus on nanotech: Innovation Society introduces teachers’ training course “TEACH-NANO” As nanotechnology is coming into our daily lives it will also conquer schools in the near… Continue reading Nanotechnology training for high school teachers now available
Very precise measurements confirmed many of the unusual effects theoretically predicted for graphene, but they also revealed effects of unanticipated additional interactions, which are not yet understood.
Researchers have developed a method of producing titanium oxide crystals with more reactive surfaces.
Will nanotechnology culminate with diamondoid nanorobots produced in nanofactories by atomically precise mechanosynthesis, or with “soft” machines that mimic the way biological molecular machines work?
Taiwanese researchers have constructed a molecule in which exposure to light causes causes the molecule to change shape so that rotation of one part of the molecule with respect to another part can no longer occur.
